Mardi Himal Trek

Mardi Himal Trek is one of the short and easy treks in Nepal. It is also known as the most pristine trek in Annapurna Region. Heaven is a myth for everyone but I experience heaven at Mardi Himal Trek. In 2018 when I was at Ghorepani Poonhill Trek, one of the trekkers told me that you have to go to Mardi Himal Trek for the best view of fishtail Himal. Mardi Himal Trek is the best option to explore the golden tail of Fishtail Himal. The alluring view of the golden tail of Fishtail Himal is the rarest and most exotic view. We can not see such kind of mind-blowing view from any other region in Nepal.

Day Wise Briefing

Mardi Himal Trek starts from Kande. It is at an altitude of  1770m from sea level. I reach kande after one and half hour drive from Pokhara. After a half hour’s hike, I reach the Australian Base Camp. It is the best spot to explore the Annapurna South. It lies at an altitude of 2160m altitude. Australian Base Camp is also famous for one day hikes in the Annapurna region. I spend half an hour there then I continue my trek with the mind-blowing view of Himchuli Himal, Fishtail Himal, and Annapurna South on my north side. I reach Deurali passing Pothana for lunch. Deurali is the junction point for Lunch. It lies at 2100m.

Many trekkers are satisfying their hunger with delicious food. I ate the national food of Nepal(Dal Bhat). After one hour of having lunch, I continue my trek toward the forest camp. Forest camp is my final destination for today. On this trail, I can not see any mountain. I trek the whole day in the dense forest of Rhododendron Tree. Rhododendron is the national flower of Nepal. I saw many species of Rhododendron there. Forest Camp lies at the altitude of 2900m. There are few tea houses in Forest Camp. If you are planning to go there, it is better to book the hotel in advance. The food was awesome at Mardi Guest House. Moreover, the smile and the hospitality of the local people are more delicious than the food.

More About Mardi Trek

The next day, I woke early in the morning. After having a satisfying breakfast, I started my trek. After 45 min of the uphill trek, I reached the rest camp. Rest Camp is the vantage point to explore the Annapurna South. Rest Camp is the alternative to a forest camp for an overnight stay. High Camp is my today’s destination. I took lunch at the low camp. Low Camp lies at the altitude of 3150m from sea level. High Camp lies at an altitude of 3580 from sea level.  Mardi Himal Base Camp is the final destination. It lies at an altitude of 4480m from sea level. Mardi Himal Base Camp is also known as Fishtail Base Camp.

We can see the Best to Oversee Golden Fish view near the Machapuchre Basecamp which is really stunning view of the entire Mardi trekking. Mardi Himal Trek is a boon for those trekkers who want to explore huge mountains in a short period of time. Really, Mardi Himal Trek is beyond my imagination. I found more than my expectation. I recommend everyone to do Mardi Himal Trek at least once in a lifetime.
