Mardi Himal is situated in heart of central north of Nepal in Annapurna range. The trek takes you through thick rhododendron forests and unspoiled terrain up to 4800m within few days walk on the ridge running down from the Machhapuchare Peak (6993m).
From the base camp itinerary goes down back into the valley through forests with fantastic landscape, villages inhabited by Gurung, Brahmins and Tamang to the Pokhara valley. This is an easily accessible wilderness trek and appropriate for an average walk 5/6 hours a day.
This is a remote and unfrequented area, and so we only could do in tent with autonomous way.
