Overview
Mardi Himal Trek is newly commenced trekking destination in the land of Himalayas. Located east of the Annapurna Base Camp, one of the most famous trekking trails in Nepal, Mardi Himal is often considered as the hidden gem by the adventure junkies. Unlike most of the trekking destinations in Nepal, very few travelers make their way through the narrow winding roads to the Mardi Himal Base Camp.Mardi Himal Trek is relatively shorter in distance and is equally rewarding as any other trekking destination in Nepal. This trek offers an opportunity to explore off-the-beaten paths in the highlands along the winding trails, enchanting forests, high valleys, and traditional settlements. Hence, this trek is an ideal choice for both novices as well as experienced trekkers.
