Located at the base of the Mt. Machhapuchhre and Mardi Himal, Mardi Himal Trek is like no others. With the rocky terrain to the beautiful grasslands and the lush rhododendron forest, the amount of nature one can grace on this journey is immense. Also hailed as one of the most beautiful treks in all of the Eastern Himalayan region, Mardi Himal Trek has been increasingly popular. The landscape changes quite abruptly into a rugged high mountain landscape, with amazing views of Mardi Himal, Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli.
The best month to travel would be March to May, and September to November. Rainy season is not recommended due to the difficulty in traversing due to slippery roads, and leeches.
