The Mardi Himal trek is a highly recommended trekking route in the Annapurna Himalayan region. It is located east of the Modi river, across the valley from Himchuli. The Spectacular trek takes you off the beaten track, away from busy trails and has the essence of exploration and adventure. This stunningly beautiful trek through ancient rhododendron forests, high ridges and traditional Gurung villages is a trip of a lifetime. This trek offer spectacular views of Machcapuchare, Annapurna Range, Lamjung Himal and Dhaulagiri. This trek is suitable for the moderately fit.
An hour drive takes us to the starting point: the small village of Kande. Then 2 hours steep climb to our first destination, Australian Camp (2000 m) where we arrive by early afternoon for lunch. A 2hrs gentle walk from Dhampus, Pothana reach to Pitam Deurali (2100m).
Today is steady gentle climbing with only small sections in isolated parts. After an hour walk we stop for a short tea break at rest camp to enjoy the fishtail view. Gentle walk through the forest take us to Low Camp where we can have lunch. After lunch we can walk 2 hours further steep up take us to our destination Badal Danda (3200m). Where we can view close view of Fishtail, Hinchuli, and Annapurna South and also this place is famous for sunrise and sunset.
Today we make our way to the highest camping point on the ridge (3900 m). We leave the forest behind and reach the meadows with grazing sheep. Again the views are breathtaking as we can see the widespread Gurung villages and follow the trail up to Annapurna Base Camp.
In the morning we climb to the highest point of our trek (4200 m) – the crest of Mardi Himal. The great ice fields and the blue glaciers of the Sanctuary Wall lie below and we are encircled by a dozen or more glistening mountain giants. We descend to Lower Camp again after lunch as this part of the mountains doesn’t invite an overnight stay
