Mardi Himal Trek 7 Days

Upon your arrival, a representative from Manaslu Adventure Treks will warmly welcome you at the airport with a flower garland and ensure a smooth transfer to your designated hotel in the city. Once you check in and settle, the representative will provide a detailed program briefing, including an overview of your upcoming trip. Also, any necessary documentation will be reviewed and finalized to ensure everything is in order.

If time permits, you can explore the local area on a short walk. This will allow you to acclimatize to the environment and enjoy the surroundings. The day concludes with a special welcome dinner hosted at a local restaurant, where you can enjoy authentic Nepalese cuisine and get acquainted with fellow travelers and the Manaslu Adventure Treks team.

After an early morning breakfast, you will be transferred to Kathmandu Airport, Domestic Terminal, and take a flight to Pokhara. Then, a private vehicle will drive you to Kande, where your trek starts. The trail goes gradually uphill to Pothana (1890m). Pothana offers very aesthetic views of various mountains. Finally, you trek slowly to Pitam Deurali, where you stay overnight.

After breakfast at Deurali, you will turn to the right and gradually walk to Forest Camp. The trail is through the jungle, and it ascends to the top of a ridge. There is a section just over halfway where the trail heads towards declivity, and then slowly gains elevation and then back onto the ridge and into Forest Camp.

From the Forest Camp, you trek to Low Camp for 3 hours. The trail still leads through the jungle, but the trees soon start to get tiny. Hence, you feel that you are already at a high elevation.

After about one hour’s walk from Low Camp, you will reach an open space with spectacular views of Machhapuchhre ahead and Annapurna South to your left. Then you continue your trek towards the High Camp, where the tree lines fade and you can see short rhododendron bushes.

From High Camp, it is possible to continue trekking along the ridge for another 4 to 4.30 hours to Mardi Himal Base Camp (4500m) and return to High Camp in around 3 hours. Mardi Himal Base Camp offers a grand vista of slow-clad peaks and beautiful landscapes in perfect tranquillity.

You can choose to trek down to Siding Village or Kalimati. From there, you can drive back to Pokhara via a private vehicle. At night, you can enjoy the glittering lights of the bars and restaurants in Pokhara and have a final gaze of Phewa Lake and the Annapurna Mountain Range. Stay overnight in Pokhara.

You will have an early morning flight or drive back to Kathmandu. Due to the weather conditions, we may have to wait at the airport. Upon reaching Kathmandu, you will be transferred to your hotel. Arriving in Kathmandu may feel like a cultural shift after spending days in the mountains. The remaining part of the day is free in Kathmandu allowing you to

relax, explore the city, or do some last-minute shopping. The day concludes with a farewell dinner at a local Nepali restaurant and travel arrangements to your destination.

On the final day of your journey, a special Trip Conclude Ceremony will be organized by Manaslu Adventure treks. During this heartfelt event, the team will express gratitude for your participation and acknowledge the memorable experiences shared throughout the adventure. Also, the clients are free to provide feedback, which is valuable for the team to understand your experience and gather insights to improve future trips. As a token of appreciation, a souvenir will be presented to you, symbolizing the lasting memories of your adventure and deep connection to Nepal’s culture and natural beauty.

The day concludes with a final goodbye and transfer arrangements to your onward destination, whether to the airport or your next journey within Nepal. The team will ensure your departure is smooth and filled with warm wishes for future travels.
