About this experience
Mardi himal is a beautiful trek that showcases many of the Himalayan mountain peaks. It's a shorter trek, but spectacular nonetheless. It's becoming popular, but the trek isn't as populated as Annapurna Basecamp, so you will have plenty of opportunity to enjoy nature with few people around. While this trek can take 5 days, we can customize the trek to you and/or your party's needs. We want to make sure your experience in the Annapurna Conservation Area is one that you'll cherish for the rest of your life.

Mardi trek
I went on an 8 day Mardi trek with Madhav as a guide. He took care of all logistics including booking flights and bus to Pokhara, booking lodges and helped me to choose a route according to my interests. Also, Madhav was really great company and I learned a lot from him about the Nepalese culture and history. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to do a joyful and stress free trekking in Nepal.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful experience on the Mardi trek with us!! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for more adventures in Nepal! Namaste 🙏

Mardi Himal 5 days
Our trekking to Mardi Himal High camp was a great experience thanks to our guide Madhav and porter Gopal! Despite the foggy weather at the beginning, we had a nice finish at High camp with wonderful views of the high snow-capped peaks. We had lovely days and views and also tough hikes, especially on the way down. We can highly recommend Madhav and his porters.
Response from the operator: Dear all thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt of your mardi Himal trek experience with us !we are so happy that you and all your team enjoy your time with us during the trek.. we look forward to welcoming you all on another adventure soon thank you again for choosing us and sharing your positive experience. best regards Madhav

Magic time in Mardi Himal
I pass wonderfull time with Madu during the trip. He listen what you want and need, then he adapt the trek for you. He knows a lot about his culture and nature. If you want, you can try some food from the forest because he knows what is possible to eat. He always wants you feel good and he makes all the moment magic time like dancing at the top of the mountain :)))). I feel secure with him all the time, he let you alone if you want your time but he is here when you want to speak and share something. To be honest I could not imagine a better guide. I already think about the next trip with him. Madu is really generous, after the trip he invite me in his family, he has big sens of humanity. Another time : thank you ;)
Response from the operator: Dear Caroline, Thank you so much for your heartfelt review of your Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek experience with Madu! We are delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful time and that Madu could enhance your trip with his knowledge and attentiveness. Your kind words about his ability to adapt the trek to your needs, introduce you to local culture and cuisine, and create magical moments like dancing at the top of the mountain are truly appreciated. It’s great to know that you felt secure and valued your interactions with him. We are also touched by your comments about Madu’s generosity and the invitation to his family, reflecting his big sense of humanity. We strive to provide unique and memorable experiences, and feedback like yours encourages us to continue doing our best. We look forward to welcoming you on another adventure soon. Thank you again for choosing us and for sharing your positive experience! Best regards, Madhav

Magical experience
Imagine you're walking under the stars in the Himalyas. You so closed to the sky that you feel you can touch the sky, that's the feeling I had while doing the Mardi Himal Trek. Doing this trek with Madhu was just a fabulous experience. He knows where to bring you so you live a full 100% Nepalese experience. Madhu brings you to places where you will be the only tourist. Madhu knows how to listen to your needs and adapt the trek to you. You will get wonderful discussions and lot of fun with him. After 10 days in the mountains (we combined Mardi Himal and Poonhill), I didn't get enough, so I already booked my next trip with Madhu. This time, I will bring my whole family with me.
Response from the operator: Namaste Valentine!! How wonderful!!! Your poetic description captures the essence of the Mardi Himal Trek perfectly. I'm overjoyed to hear that our adventure left such a lasting impression. It was a pleasure sharing those moments with you, and I'm honored that you've chosen to trek with me again. I'm already looking forward to welcoming you and your family on the next journey. Until then, may the mountains keep calling! Warm regards, Madhu

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek (5 Days): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pokhara.
How much does Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek (5 Days) cost?
+
Prices start at $480 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pokhara usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek (5 Days) take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pokhara is not rushed.
Is Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek (5 Days) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pokhara, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek (5 Days)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek (5 Days) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek (5 Days)?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pokhara can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pokhara and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek (5 Days) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pokhara within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Pokhara?
+
On Outty we rank every Pokhara experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek 3N-4D, Annapurna Base Camp Trek -8 days, Annapurna Base Camp Treks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Pokhara?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Pokhara?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
