[2025 Kaski Attraction] Travel Guide for Mardi Himal Trek (Updated Jul)

Mardi Himal is considered one of the most beautiful trekking routes in Nepal, and it's relatively easy for beginners. The trek doesn't require many days, making it accessible for those with limited time. Throughout the journey, trekkers can enjoy stunning views of Machhapuchhre (Fish Tail Mountain) almost the entire way, along with breathtaking vistas of the world-famous Annapurna mountain range. Additionally, if you visit during the right season, you might encounter the enchanting rhododendron forests along the trail. Beyond the natural beauty, this trek offers opportunities to immerse yourself in the local lifestyle, learn about the culture, and connect with the people of the region. Mardi Himal remains a cherished destination in my heart. Even as time passes, the memories of this incredible experience continue to linger. ❤

Trekking in the Himalayas was a deeply emotional journey. Surrounded by towering peaks and endless silence, I faced not just the mountains but myself. Every sunrise filled me with wonder, every step tested my spirit. The kindness of the people and the raw beauty of nature healed parts of me I didn’t know were broken. It was not just a trek — it was a return to something pure and timeless.

Travelled to Nepal, Pokhara to complete a trek on Mardi Himal. it was an insane experience. we could see 7 mountains of Himalayas just before our eyes. Magnificent.#travel #trek

#NovemberTravelSupportEvent They say that people in their 20s and 30s are different... .. While backpacking in my 20s, My bucket list is to go to the Himalayas! That was the mindset that dominated Gaoㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I set my goal as the Mardi Himal 4500m base camp It wasn't a trip that only went to Nepal, but I packed my backpack with the focus of going to Nepal! But if you go to Pokhara, there are a lot of trekking shops ㅋㅋㅋㅋ You can rent and buy everything ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just pack a lot of luggage ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Food was also a lot ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I went up with a 14kg backpack At that time, there wasn't much information about the Mardi Himal course. It was dangerous to blindly challenge it with insufficient information, but if I hadn't tried it at this age, I don't think I would have been able to do it now ㅠㅠ At that time, I was more excited than worried.. Age gap.. Stamina.. Looking at the offline map and the path marked on the trees, I only looked at the ground, only looked forward,,, From the first day, I thought, Wow, I have to give up Why did I.. I really regretted it The reason I chose Mardi Himal I thought it was at the height I thought it would be, and the period was short. The reason is that it seems like it goes up in a straight line... ?ㅎ You can also pay to use the Wi-Fi at the lodge! Of course, you can pay to use the charger! It's not smooth.. It's like a barn, but I slept on a wooden bed, in a sleeping bag, There were no shower facilities, and no water to wash in, but as the altitude increased, I couldn't wash because I was worried about altitude sickness, and I barely washed my face and teeth with water. I brought water purification tablets and Pocari powder.. Later, just smelling it made me nauseous. Just looking at it, it felt like laxative water.. There are so many stories, but it's too much to tell them all. Anyway!!!!!! The taste of drinking Red Bull after reaching the destination was fantastic!!!!!!! And I wanted to jump off thinking about going down.. Going down was harder.. After descending and arriving at the accommodation, I walked on flat ground, and it felt like walking on clouds for two days.. I couldn't walk well for two days and went around looking for a massage shop.. And I went from Nepal to Maldives!!!!!!!!>< From the sky to the sea!!!!!!!!! Anyway, everyone.. It's so so great to challenge, go on adventures, experience, and travel while you're young!!!!!! I'm happy that I have memories that I can look back on and cherish for the rest of my life!! #Himalaya

Mardi Himal Trek This is the newest and easiest trek in Nepal. It is gradually gaining popularity among trekkers.

Mardi Himal Base Camp This spectacular trek also brings together the beauty of the Himalayas, their flora and fauna, especially around the dense forests. The trail takes you to the snow-capped hills, which offer spectacular mountain views, with views of Mardi Himal, South Annapurna, Machhapuchre and Hiunchuli. #TrekkingTrip #mardihimaltrek #TrekkingNepal #NepalTravel #NepalRoofOfTheWorld

The Mardi Himal is located in the Annapurna region, which can be seen from the foreground below the peak of Machhapuchhre (6,993 m). Before the official launch of the trail in 2012, it was completely unknown to trekkers. Now it has become a popular and quick trekking spot. The trek follows a ridge trail that offers stunning views of the Dhaulagiri ranges and Annapurna to the west. The trail starts at Kande, a hilltop village. It winds through dense forests of oaks and rhododendrons in the central mountains. As you continue north along the trail, you find yourself close to the mountains and far away from the city life below. After several days, you will cross lush forests and come across wide open spaces that have been designated as grazing areas for the indigenous people. A sense of bliss will follow. #TrekkingTrip #NepalTravel #mardihimaltrek #NepalHimalayas #NepalTrekking

Mardi Himal trail is considered a relatively new trekking trail because it was officially opened around 2012. This trail is suitable for those who love the beauty of the peak Machhapuchhre or fishtail peak This trail will show you the peak clearly in the best angle because it is the angle where you can see the peak still in the shape of a fishtail (some angles will show only a sharp peak) This trail is still very rich in nature The first part is in a shady forest full of big trees It is very pleasant to walk, especially in the area with a thousand-year-old rose The shape of the trees is very beautiful, like walking in a fairytale city There are not many accommodations along the way, so if you come in a large group, you should book in advance #TrekkingTrip #TrekkingNepal #PlacesToVisitNepal #mardihimaltrek #Nepal #NepalHimalayanLand

This is the last day of this route. Woke up to take pictures at Low camp before waving goodbye. The return route today will be different from the day we went up. This route is closer but also steeper. Most of the route is hiking, so we didn't get to see much of the mountain view. After walking down for about 3 hours, we arrived at Sidhing. Then we took a jeep for another 2 hours to Pokhara. That's the end of the trip!! Actually, Mardi Himal is a route. It's not easy to walk, but not too difficult. Most of the route is stairs made of stone. Those who have knee problems like me, scream! But it's a fun route to walk, with many beautiful angles. If the sky is clear, you can see the mountain view from the first day Until the last day ... .. . .! Walking time: 3:00 hrs. Walking distance: 8.5 km ------------------------------------------- #Nature attractions #MardiHimalTrek #NepalTrekking #Nepal #HimalayanAdventure #MardiBaseCamp #TrekkingNepal #ExploreNepal -------------------------------------------
