Overview

“You can’t move mountains by whispering at them.” – Pink

 About Trip 
For a long time period, only a few trekking groups with tents and a culinary team could access the Mardi Himal Trek. The trip follows shepherds' well-worn paths, which still supply summer grazing. The trail was first opened in 2012 and is still in excellent condition. Only a few teahouses with fundamental amenities are available. Not far from Pokhara, this is a short, very easy, and unspoilt walk. Despite this, it offers a wide range of experiences, including cultural insights, magnificent forest treks, and alpine scenery. Because the trail largely follows the ridge, the ascent is relatively gradual.

Our Mardi Himal base camp Trek route follows the western ridge of Mt Fishtail and progressively ascends to the Mardi Himal base camp at 4,500 meters.
