The Mardi Himal Trek is a trek that you can find on a side trail of the one to the Annapurna Base Camp. It is a bit rougher, a bit more exciting for most but above all, a lot less busy than other treks in the Annapurna Region. The Mardi Himal Trek offers you great views of the lesser-known sides of the Annapurna Massif.

The goal is the Mardi Himal Base Camp, which you will reach at 4,500 meters (17,763 ft). Initially, there weren’t too many teahouses on this trek, but from about 2011 onwards there has been an increase of teahouses along the entire way from start to the Mardi Himal Base Camp.

Doing the Mardi Himal Trek can be a challenge. But this doesn’t mean that you can not do it. If you like hiking and make sure you start to get fit well ahead of the start of your trek, you can definitely make it. The average Mardi Himal Trek is not difficult but hikers and trekkers should still be moderately fit. After all, you are still trekking through the Himalayas of Nepal.
