Mardi Himal This trek is a great introduction for those who have limited time in the mountains of Nepal, as it is the perfect length - only a week long. Standing near Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Machhapuchhre, Gangapurna, Annapurna 1 and Mardi Himal and personally, it is an amazingly beautiful trek that takes you up the old rhododendron forest like the face of a mountain.
It is Located just east of the Annapurna base camp trek, Mardi Himal trek is a hidden gem, as few hikers visit the base camp of the beautiful and attractive fishtail or fistel located at the foot of Mardi Himal. The trail crosses small paths through old rhododendron forests, until you climb about 3,300 meters. From here, the landscape changes dramatically with the amazing view of Mardi Himal, Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli. From High Camp (3,580 m) you can climb Mardi Himal Base Camp in about 3-4 hours, which offers spectacular close-up views of the entire Annapurna range. There is also a wonderful view about 2 hours away from the high camp.
Hiking in the mountains can be challenging. But that doesn't mean you can't do it. If you love hiking and you get fit before the start of your hike, you can definitely make it.
