HIGHLIGHTS
  • Trek to Mardi Himal Base Camp
  • Explore an off the beaten path in the Annapurna region
  • See one of the world's most beautiful mountains, Machhapuchhare
  • Enjoy amazing views of Mt Annapurna & Mt Dhaulagiri as well as the Pokhara Valley
Join us on this one-week, guided trek and explore a little known area in the Annapurna region during your trip to the base camp of Mardi Himal. Your guided adventure starts with a drive to Pokhara from Kathmandu on the first day of the tour. Spend the night in Pokhara and drive to Kaande on Day 2.

Your trek starts from Kaande as you hike through Australian Camp and Pothana to reach Deurali. Continue your journey to Mardi Himal Base Camp where you will reach on Day 5 of this tour. Enjoy stunning views of Mount Machhapuchhare as well as Mount Annapurna and Mount Dhaulagiri along the way. The return journey brings you to Pokhara via Lumre.

Less popular than other treks in the region, Mardi Himal trek nevertheless offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore an area with stunning beauty and picturesque scenery. Plus, the route is not crowned and the mountain vistas along the way are as beautiful as they can get.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about this tour.
  • How much money do I need to bring with me?

    Your personal budget obviously depends on your spending habits and what is included in your trip cost. If accommodation is included, but meals are not, we would suggest that you bring around 30 USD per day per person for meals. Having a hot shower or charging your device sometimes costs extra. There are also sometimes small crafts/souvenirs to buy along the trekking route which you may want to bring extra money for. Also, consider whether you would be staying in Kathmandu or Pokhara before or after your trek.

  • Is quarantine in Nepal in effect for arriving visitors?

    There are no quarantine requirements in Nepal for arriving visitors at the moment.

  • How much should my backpack weigh?

    A properly packed backpack (not including your day pack) should ideally not weigh more than 13 kg. It is also important to note that if you are taking a flight to the start of your trek, many smaller aircraft have weight restrictions. For example, if you are flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, you are only allowed 10kg of checked luggage, and 5 kg of hand baggage. Thus, in case of a small flight, you should ideally pack a 10 kg backpack for checked luggage, and then add 5 kg in your hand baggage. You can then re-shuffel the weigt once you start your trek at the trailhead.  

  • Do I need a porter?

    The decision to hire a porter is up to you and usually based on your fitness level and/or budget. One porter can be shared between two people and can carry up to 25 kg. Many trekkers hire a porter to have a more comfortable trek.

  • Do I require a porter for carrying water?

    On most popular treks you can expect plenty of places where you can refill your water bottle, meaning you don’t need to carry a huge water supply with you. Bring an extra bottle of water if you are concerned. If you already have a porter, you can ask him/her to carry water as long as it is within the weight limit. Another option is to carry water purification tablets or LifeStraw, both of which can be found in Kathmandu.
