Mardi Himal Trek
Overview
The Mardi Himal Trek is a relatively newly opened hiking trail off the beaten track. The hiking area is located south of the Annapurna region and is a hidden jewel. It is one of the most remarkable and beautiful tours in Nepal, leading through incredible scenery and offering the chance to get to know traditional Gurung villages and their inhabitants. Along the route there are several spectacular viewpoints with incredible panoramic views of the mountains. Despite its proximity to Pokhara, Mardi Himal is a hiking route that is only rarely visited by hikers. This trekking tour is ideal for those who want to avoid the big crowds on the popular routes.
