The four-day Mardi Himal trek in the Annapurna region is strenuous and stunning and provides amazing vistas of the Himalayan mountain range. Compared to the well-known Everest Base Camp walk or the Annapurna Circuit trek, it is a lesser-known route.

After completing the Poon Hill trip, we began the Mardi Himal trek at Ghandruk. Like on other trekking routes, there are a variety of starting and finishing points inside the Annapurna Sanctuary. It seemed quite popular to combine the route with one of the other treks in the sanctuary, as the majority of the trekkers we encountered had completed the Poon Hill or Annapurna Base Camp trek before the Mardi Himal.

It came as a bit of a surprise to us to see so many people hiking the Mardi Himal trail, which was previously one of the less popular treks in the Annapurna Sanctuary. This trek is no longer as off the beaten path as it once was, but it is still less crowded than the Poon Hill, Annapurna Base Camp, or Annapurna Circuit.

You will see an uncharted portion of the well-known Himalayan range on the Mardi Himal Trek. The walk allows us to get a close-up, westerly view of the mountain’s winning peak, Machhapuchhare, also known as Fishtail in English. The Annapurna Mountain Massif, which includes magnificent mountain ranges in the middle Himalayas, contains Machhapuchhare as its southernmost and highest peak.
Our trekking excursion will lead us to several warm valleys and a huge number of welcoming settlements despite the isolated locations. In addition to this, we take our walking path from the highland communities across the Mardi Khola Bank and descend via several magnificent fields and straightforward farms. Overall, you will have the chance to have a nice trip through the picturesque countryside.
