Introduction

Mardi Himal Trek 10 Days is a perfect option for those of us who are looking for an best hiking path trekking experience in the quieter parts of the Annapurna region of Nepal. It is the lowly and possibly the smallest amount visited of the trekking peaks in Nepal.  While trekking on this direction, leading up to Mardi Himal base camp and finally the high camp, we get to appreciate the solitary trails complete with verdant forests, attractive villages, valleys, terraced farms, amazing rivers and the surprising views of the Annapurna range, Machhapuchre (Fishtail) and Hiunchuli mountains. One more advantage about this trekking route is that the trail makes a small round up to the base camp of Mardi Himal so that we don’t have to back down over the same way.

In finale, Mardi Himal trek is a small trek in the Annapurna region of Nepal where we stay in teahouses, try local food, realize the outstanding hill and mountain scenery, and awesome sight at the panoramic views of the gigantic Himalayan mountains including Annapurna, Machhapuchre, Hiunchuli and Mardi Himal.

Best Time to Travel:

We have two best seasons in the year like autumn and spring, Autumn best month is mid September to mid December and spring best month is mid February to May this two seasons are the best seasons for this trek because of the weather is fine and warm with perfect views but the nights are chilly and can drop to freezing level in higher altitude. Winter season is also good for Mardi Himal Trek the only problem is cold and lot of snow at High Camp and on the way to Upper Viewpoint. Trekking in summer season will be affected by rain and leach but the summer and winter, trek the trekking routes are not crowded like a spring and autumn.
