Mardi Himal Trek invites you to a journey filled with serene trails, panoramic mountain views, and authentic local culture Nestled quietly in the shadows of Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre. This trek is quieter and shorter than the crowded Annapurna Base Camp route. Yet, it offers the same breathtaking experience for all trekkers.
First of all, this trek is ideal for those who have limited time but still want to experience the high Himalayas. It usually takes 5 to 7 days, and it rewards you with spectacular close-up views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Mardi Himal, and Annapurna South. Moreover,the trail is peaceful, the lodges are cozy, and the scenery keeps changing—from dense forests to open alpine ridges.
The Mardi Himal Trek typically starts from Kande or Phedi, both reachable within an hour from Pokhara. From there, trekkers ascend through forest trails to Forest Camp, then gradually make their way to High Camp, before reaching Mardi Himal Base Camp at 4,500 meters.
You can end the trek by descending through Siding Village, where you’ll get a glimpse of traditional Nepali village life.
In addition to its stunning natural beauty, the Mardi Himal Trek offers a unique connection to nature. You walk under blooming rhododendron forests, watch yaks grazing on green meadows, and witness the dramatic rise of snow peaks at sunrise—all in one short trail.
The locals—mostly Gurung and Magar communities—are incredibly welcoming. Their teahouses offer simple yet warm hospitality that stays in your memory long after the trek ends.
To make your journey smooth and enjoyable, here are a few tips you won’t often find elsewhere:
Whether you’re a beginner or an occasional hiker, this trek suits you well. It’s also a perfect choice for travelers looking for a short Himalayan adventure that doesn’t compromise on views or experience.

The Mardi Himal Trek is a moderate-level trekking experience in Nepal’s Annapurna region, ideal for travelers seeking a quiet and scenic alternative to popular routes. This 6-day journey starts from Kande or Phedi, just outside Pokhara, and ends at Siding Village, where a vehicle brings you back to Pokhara. The trek reaches a maximum altitude of 4,500 meters at Mardi Himal Base Camp, offering close-up views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) and Annapurna South. Best done in spring (March–May) or autumn (September–November), the trail passes through blooming forests, alpine ridges, and remote villages. Along the way, trekkers stay in local teahouses and mountain lodges, enjoying simple meals three times a day. The trek includes transportation between Pokhara and the trekking points, and is suitable for both solo travelers and small groups. Cultural interactions with Gurung and Magar communities, sunrise hikes, and peaceful mountain moments make this short trek deeply rewarding.
