What people love about Mardi Himal Tours
- Mardi Himal Trek
Special thanks to our porter! He was the best! Always friendly although he had to carry a lot. We would love to see him as a guide soon! Nevertheless it would have been better if we would have get an email that tells us that we can leave some of our stuff in pokhara. Furthermore a packing list would have been great. In our opinion it’s possible to do the track faster
Mardi Himal Trek, highly recommended for those having less time and in the mean time for the excellent views. Wonderful tour plus trek program
Mardi Himal (Off The Beaten) Trek
This was one of The best tours I ever did. There were two guides coming With me, both With different skills. One very knowledgeble and one very caring. Both took great care of me, made my holiday amazing and make me feel very confortable. Hard working man in a natural Way. Kind and open heart. I got picked up The First day when my Guide waa waving still enthousiastly even tho my flight got late and it took long time. He showed me The places around my area I was staying and The next day we went to Pokhara. On The Way he Told me a lot of information and Where we Can Go. They were very active and for me They had The exact same speed as me when hiking Which made iT I think comfortabel for all of us. They even carried my bag Which what not really needed. They were relaxt, you could have great conversations With them But Also just be Quite and Enjoy without The need of “must talk all the time”. The slippery parts since I just had sneakers on top They gave me a hand and They really listened if I wanted to buy something specific. The Way Back went fast and sad iT was Almost time to Go Back to katmandu and end of our hiking time together. Everything in The program was good. Not too less walking Also not too Much. You could explore very Well. I would really recommand this touring company! They are Also VERY responsable in messaging if you have questions. They reply very fast. Thank you so Much for The great experience! I Will never forget.

What our customers ask about Mardi Himal Tours & Trips
When is the best time to visit Mardi Himal Country Region?
The region sees its best conditions from March to May and September to November with optimal visibility and temperatures. Spring brings a colorful display of rhododendrons along paths that lead to views of towering peaks including Annapurna I (8091m) Dhaulagiri (8163m) and Machhapuchre (6991m). The routes see fewer visitors than nearby Annapurna circuits making it possible to walk through villages like Deurali and Forest Camp in relative peace. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned "The views in spring were absolutely stunning with blooming rhododendrons and crystal clear mountain vistas."
What are the accommodation options in Mardi Himal Country Region?
Travelers can find lodging that ranges from simple teahouses to full-service hotels depending on location. Pokhara offers properties like Hotel Peninsula with lake views while the trek route provides basic teahouses in Forest Camp Low Camp (3150m) and High Camp (3900m). Higher elevation stays typically mean shared bathrooms and simpler amenities though Low Camp provides memorable views of Mt. Machhapuchhre. A TourRadar traveler notes "The teahouses were simple but clean and the warm hospitality of the local Gurung people made the experience truly special."
What are the must-see highlights of Mardi Himal Country Region?
The centerpiece of the region is Mardi Himal Base Camp at 4500m which offers views of Annapurna South (7219m) Hiunchuli (6441m) and the distinctive Fish Tail peak. The route takes travelers through dense rhododendron forests past Gurung settlements like Sidhing village and up to sunrise viewing points at High Camp (3900m). According to a TourRadar traveler "The highlight was definitely reaching the Upper Viewpoint at 4250m - the panoramic view of the entire Annapurna range was absolutely breathtaking making every step of the journey worthwhile."
What's included in typical Mardi Himal trek packages?
Standard packages provide English-speaking guides porter service (one porter for two trekkers) required permits including TIMS and Annapurna Conservation Area access teahouse lodging three daily meals transport between Kathmandu and Pokhara and city hotel stays. A TourRadar traveler noted "The package was comprehensive with excellent guide service and comfortable accommodations at Hotel Peninsula in Pokhara making the entire journey hassle-free."
What kind of weather conditions should I expect in Mardi Himal?
The climate shifts dramatically with elevation changes. Pokhara at 820m maintains warm temperatures while High Camp at 3900m often drops below freezing after dark. Spring months (March-May) bring mild days and clear mornings while autumn (September-November) offers the most stable conditions. One TourRadar traveler shared "The weather was quite unpredictable - warm and sunny during day hikes through the forest but quite cold at High Camp so proper layering was essential."
What cultural experiences can I expect in Mardi Himal?
The path leads through Gurung communities where traditional life continues in villages like Sidhing and Landruk. Visitors can taste authentic Nepali dishes see centuries-old architecture and walk past prayer flags on ancient trading paths. As one TourRadar traveler remarked "The interaction with local Gurung families in Sidhing village sharing their traditional meals and learning about their customs was an unexpected highlight of our trek."
