Mardi Himal trek is a short, newly- explored trekking route in the Annapurna region. This trek would be the best option for those who are looking for an ‘off the beaten track’ trekking experience in the secluded part of the Annapurna region of Nepal. Very few trekkers make their way to the Mardi Himal Base Camp situated at the foothills of Mardi Peak and the spectacular Machapuchhre. The trail goes along small labyrinthine paths, through deep rhododendron forests until we climb out of the forest at an elevation of 3,310 m. The landscape changes quite unexpectedly into a rugged high mountain landscape, with tantalizing mountain views of Mardi Himal, Machapuchre, Hiunchuli, and Annapurna South. While trekking, we will pass through hidden valleys, terraced farms, sparkling rivers and local settlements where we will come across unique cultures and traditional way of life.

    Best trip ever

    The moment we get to the top of the mardi view point was the best part of the trek. Everyday we hustle for that moment and it was worth it. Kudos to everybody who helped me to make this trip successful and fun.

    An overall good trek, but could've been better if we stuck to the itinerary

    The trek was very-well planned and fun; with friendly guides. They were really helpful. Right from the pickup point at Pokhara to drop-off at Pokhara after the trek, the guides engaged with us in conversation and we all got to share our prior trekking experiences. Not only this, when some of us couldn't carry out bags, they helped us by carrying them. This was literally a life-saver! The weather was also super nice which enhanced the entire trekking period. However, the 4 days 3 nights trek was shortened by 1 day and we had to rush down to Pokhara from Mardi View Point, and we walked for 13 hours. It was really hectic and tiring, so that was unpleasant. Otherwise, the overall experience was good,

    Mardi Himal Trek: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

    How much does Mardi Himal Trek cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,080 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu 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 Trek take?

    +

    Plan for about 240 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 Kathmandu is not rushed.

    Is Mardi Himal Trek worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Mardi Himal Trek?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Mardi Himal Trek suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 240-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mardi Himal Trek?

    +

    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 Kathmandu 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 Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 240-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mardi Himal Trek 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 Kathmandu 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 Kathmandu?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. 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 Kathmandu?

    +

    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 Kathmandu?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Mardi Himal Trek?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Breakfast; Lunch; Use of snorkeling equipment; and Dinner. Not included: Bottled water; and Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Mardi Himal Trek include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 437 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 120 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Mardi Himal Trek offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Hindi, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Mardi Himal Trek?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Mardi Himal Trek wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Mardi Himal Trek if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
