Mardi Himal Trekking

The flight to Pokhara, often known as the "City of Lakes," takes around 25 minutes. The Himalayas, including Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Machhapuchhre, and the five peaks of Annapurna, may be seen beautifully from the city. Since Pokhara is a popular tourist destination as well, we take a break in the evening. 

We begin our trip with a drive to Kade and begin trekking from there after an early-morning meal. Before arriving at Potana, where we have lunch, we travel up stone steps, through towns and woodlands, terraced farms, and hamlets. We keep going till we reach Deurali, a little settlement that is charmingly perched on a ridge and has great views of the Annapurna South, Mardi Himal, and Macchhapuchhare.

Red rhododendrons are scattered throughout the verdant forest where our trail winds. It comes as no surprise that Nepal's national flower is one that is frequently seen in the country's highlands. Up until we arrive at the camp's clearing, our walk is incredibly peaceful. Spend the night in Forest Camp.

After eating lunch at Low Camp, we continue walking through thick forests while observing Nepal's diverse wildlife till we arrive at the Badal Danda. The breathtaking view of Mt. Machapuchhre (Mt. Fishtail) up the valley is breathtaking from here. We can observe the native way of life for a while in the evening.

We ascend a ridge while walking in the direction of Mardi Himal and Machhapuchhre. The area is largely made up of shrubs with a few lone rhododendron bushes along the trail as the tree lines start to become thinner. On our way to high camp, we could perhaps be fortunate enough to see the Daphne pheasant, Nepal's national bird. Our final stop for the day is the high camp, which we reach via ascending. Beautiful mountain vistas may be seen from here.

We climb and descend on our walk to the base camp, sometimes on a narrow, steep trail. We walk along a short rise and across pastures on our trail before arriving at the Upper Viewpoint. Amazing views of the Himalayas may be seen from this location. Mardi Himal (5587 m), Annapurna I (8091 m), Annapurna South (7219 m), Hiunchuli (6441 m), Baraha Shikhar (Mt. Fang) (7647 m), Tent Peak (5695 m), Singhachuli (6501 m), Machapuchhre (6993 m), and other mountains are seen.

Instead of returning to Mardi Himal from high camp, we choose an alternate path that leads us to Sidhing. Our walk is more fascinating because of the alternative route, which enables us to experience something new. Trekkers can enjoy a peaceful stay in Siddhing because it is hidden from the busy trails.

After a leisurely breakfast, we make our way towards Lumre until we come to the road where we start the drive to Pokhara. We keep driving to our accommodation after arriving in the city. Visit Pokhara and spend the night there.
