Trekking to Mardi Himal is a real adventure. Situated on the lap of gigantic Mt. Fishtail and Mardi Himal, the trek takes you through the lush green forests, Gurung village, and mountain views of course. The trek to Mardi Himal Base Camp is the hidden gem in the Annapurna region of Nepal. Only a few trekkers make it to the base of the Mardi Himal and enjoy the views of mountains, and landscapes. Mardi Himal Trekking is a relatively moderate-level trekking that requires sound physical fitness.
