Mardi Himal Trekking In Nepal

Mardi Himal offers an opportunity to escape Nepal’s tourist trails to venture in to the deep forests and roam the high alpine pastures that flank the Annapurna himalayan ranges. It is considered to be an ideal place for trekking and mountaineering in Nepal. It is an easy trek, no previous experience of high altitude is necessary. No doubt, a trek to Mardi Himal takes you into one of the most untouched areas of the Himalayas. Located in the east of the Modi Khola, Mardi Himal is separated from Machhapuchhre ridge by a col (5,200m. /17,060 ft.) and reaches the summit via the route on its east flank. One can find few villages along the trail and the trekkers are required to walk through the forests. The trek provides wilderness that culminates with spectacular close up view of Annapurnas, Machhapuchare (Fishtail), Wilderness trek in annapurna region, flora and fauna, beautiful Village view, alpine forest, Gurung and thakali culture, eco friendly villager as well as the the least touristy trek.
