MARDI HIMAL TREKKING
‘adventure around the high scenic ridges to other sanctuary at Mardi Himal’
Mardi Himal Trekking takes you on the high ridges in the close shade of massif Annapurna Himalaya. This special region was hidden for long decades, where early pioneers and explorers named the area an ‘Other Sanctuary’. Due to its proximity to Annapurna Sanctuary, separated by the deep gorge of the Modi River.
For many years, Mardi Himal was unknown, unmapped it was taken as the broken ridges of staggering Machhapuchare Himal. When western mountaineers flew close to Mt. Machhapuchare the famous Fish Tail, then they found Mardi Himal as a separate peak. Located, close to the southern flank of the great Machhapuchare Himal looks like an adjoining peak of Fish Tail. The Mardi Himal stands at 5,587 m / 18,325 feet high, on NMA (Nepal Mountaineering Association) list of trekking peaks. 
A few groups of adventurers and trekkers often venture for the climb to the summit of Mardi Himal. The closest that one can reach next to Machhapuchare Himal, which is a virgin and forbidden peak to climb.    
At present, in the past few decades, the areas around Mardi Himal are gaining much popular among trekkers. As this region is quite different from other main trekking routes, where one can enjoy being close to the massif Himalayas; in a short distance of time. 
Haven Holidays Nepal, welcomes all adventures and trekkers to enjoy this short and wonderful trek to Mardi Himal. A moderate to adventurous walk with a touch of high altitude, suitable for all from beginners to veteran outdoor lovers.
Mardi Himal Trek starts and concludes at Pokhara, a city blessed with natural wonders of serene lakes and the mighty Himalayas. The adventure takes you from low warm farm villages toward high cooler hills and beyond human settlements.
The trail diverts from the main trekking routes towards sheer wilderness, as the walk follows through enchanting rhododendron and pine forest. Slowly the tree lines disappear reaching higher terrain at Mardi scenic View-Point, on the highest spot of the adventure.
Enjoy the marvelous and enjoyable moment, standing close beneath Mardi Himal and giant Machhapuchare Himal, the magnificent Fish-Tail peak.
The return journey leads on an alternative route downhill to low warmer farm villages for a short exciting drive back to Pokhara. After a great adventure and memorable experience on the Mardi Himal Trek with the grand service of Haven Holidays Nepal.

A Hidden Gem: Mardi Himal with Haven Holidays !

I recently done the Mardi Himal Trek with Haven Holidays Trekking company, and it was an experience that exceeded all expectations. This lesser-known trail offers stunning panoramic views of the Annapurna range, including the majestic Fishtail peak, without the crowds of more popular routes. Haven Holidays provided impeccable service from start to finish. Our guide, Bharat was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the region. He shared fascinating insights into the local culture, flora, and fauna. The accommodations were comfortable, and the food was delicious, especially considering the remote location. The trek itself was challenging but rewarding. The gradual ascent allowed us to acclimatize comfortably, and the well-maintained trails were a pleasure to hike. The highlight was undoubtedly the breathtaking view from Mardi Himal Base Camp. It was truly a sight to behold! I would highly recommend the Mardi Himal Trek with Haven Holidays to anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable trekking experience in Nepal.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do we need Travel and Medical Insurance?


    
It is very important and necessary that all trekkers requires Travel and Medical Insurance. Which should be purchased after or before booking the respective trekking programs with Haven Holidays Nepal. The insurance should be made in your own home countries, which is much easier than in Nepal.

    The travel and medical insurance should cover all needful transportation required on emergency evacuation by any means of transportation and using helicopter service. As well all medical expenses, if the trip is delayed and get cancelled due to political disturbance and strikes. As well if the trek needs to be rerouted to other areas in some cases due to bad weather and road conditions.
