Overview

Mardi himal is a beautiful trek that showcases many of the Himalayan mountain peaks. It's a shorter trek, but spectacular nonetheless. It's becoming popular, but the trek isn't as populated as Annapurna Basecamp, so you will have plenty of opportunity to enjoy nature with few people around. While this trek can take 5 days, we can customize the trek to you and/or your party's needs. We want to make sure your experience in the Annapurna Conservation Area is one that you'll cherish for the rest of your life.
