The Mardi Himal Trek is a lesser-known route in Nepal's Annapurna region, offering breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains in just four days. Ideal for travellers with limited time, this moderate trek combines mountain scenery, nature, adventure, culture, and the warm hospitality of local people. Following a quieter trail with fewer visitors, you will reach the Mardi Himal View Point at 4350 metres for an unforgettable Himalayan experience.

We will wake up early to hike to Mardi Himal Base Camp (4350m) to watch the sunrise over the Annapurna ranges.
