Mardi Himal Trek – A Short and Stunning Himalayan Escape
If you're seeking a short yet breathtaking trek in the heart of the Himalayas, the Mardi Himal Trek is your perfect escape. With Kora Quest Adventure, this journey begins with a scenic 20-minute flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara, where the snowcapped peaks of the Annapurna Range greet you even before your boots hit the trail.
Nestled quietly beneath the striking Machapuchare (Fishtail Mountain), the Mardi Himal route is a hidden gem—less crowded, incredibly peaceful, and filled with natural beauty. The trek takes you through lush rhododendron forests, charming hilltop villages, and up to stunning alpine ridgelines with panoramic views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machapuchare.
As you ascend from Phedi or Kande, each day offers new perspectives—vibrant forests give way to open skies and dramatic cliffs. By the time you reach High Camp and finally Mardi Himal Viewpoint, you're standing on a natural balcony with the Annapurna massif unfolding in front of you, close enough to feel the silence of the peaks.
Though the trek is relatively short—usually 5 to 7 days—it offers the full Himalayan experience: raw beauty, cultural encounters, and moments of deep connection with nature. You’ll meet warm-hearted locals, stay in cozy tea houses, and experience the spiritual calm that only the mountains can offer.
The Mardi Himal Trek is perfect for trekkers with limited time or those looking for a quieter alternative to the more popular Annapurna routes. It’s a trail that delivers big rewards with less physical strain, making it ideal for both beginners and seasoned hikers.
At Kora Quest Adventure, we provide expert guidance, thoughtful itineraries, and local insight to make your journey safe, memorable, and soul-stirring.
