Mardi Himal Trekking starts from Deurali in Pokhara and passes through romantic villages, terraced fields and through dense rhododendron, pine and orchid forests. The woods here are pristine and unspoiled. The inhabitants of this region are mainly Gurung ethnic community who have their own unique culture. The trek soon leads you from tropical wilderness to alpine high pastures.
From the base of Mardi Himal, one can easily see the Mardi peak standing right next to Macchapuchre or Mt. Fishtail. Other mountains that can be seen up close during this trek are Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Manaslu ranges, particularly the Annapurna South (7219m) and Hiunchuli (6441m).
The best seasons to do Mardi Himal Trek are either during Spring or Autumn. Plenty of lodges and guesthouses are available along this route.
