Overview

The Mardi Himal Trek one of the least charted trekking trails not yet been probed to its fullest will serve you as one of the most enthralling trekking routes. As the highly trained teams of Snow Bank Adventure accompany you through this enchanting trail of the majestic Mardi Himal, it will be an extraordinary trek straight into Mother Nature’s Core.

The dreamy adventure of the Mardi Himal Trek begins as you land at the city of lakes, to Pokhara either by the enthralling flight from Kathmandu or the unwinding drive through the sweet bends of Naubise. The chilled night out at the Phewa Lake side will serve you as a warm welcome to this Heaven on Earth.

The Mardi Himal Trek starts the next day with a pleasant stroll towards the Pritam Deurali Village. The trip will be a combo bundle of the naturally diversified flora and fauna, culture and customs, and the pure wilderness of the dense alpine forests. The trek shears through the core of the tribal Gurung village with a squeeze of their tribal culture to welcome you in this trek.

Furthermore, The trail plunges towards the rest camp where there are a bunch of tea houses and hotels which are new to this trek as back in the days it would have been an outdoors trek due to the unavailability of lodges and tea houses in the trail. The dense woodland and snow-covered trails will relinquish your heart.

Following the course of the Mardi Himal Trek, you will arrive at the Mardi Himal Base Camp which immensely rewards you with the unmatchable panorama of the majestic Mardi Himal and other tall standing snow-capped Himalayas. The Mardi Himal Trek then moves to Siddim Village taken after by the town of Lowang. The concluding day of the trek at Lowang will be astonishing as you enjoy the native religious and traditional festivities as one of the natives. Lastly, you make a beeline for Pokhara to catch your flight back to Kathmandu.
