Mardi Himal Trek

Once you reach Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), the Himalayan Marvel Adventure delegate will receive you from there then check-in in the hotel.

Early in the morning, we will sit together for a meeting with the tour guide and our staff then we will give a brief discussion about our itineraries, accommodation, transportation, services that we include, and exclude, and we provide a cap, T-shirt, and bag with our company logo. 

After the meeting, you can go to Kathmandu sightseeing with our city tour guide. Our city tour guide will take you to many famous places in Kathmandu valley like Kathmandu Durbar Square, Budhanilkantha, Bouddha, Pashupati Bhaktapur, Swoyambhu, Asan -market, and many more according to the time we have.

The day starts early in the morning to drive to Pokhara. It will take around 7-8 hrs and most probably we will start at 6 am and will have lunch on the way. Once we reach Pokhara we will check-in in at the hotel and take a rest. In the evening we will visit the lakeside of Pokhara and relax there. 

If we fly to Pokhara then we will leave for the airport by 7 am and take a flight at 8 am. After some time we will reach Pokhara and check-in in at the hotel. Since it is not tiring that’s why we can explore Pokhara. You will find many exciting places here with natural beauty. The whole day you can enjoy the beauty of nature at Pokhara and can take part in some exciting adventures like paragliding, zip flyer, mountain biking, ultralight flight, and many more. 

Many adventures are waiting for you so it is your decision to go to Pokhara by driving or flying. (Note: Price changes if you choose to fly.)

We’ll leave early in the morning for Phedi, where we’ll begin our Mardi Himal trek. We’ll take the stairs from Phedi. The route rises to Pothana across rhododendron and pine forests before we reach Dhampus, a Gurung village famous for its spectacular scenery of the Annapurna ranges, Lamjung Himal, and Manaslu. We will resume our climb, till we reach the nearby town of Pothana, enclosed by forests and offers breathtaking mountain views. At the Pothana checkpoint, we can also receive the TIMS/ACAP ticket.

Following a delicious meal, we begin our trek with a sloping incline uphill via a dense forest, with stunning scenery of the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges. The forest is home to several exotic species, and we may see some of these animals and birds along the way. After about five hours of walking, we’ll arrive at the forest camp and pitch our tents for the night.

We’ll leave after breakfast and make our way to Low Camp. As we rise higher, the landscape will change, and the rhododendron forests will reduce as anemones and fungus take over nature on today’s trail. The view of Annapurna South and Hiunchuli is spectacular. We’ll arrive in the afternoon and spend the night at Low Camp.

The day begins with a quick, steep climb out of the rhododendron forest, followed by a lush green path to High Camp, where we will have lunch. The Mardi Himal, Annapurna South, Hiuchuli, Gangapurna, Machhapuchhre, and the Mardi Himal itself will be visible from here. Today is also an acclimatization day because we will be at an elevation of 3,600 m above sea level. Throughout the day, we have spectacular views of the Himalayas.

Today starts with an early wake-up call to enjoy the most stunning sunrise views of the mighty Himalayas. After breakfast, we ascend to the 4200-meter-high Upper viewpoint. A strenuous day of hiking across winding, rocky trails, but the breathtaking views of this magnificent mountain will make it all worthwhile. You will be able to see Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Gangapurna, Tare Kang, Khangsar, Annapurna III, and Fish Tail up close if the weather is clear.

We’ll return to low camp and then proceed towards the southeast from the ridge via the thick forest towards Mardi Khola.

On the final day of the trek where we will trek for around 3 hours and reach Lumre. From here we drive back to Pokhara, 

Since it’s a long day, we start the day early in the morning. After breakfast at the hotel, we drove back to Kathmandu on the same route which we took previously. After around 7 hrs, we reach the hotel and then check in and relax.

Or if you fly back to Kathmandu it will take less time to reach there and you also get a chance to explore Kathmandu valley. If you are flying then you will take a morning flight at 7:45 am and by 10 am you will check-in in at the hotel. So you will have enough time to do shopping or explore the valley or you can relax the whole day, it’s your choice.

We will have a farewell dinner with the trekking crew a guide and other staff. Enjoy the farewell dinner, and then have a sound sleep at the hotel of Kathmandu. 

Early in the morning, we will sit together for breakfast and begin our day with a Drive to the majestic city of Patan where we will be visiting the ancient Patan Durbar Square home of the Malla Kingdom after a couple of hours there we will be heading to another beautiful city of Bhaktapur.

Himalayan Marvel Adventure delegate will drop you at the airport before 3 hrs and return to the respective places. Or you can choose the next program for the next adventurous journey.
