About The Mardi Himal Trekking
This Himal has a triangular shape and its summit forms the western lower slope of mount Machhapuchhre.The mountain possesses two peaks and thus, it is named Machhapuchhre, which in English means ‘Fish Tail’.

We start our trek through the forest and follow the route, which is steep and goes down towards the upper Mardi Khola. The white water of Mardi Khola is form by the ice and snow of Mardi Himal. This trek is not often use, as a trekking route for it is quite remote too. This expedition takes us through the warm valley and friendly villages. The trail passes through the farm and over bridges.Mardi Himal Trekking offers the opportunity to escape Nepal's tourist trails, to venture into the deep forests and roam the high alpine pastures to the base of the sacred, fluted peak of Machapuchare. The emphasis of this trek is on the forest and wilderness zones combined with an essence of exploration. We ascend through Hindu villages and pristine forests (magnolia, oak and rhododendron) to alpine campsites that afford panoramic views of the Annapurna Range. Forays to the base of Machapuchare provide a further highlight before a delightful return through Gurung villages to Pokhara. From Pokhara we fly back to Katmandu.
