While Mardi Himal is renowned for its stunning mountain views, it's also a haven for nature enthusiasts seeking a peaceful and tranquil trekking experience. Our 4-day Mardi Himal trek offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and a relaxed pace, making it ideal for beginners, families, and those who prioritise a leisurely exploration of the Annapurna Region.

Highlights of 4 Days Mardi Himal Trek Itinerary

  • Forest Camp: Experience the peaceful ambiance of the forest as you trek to your first campsite.

Unlike the more demanding Ghorepani Poon Hill trek, Mardi Himal focusses on immersing you in the serene beauty of the surrounding forests and landscapes.

Our 4-day itinerary is specifically designed for those who want to enjoy a leisurely pace and savor the beauty of the region. You'll have the chance to witness the vibrant rhododendron blooms during the spring season and experience the tranquillity of the mountain trails. Well, if you have limited time, you can pick a 3-day Mardi Himal Trek package.

    Our guide will come to your hotel or given address around 8.30 in the morning. We will drive from Pokhara to Kalimati village.

After reaching Kalimati, we will have lunch. Mount Fishtail is clearly visible from here, and the green landscapes are beautiful. After having lunch, we will hike towards Rest Camp.

Whether it's summer or winter, the most essential gear to have is trekking boots, thick coats, sunscreen (SpF 20), a backpack, a headlamp, and warm socks and pants.

Will I be safe on this Trek if I am traveling alone?

For female travelers traveling alone, we have planned many hiking itineraries around Nepal. Since you have invested in us and don't want bad memories, Nepalese people are nice and it is our company's major goal to make your trip unforgettable. We cherish our customers, whether they are traveling in a group or alone as women. We want to reassure you that you will be in good hands, despite the fact that just because we say wonderful things doesn't imply we're the greatest. Instead, you should read our customers' testimonials.

Does Mardi Trek meet my criteria for luxury?

I'll go up front and tell that this is not a luxury trip; there are no facilities or linked accommodations on this walk. Mardi Trip is ideal if you want to enjoy the spectacular views and traditional tea houses, but a luxury trek may indeed be organized for Ghorepani Ghandruk or the 14-day Everest trek.

Cellphone or WIFI connections are available

The majority of tea shops don't have WiFi because of the lightning, although some tea shops do offer WiFi via mobile data. Throughout the trek, our guide will be in contact with us at all times, so if you wish to connect with family, he or she may assist you.

What if I want to shower while hiking? 

On the short Mardi Himal Trek, it is available everywhere, although the fee of the shower is an additional $1 to $5.

Do I need Travel Insurance for the Mardi Himal Trek?

Yes, you absolutely must have travel insurance for your personal security. Your medical costs, a helicopter rescue, and many other things will be covered by your insurance. Do not freak out if you become sick while on the hike! Just don't be afraid to tell the guide about your issue. Depending on the severity of your illness, our guide will take appropriate action.
