The Mardi Himal Trek is a scenic journey in the Annapurna Region of Nepal, ideal for those seeking a less crowded alternative to popular treks like Poon Hill or Annapurna Base Camp. The trek begins in Pokhara and offers breathtaking views of towering peaks such as Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchre, and Manaslu. It takes you through charming villages, lush rhododendron forests, and culminates at the Mardi Himal Base Camp (4,500 m) along a scenic ridge. The trek can be completed in 6 days, but can be extended to 7-8 days depending on your schedule.
