Mardi Himal Trekking

Machhapuchhre and Mardi Himal

The Mardi Himal trek is a highly regarded Eco-tourism route in the Annapurna region. Mardi Himal is located east of the Modi Khola, across the valley from Hiunchuli. This trek offers the opportunity to escape Nepal’s tourist trails to venture into the deep forests and roam the high alpine pastures that flank the Annapurna ranges. Along the trail, you will be treated to spectacular views of some of the most beautiful mountains: Dhaulagiri (8167m) Annapurna (8091m), Annapurna II (7937m), Annapurna III (7555m), Annapurna IV (7525m), Annapurna south (7219m), Hiunchuli (6441m) and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain) (6988m).

We ascend through traditional villages and pristine oak and rhododendron forests to an alpine campsite that has an up-close view of Mount Machhapuchhre, Mardi Himal and Mount Annapurna. The great rice fields and the blue glaciers of the Annapurana sanctuary walls lie below the trail.

Untouched by modernization, this trekking route is a unique experience offering magnificent mountain views and a chance to venture into thick forests, mountain wildernesses and villages that have not felt the full impact of tourism. Warm hospitality and friendly behavior of local people give extra flavor to trekkers participate in Mardi Himal Trekking. This is one of the exotic and interesting treks in Nepal.
