Trip Overview

Mardi Himal Trek Information

To those who have heard the Mardi Himal Trek for the first time, they do not like to compare it with the Annapurna Circuit Trek because they know this is the best trek for the beginner, the medium, and the veteran, especially when they have a little time. Just like every big and every small trek has its beauty, Mardi Himal Trek has its own. It has the most beautiful landscapes that the trekkers most sought in their life. Whether it is the Annapurna Circuit Trek or the Mardi Himal Trek, both take place in the Annapurna Region, the second famous trekking region of Nepal, and one of the best in the world, according to the listing done by the National Geographic Magazine.

Mardi Himal Trek fulfills the wishes of the trekkers who want to walk on ridges and at an altitude of 4250m. Mardi Himal Trek is not as old as hill because it opened its door only in 2012 intending to hit bullseyes as well as with its satisfying natural beauties and shows the stunning view of Fishtail Mountain, one of the major highlights of the Annapurna Region where the trekkers also have options to do the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, the Annapurna Circuit Trek, and the Poon Hill Trek. But what makes the Mardi Himal Trek different is it is like a homestay trek to a certain extent.

Accommodation

In Kathmandu and Pokhara, you are going to stay at the 3-star category hotel (Value). During trekking, you will spend your night in a tea house. The tea house is a lodge or a guest house. The tea house is an old name for a lodge because trekkers and climbers gave this name 40 years ago. After all, it used to sell only tea then. Now they also sell meals as well as provide bedrooms for the trekkers and climbers. The old name tea house is still used by the trekking agencies in Nepal. Hence, the name tea house trek. Tea house differs from village to village where you are going to spend your night. Some have attached bathrooms as well as running a hot water facility, while others have only basic facilities, that is, you have to share a toilet and a bathroom with others. This is so because they are located at a high altitude and the remotest area. Some provide dormitory-style accommodation, but they also provide you a bed, a pillow, a blanket, and a bedsheet still, you must have your sleeping bag.
