Mardi Himal, Annapurna Region, Nepal

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Mardi Himal is a peak in the Annapurna region of northern Nepal, rising to 5,587 metres in the Himalayas. The Mardi Himal Trek is a relatively new and less-crowded trail compared to classic Annapurna routes, offering stunning close-up views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli. The trek passes through rhododendron and oak forests, high-altitude ridgelines, and remote teahouse villages, making it a favourite among trekkers seeking a quieter alternative to the Annapurna Base Camp trail. It's well-suited to independent trekkers and small groups looking for raw Himalayan scenery without the crowds.

Mardi Himal Trek — 5 Days Self-Launched from Pokhara

A self-launched version of Eco Holidays Nepal's 5-day Mardi Himal group trek. Same route and same teahouses — Kande to Australian Camp, Pothana, Forest Camp, High Camp, Mardi Himal Base Camp (4,500m) and down via Pothana and Dhampus to Phedi — but booked independently: you buy your own ACAP permit and TIMS card in Pokhara, take a local bus or shared jeep to Kande, and walk village-to-village staying in the same family-run teahouses the group tours use. The trail is well marked, widely walked by independent trekkers and easy to follow; the main things to arrange yourself are permits, transport to the trailhead and a rough daily plan. Costs below are rough estimates for one person sharing a twin teahouse room and eating dal bhat plus a hot drink or two a day.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Mardi Himal, Annapurna Region, Nepal yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
