Out of the many trekking options offered by the Annapurna region in Nepal, one that has been in the limelight recently is Mardi Himal trek. This trek takes you to the base camp (4,500m) of Mardi Himal - a 5,587m peak that lies beneath Machhapuchhre (66993m), separated by a 5200 m col.
Located south-east of the Annapurna Base Camp, the Mardi Himal trekking trail starts from Kande, which is an-hour-drive north-west of the city of Pokhara. The trail is divided into 6 sections - Kande to Pitam Deurali, Pitam Deurali to Forest Camp, Forest Camp to Badal Danda, Badal Danda to High Camp, High Camp to Base Camp and back to High Camp and High Camp to Siding. From Kande to Pitam Deurali, the trail goes through small settlements, mostly inhabited by the Gurung (ethnic group in Nepal) people, giving you insights into their lifestyle and culture. From Pitam Deurali to Badal Danda, the trail mostly goes through the dense forest of Rhododendron, Oak, Birch and Hemlock, presenting you the magnificent views of Machhapuchhre, Mardi and Annapurna South towards the end. From Badal Danda, all the way up to Base Camp, you will be hiking above treeline and mostly on an exposed ridgeline, but you will be rewarded with magical views of Annapurna South, Tent Peak, Gangapurna, Hiunchuli, Machhapuchhre, Mardi Himal, Annapurna I and Lamjung Himal. After four and a half days of mostly uphill and occasional downhill hike the trek culminates at the base camp of Mardi Himal. The remaining one and a half days will bring you to the vehicle station (Siding), from where you will catch a vehicle back to Pokhara.
