After you have all the formalities at TIA, a Himalayan Hope Treks correspondent will be on hand to ride you to your selected accommodation in the capital. No activities are planned for today so you can engage in free walks nearby. In the evening, our guide and you will be familiar with each other and he will tell you all about the Mardi Himal trek itinerary.

A tourist bus in the early morning will transfer us along the long Prithvi Highway through Trishuli, and Bandipur to Pokhara. An evening will be free for your chosen activities such as the Phewa Lake tour, boat ride, or small walks on the shore.

Early morning, we will embark on a short drive up to Kande from Pokhara and start walking to reach Pritam Deurali by the late afternoon. A carved stone track along the Goldanda Hill will guide us to Thulo Kharka/Australian Camp (2055 m).

After spending a few breathtaking moments with the Annapurna range, Himchuli, Lamjung, and Fishtail, we will continue downward through Pothana (1890 m) to Pritam Deurali.

After Pritam Deurali, our path will undulate along the hill and drop down to Tolka, Landruk, and Ghandruk Villages. These are some of the mountain villages dominated primarily by the Gurung community.

The path will now slightly increase upward along another ridge till we are at Forest Camp. Here, the tea houses are simple but clean with the beauty made by Annapurna II, Annapurna South, and Fishtail.

The trail from Forest Camp will be at first quite steep but it soon becomes comfortable and pleasing once on the ridge. In between a rest camp will offer us a bit of refreshing coolness.

At Low Camp, we will find traditionally furnished lodges with the occasional glimpses of Annapurna II.

The trail from Low Camp will go through the thick jungle for about an hour after which we will be on the open ridge of Deurali giving us the fabulous sightings of Fishtail, Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli.

The vast land of Chhomrong and Ghandruk can also be seen. The track now along the hill twists through the Middle Camp, Nange Danda and Badal Danda before we are at High Camp. Straight in front of us will be the Singu Chuli and Gangapurna Peaks staring at us from the distance.

We need to get up very early before the sun does as the longest and fatiguing day of our Mardi Himal trek is on our door step. The walk upward towards the camp will need patience and perseverance.

En route, we will pass through various viewpoints and admire the trail to the Annapurna Base Camp as well. Once we find ourselves in the snowy terrain of the Mardi Himal Base Camp, the sensational snow giants of Tent Peak, Mardi Himal, Singu Chuli, Annapurna I, and South, Machhapuchhre, Baraha Shikhar (Mount Fang), and Himchuli will just make our hard labor worth taking.

Afterward, we will continue to walking back down through the High Camp and Middle Camp for the night at Low Camp.

The trail towards Siding after Low Camp will drop steeply down through the dark thick forest. A four-hour downward journey will finally take us to the motorable road beside Siding from where the jeep will ride us back towards Pokhara.

We will once again get in a tourist bus to travel along the Prithvi Highway past through Bandipur and Trishuli to reach Kathmandu. That’s it, the Mardi Himal trek is now concluded and you are now free to enjoy your evening the way you like.

You will reach your sweet home today as we tailor your TIA drop-off in a private transfer.
