About the Mardi Peak

Mardi Peak is located just east of one of the most legendary trekking destination of Nepal, the Annapurna Base Camp trek. Mardi peak is still an unseen gem. Few trekkers make their way to the Mardi Himal Base Camp outstandingly positioned at the base of Mardi Himal and the Annapurna region´s most iconic mount Machapuchre literally meaning “Fishtail”. The trail goes along small winding paths, through enchanted rhododendron forests until you climb out of the forest at an elevation around 3,300 meters. The landscape changes quite abruptly into a rugged high mountain landscape, with amazing views of  Machapuchre, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli

DAY 1 | Arrival In Kathmandu And Rest At The Hotel (1400 M)

Upon your arrival, one of our representatives will be waiting for you at the airport. After completing official formalities at the airport terminal, you will be transferred to the hotel booked for you. You can relax and go sightseeing around Thamel in the evening.

After early morning breakfast at the hotel, we will take a cozy Tourist bus to Pokhara. If you wish to take a flight, we can organize the flight for an additional cost. The trip by road is exciting as we move along the Trishuli river where numerous rafts can be seen during peak season. After a drive of about 6 hours, we will finally reach Pokhara and check-in at our hotel. You are free to explore the Lakeside and nearby places in the evening. 

From the beautiful city of Pokhara, we drive to Kande, the starting point of our trek. We then start our trek until we reach Australian Camp for lunch. After spending some good time, we will descend to Pitham and rest overnight at a lodge. The total trek hours is about 4-5 hours on this day. 

The trek from Deurali to Forest Camp gives the feel of being in the wild as we leave the villages behind and trek on quiet, undisturbed trails. We move through the dense forests watching the vistas of the Himalayas that tend to move alongside us. After walking for about 6-7 hours, we finally reach Forest Camp where we will spend our night.

After breakfast at Forest Camp, we head towards Badal Danda. As the name implies, we will approach the “cloud forest” with mosses, tree ferns, orchids, and lichens. The panoramic views of Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Mt. Machhapuchhre, and the Modi Khola Valley leading up to the Annapurna Sanctuary are just wonderful. After a hike of 4-5 hours, we finally reach Badal Danda, where we will have lunch and rest for the day. 

The initial trail from Badal Danda is a steep climb that takes us out of the forest and leads to a grassy ridge until we reach High Camp at 3540 m. As it is only a 4 hours hike, we reach High Camp by early afternoon. We adore the beauty of Annapurna and Machhapuchhre that reside right in front of us. Rest overnight in a lodge.

On this day, we wake up for a fulfilling breakfast and head up towards the Upper View Point, Mardi Himal Base Camp. Under favorable weather, we will be able to witness the classic panoramic vistas of Annapurna, Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, and Ganesh Himal as well. The glaciers of Annapurna Sanctuary can be seen below. After some time of relaxation and admiration of views, we will descend back to high camp and further to Badal Danda to rest overnight.

We start early at Badal Danda and descend to Siding Village. Walking past the dense forests of Rhododendron, Pine, and Oaks, we slowly start leaving the mountains behind and approach the picturesque villages with terraced farmlands. After lunch at Siding Village, we further head towards Lumre and take a private jeep to drive to Pokhara. We will relax at the hotel in Pokhara.

From the beautiful city Pokhara, we take the tourist bus back to Kathmandu. Driving on the winding roads, we finally reach Kathmandu where you will be transferred to the hotel to rest. We will meet at the farewell dinner in a typical Nepali restaurant.

Thanking you for the wonderful trip, one of our representatives will drop you off at the airport 3 hours prior to your scheduled departure.
