MARDI HIMAL TREK
Mardi Himal Trek is one of Nepal’s most enchanting short treks, tucked away in the heart of the Annapurna region.

Rising to an altitude of 4,500 meters, the Mardi Himal trek takes you through lush forests,traditional villages, alpine meadows, and finally to breathtaking viewpoints directly beneath the majestic Mardi Himal (5,587 m) and the towering Machhapuchhre (Fishtail, 6,993 m).
