Itinerary
- Day 1 · Hidden in plain sight above Pokhara. the Mardi Himal trek is one of Nepal's most rewarding and least crowded trails.
- Day 2 · While thousands of trekkers head to Poon Hill or Annapurna Base Camp every season. this quiet ridge route climbs steadily through ancient rhododendron forests and open highland meadows toward one of the most dramatic viewpoints in the entire Annapurna region — and most people have never heard of it. In just 5 days, this trek takes you from the lush foothills above Pokhara to the raw, wind-carved r…
- Day 3 · The views from up here are extraordinary and deeply personal. Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) fills the sky directly ahead, so close it feels within reach, while Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and Annapurna I stretch across the horizon in a wall of ice and rock that stops you in your tracks. What makes this trail genuinely special is its intimacy.
- Day 4 · The path winds along a narrow ridge with open views on both sides. the teahouses are small and welcoming, and the crowds that define other Annapurna routes simply do not exist here.

About Mardi Himal Trek: High Camp & Base Camp 5 Days
Hidden in plain sight above Pokhara, the Mardi Himal trek is one of Nepal's most rewarding and least crowded trails. While thousands of trekkers head to Poon Hill or Annapurna Base Camp every season, this quiet ridge route climbs steadily through ancient rhododendron forests and open highland meadows toward one of the most dramatic viewpoints in the entire Annapurna region — and most people have never heard of it. In just 5 days, this trek takes you from the lush foothills above Pokhara to the raw, wind-carved ridgeline of High Camp and all the way to Mardi Himal Base Camp at 4,500 meters.
The views from up here are extraordinary and deeply personal — Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) fills the sky directly ahead, so close it feels within reach, while Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and Annapurna I stretch across the horizon in a wall of ice and rock that stops you in your tracks. What makes this trail genuinely special is its intimacy. The path winds along a narrow ridge with open views on both sides, the teahouses are small and welcoming, and the crowds that define other Annapurna routes simply do not exist here.
You walk at your own pace, breathe clean mountain air and experience the Himalayas the way they were meant to be experienced — quietly and completely. An overnight stay at High Camp is the centerpiece of this itinerary — waking before dawn to watch the first light paint Machhapuchhre gold from your teahouse window is a moment that will stay with you long after you return to Pokhara. Our groups never exceed 8 to 10 trekkers, hotel pickup is included from Lakeside Pokhara, and the entire trek can be privately arranged for couples, families or solo adventurers seeking something genuinely off the beaten path.
