Mardi Himal Trek 4 Days
4 Days Mardi Himal Trek Overview

Our best tailor-made trip to Mardi Himal of the Annapurna region gives you immense opportunities to view breath-stopping views of giant Annapurna and the natural beauty of flora and fauna. Our 4-day Mardi Himal Trek itinerary leads you to the Base Camp of Mardi Himal, starting and ending your trek at Pokhara, Nepal's best tourist lake city.

We guarantee small private group departure every day for the years 2024 and 2025 from Pokhara. You may find this 4-day Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek tough and physically demanding. You will reach 4500 meters in 3 days and descend some 2500 meters in one day, so this short trek to Mardi Himal involves big ups and downs.
Which are the best months to trek to Mardi Himal?
September and October are the best months to trek to Mardi, and the second-best months are March, April, and May. If you are trekking in April, it is the best time to see the rhododendron blooming season. Autumn is the peak season and post-monsoon period, due to which the surrounding Annapurna region becomes clear because of the summer rainfall. People still trek in winter (Dec to Feb) as well, and it will be cold in higher places. Trekking in the monsoon (mid-June to August) is wet, and the view may be affected by monsoon rain. Leeches are so active in this area during the wet season.
Can I extend the trek itinerary if necessary?
If you are not sure of doing this trek just in 4 days, we are flexible to extend it by one or two days for your convenience. We also have a 6 to 7-day itinerary that allows you to walk at your own pace leisurely to enjoy the hike in nature, as maybe this is your "Once in a Lifetime Experience" mountain holiday in Nepal.
Is this trek for you, or how difficult is this trek?
Well, the Mardi Himal Trek is classified as a medium-hard trek. But regular hikers find it easy. If you follow our 4-day itinerary, you will reach high camp—the highest (3780 m / 12398 ft) place you sleep—and the next day early morning excursion to Mardi View Point at 4300 meters, so this is a fast ascend and rapid descend but a super good trip for fitter trekkers.
Caution! The route follows a narrow valley and ridge trail. Many trekkers went missing, including some Nepalese local trekkers. The trail is demanding to climb to View Point. So, it is always advised to allow a few spare days for beginner and moderate trekkers in case you can not complete it in 4 days. Nevertheless, the trail is one of the most pleasing trekking routes in Nepal.
