Awesome first Trekking Experience in Nepal
5 stars for Base Camp Hike, and especially for Jayaram. This was my first trip and first hike in Nepal, and Mardi Himal did not go exactly to plan. Weather turned, and I got sick at the start of the trek. Jayaram was flexible the whole way through and rearranged things so we could still make the trek work. That made a big difference when I was already unsure how the rest of the trip would go. On the mountain, guide Nir Kumar and porter Khagendra looked after us the entire way up Mardi Himal. They were patient, steady, and genuinely took care of the group when conditions were not ideal. I honestly cannot thank them enough for how they handled it. Mardi Himal still ended up being an awesome experience. Grateful to the whole Base Camp Hike team, and already looking forward to the next trip in Nepal.
Response from the operator: Dear Zoraver 🙏 Thank you so much ❤️ for the wonderful review and for trusting Base Camp Hike with your first trekking experience in Nepal. The weather and getting sick at the beginning of the trek definitely made things more challenging. But your flexibility along with the weather improving just one day later than our original plan made the Mardi Himal Trek possible and totally worth it. Nir and Khagendra will be especially happy to hear your kind words. It means a lot to know that you felt well looked after throughout the trek. Most importantly, I’m happy that despite the unexpected challenges at the beginning of the trekking, Mardi Himal trek still became such a memorable experience for you. Thank you again for choosing us. It was wonderful having you with us and we hope to welcome you back to Nepal for another trek in the future. Best wishes, Jayaram

Mardi Himal Base Camp trek
We absolutely loved our hike with Base Camp Hike! Our porters Tek and Sabin, and guide Navaraj Nepal (Mr Nepal) were so welcoming and helpful, making us feel confident and comfortable throughout the whole trek. We did the 5 day trek to Mardi Himal base camp and the itinerary was well planned out with lovely tea houses booked for us along the way. Absolutely recommend this company for their communication and organisation leading up to the trek and for a wonderful trekking experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Rebekah 🙏 Thank you so much ♥ for your review of the 5-Day Mardi Himal Trek with Base Camp Hike. I’m really happy to hear that you all had such a great trekking experience with our team (Mr. Nepal, Tek, and Sabin). It truly means a lot to us. It was wonderful having all of you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Nepal for another trek in the future! Best Wishes, Base Camp Hike Team

ABC trekk with Base Camp Hike
It was my first time Nepal and Annapurna Base Camp experience. The operator helped alot during the initial discussion ~ 2-3 months prior. The operator was very transparent on the condition, what preparation (physical, gearwise etc) needed. The operator are very accomodating to our tailored request before during and after hike to make sure the most comfortable experience for us. The guide and porter who accompanied us were nice dudes and very encouraging while still ensuring our safety and physical condition when my friend not feeling well in the 2nd day hike prior to trekk day to ABC. In the end we did the ABC and back all healthy and safely. Was really great experience!
Response from the operator: Dear Adam 🙏 Thank you so much ♥ for sharing wonderful review. We’re really happy to hear that you felt well supported before and during the trek. Thank you once again for your trust and recommendation. We truly appreciate your trust and we hope to welcome you again on another trekking ( Langang Valley Trek ) soon. Best Wishes, Base Camp Hike Team

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mardi Himal Trek: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pokhara.
How much does Mardi Himal Trek cost?
+
Prices start at $530 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 Trek 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 Trek worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 47 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 Trek?
+
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 Trek 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 Trek?
+
Around 16 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 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 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, 4-Day Private Poon Hill Trekking Tour. 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.
What is included in Mardi Himal Trek?
+
Included: Private transportation; Other; 2 Guest = 1 Porter; Government Licensed Holder an Experienced Guide; and Lunch. Not included: Personal Trekking Euipment; Meals and Accommodation during staying in Kathmandu and Pokhara; Any kinds of battery charges, laundry service, phone calls, showers; and Tips for Guide and Porter ( Expected ).

Where is the meeting point for Mardi Himal Trek?
+
You will be picked up by your guide from your hotel in Pokhara to start the Mardi Himal Trek Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
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: 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.
