Trip Overview

Mardi Himal Trek is a youngest trekking route of Nepal, but quite famous since a decade. It lies just east of Annapurna Base Camp and managing by Annapurna Conservation Area Project.

Mardi Himal is a peak of 5587m from sea level, but one of the best view-point of the entire region. A short trek that, is similar to the Poon Hill trek but Mardi wins in terms of the closet view of the Himalayas. Mardi Himal Trek route has options to trek over there, through the Siding and Phedi. It is a 10days trekking route of Nepal after Poon Hill. But, also can combine the trekking trail with Poon Hill and Mardi. By road or air are the options to get Pokhara and then choose the trail to Siding or Phedi.

A short drive from Pokhara arrives at Kande which is just about 32Km from Pokhara. Kande is the starting point of hiking. In a few days, we arrive at the High Camp via Forest Camp, Low Camp. The high camp is the town which is our final camp of the trek. From the high camp, we can see a beautiful mountain combining valleys and green hills. In between Low and High camp, there is a hill just after finishing the jungle that is Badal Danda. The Pokhara city can notice from Badal Danda.

Mardi Base Camp is the pinnacle of the entire trip. Before the base camp, we cross the upper and lower spot for the remarkable panorama of the Himalayas.

Guest Review

A big tick off my Bucket List

Linda Nguyen Australia

I have never thought of myself as a hiker or a trekker, but somehow, the idea of trekking through the Himalayas and venturing through Nepal and the worlds highest mountain seems exhilarating and almost out of reach. I did the trek to Mount Everest Base Camp in October 2014, and it was and still is one of the best experience in my life. We had Gyanu as our guide for the entire trip and not only has he been patient with a beginner trekker like me, he explained and shared with us his cultural heritage, his faith and his respect for the mountains.

Gyanu and his team always look out for our safety and comfort first. He was always humbled and considerate and would never push us beyond our limitations. I am thankful to the team, the porters and the guide that has made the trip so enjoyable and allowed myself to experience a magnificent place that they are proud to call home. I am looking forward to visiting Nepal again and I would gladly choose to organize my trip with Gyanu, this time, onto the Annapurna circuit.

Awesome Trek with Gyanu!

Ben Combe Australia

In November 2014 I undertook the Everest Base Camp trek from Lukla with Gyanu as my guide. Guiding seven other Australians and me, Gyanu made the trek an absolute pleasure, ensuring every step of the journey was a safe and happy experience. By far and away this was the most rewarding multi-day trek I have ever done, though I would recommend any of the shorter activities as well. Walking in the shadows of the spectacular mountain of Ama Dablam for a number of days, as well as a dawn summit of Kalapathar would be the highlights. (See Photos)

Gyanu has many years experience trekking in the Sagarmatha/Everest region and is extremely knowledgeable about the surrounding mountains, their history, and Nepalese/Sherpa culture. The esteem in which Gyanu is held by his fellow Nepalese was evident on every day of the trek, where he was warmly greeted and embraced by both younger porters and more experienced guides coming from the opposite direction. I would attribute much of this warmth and respect to Gyanu s commitment to educating his porters and junior guides over many years, something that obviously seems to be appreciated.

Gyanu was very patient with our group of eight trekkers and made our health, safety and comfort his primary concern. In addition, Gyanu is very good at maintaining good morale in the group, his pre-dinner Nepalese singing skills never ceased to amaze our fellow trekkers in the various tea houses as we progressed into the mountains! I will never forget my Everest Base Camp experience and would thoroughly recommend Gyanu as a guide on any trek or activity offered. If I am ever lucky enough to return to Nepal I would make sure Gyanu was my guide!
