This trip will take around five days and is approximately 40 kilometers long. It will begin in Pokhara and end there as well.

Mardi Himal Base Camp is accessible due in part to its proximity to Pokhara. Pokhara is Nepal’s second-largest city, which has its international airport. The fact that this journey is all about the ridge is one of the reasons you should choose to go on it. The ridgeline is incredible. It is a must-do for those who select an adventure based on the type of views they expect.

Not to mention how wonderful it feels to be free and as though you are in the mountains. Make the view up-close pictures of Machapuchare Peak.

In the morning, you will need to walk most of the time. , you experience these long, dull days when the clouds roll in.

Accommodations and Meals

Like an Everest base camp or an Annapurna base camp, the food and lodging are similar. The guest home offers cozy beds with blankets. You will eat food in their restaurants and serve various tasty hot meals.

Like any other trip in Nepal, lodging is inexpensive on the Mardi Himal trek. , but you must dine at your guesthouse twice daily, often for breakfast and dinner. The local community’s primary source of revenue is food.

There are a few campsites at lower elevations. Trekkers can camp or stay in Forest Camp and Low Camp guest rooms. It’s not a cost-saving choice because you spend the same whether you camp out or stay in a hotel room.

The guesthouses are very typical; they have small rooms with beds. A bathroom with a shower outside and dining space. More shared than private lodgings, such as 4-6 people rooms, are available on this route. In lower altitudes, guest houses have more facilities. You may have a private room with electricity and power outlets, such as Landruk or Siding.

Dal Bhat is inexpensive, and may meet you during a hike. In a similar vein, soups are an excellent choice for the starter. You can get different flavors because they sure have your trekking equipment list.

Yet, there aren’t any shops where you can buy clothing or supplies. You’ll thus be in trouble if you forget something or something breaks.

Culture and religion

The most conspicuous aspect of this journey may be the absence of the region and culture. If you enjoy getting to know the locals and discovering their culture, you might skip this step.

Nothing was ever too much to ask for. When we needed one, our driver became like a friend for two weeks—a friendly face in a sea of humanity. Our Mardi Himal trek was incredible due to the efforts of Phurba.

He looked after us like family, and we never had to worry about anything. His choice of teahouses for us was exceptional upon completing our adventure to Nepal.

There is nothing I can find that I would have changed in my choices offered up by Puru. A three-night stay in Chitwan National Park was relaxing. It was the finale of our lifetime trip—hats off to Puru and his team.

What we enjoyed about working with Puru was his excellent Mardi Himal Trek. The timely responses to our questions and the ease in booking our trip. When we arrived, all the necessary details from beginning to end.

Our guide Basu was always concerned with our happiness. He is always worried about our safety. Our porter Murari worked to get our belongings from one teahouse to the next. Both guys always smiled and ensured the Mardi Himal trek went off without a hitch.

They pick us up from the Airport and take us to our hotel. They handle all our permits. Our guide took care of food/lodging/transportation were all handled. All we had to do was enjoy our trek, the wonderful people of Nepal, and the sights to discover.

Please do not hesitate to contact Puru and establish a program that works for you. He guided us on the best trek and made the necessary recommendations based on our wishes. We went there to celebrate my 60th birthday and the goal of trekking the Himalayas.

We would encourage you to spend your dollars with the company. They are appreciative of your business. We felt so good knowing that our dollars were going into our things. For all those, we came in contact with and not for unnecessary expenses.

I’m happy to answer any other questions and hope this review is helpful.

Nepal is a beautiful country

I can recommend Above the Himalayan Trekking to anybody if you want to organize the Mardi Himal trekking holiday in Nepal. Puru couldn’t be more helpful, and the guides and porters he provided for us were nothing short of incredible!

We had a slight hiccup with a flight from Pokhara (due to the weather ). Puru was behind the scenes organizing alternatives. He arranged it before we had even had a chance to contact him.

Above the Himalaya Mardi Himal Base camp trek 12 days
Star Star Star Star Star

We have reruns from Nepal after our Mardi Himal Trek. It was a trip designed by “Above the Himalayan Trekking.” Initially, Puru, the Owner, and his team were professional and friendly since we were complete “newbies” to Nepal travel.

We relied on their advice, and Puru (Owner) kept in contact, asking how we were getting along. The guides both in Katmandu and the Himalayas were prompt and courteous. On the trek, we felt safe with Sitaram (direction) and Naren (porter), but some trails can be challenging.

They kept us informed and comfortable on our journey up the mountain. Azay guided and mentored us through Katmandu’s spiritual sites. They handle everything for us. We had prompt drivers to take us everywhere, all coordinated by Puru.

Even before the trip ended, I considered another journey with this company. They are trying hard to make Nepal an excellent adventure place. We were in Hotels for three nights in both Katmandu and Pokhara.

The hotels were charming, with a typical breakfast buffet. The Tea Houses are what you hear, a little primitive, a little comfortable, but man! You are glad to be sleeping there at night.

We did a 7-day Mardi Himal Base Camp trek, a Katmandu city tour. The entire journey beginning to end, comfortable was “sensory overload.” I knew it would be different, but at every turn of our trip, we were experiencing something new. We saw Nepal’s unique, beautiful, raw, and spiritual sides.

If you are adventurous, open-minded, curious, and mindful, you will have a great time in Nepal. They are an excellent choice for your travels for your Mardi Himal Trek.

We are a group of eight friends traveling together for five years. We trekked in the Alps, Carpathians, Pamirs, and Caucasus mountains.

This Mardi Himal trek was among the best of our tour of the organization, with amiable staff and good food.

We recommend Puru and his agency for travelers who want to go to Nepali Himalayas.
