    The final segment of the Mardi Himal trek begins bright and early with an awakening call. Our journey to the Mardi Himal Base Camp commences in the early hours, allowing us to witness the awe-inspiring sunrise. The climb up to the viewpoint lasts roughly 2 hours and presents its fair share of challenges.

    The trail is comprised of rocky terrain that can be slippery, requiring careful navigation along narrow paths lining rugged ridges on the mountain.
