About this trip

 

The Mardi Himal Trek is relatively short but incredibly scenic in the Annapurna region of Nepal. It offers stunning views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges, as well as an opportunity to experience local culture and hospitality. While the standard duration for the Mardi Himal Trek is usually around 5-7 days, a 5-day itinerary would be quite tight and physically demanding, as the trek involves ascending to higher altitudes. Here's a rough outline of a 5-day 

Please note that this itinerary is quite ambitious for a 5-day trek, especially considering the altitude gain. Altitude sickness can be a serious concern, and it's important to acclimatize properly to minimize the risks. 

It's recommended to have some prior trekking experience and a good level of fitness if you're planning to complete the Mardi Himal Trek in 5 days.

Always check the latest information, trail conditions, and weather forecasts before embarking on any trek. It's also a good idea to go with a reputable trekking agency and hire an experienced guide to ensure your safety and make the most of your trekking experience.

I booked a 10 days Annapurna base camp trek with Everest trekking routes and I’m so glad I did it! This has certainly been a lifetime experience. although the trek is moderate it presents some challenges for beginner trekkers like me, but my guide Bale was amazing, he was very patient, helpful and skilled. He was always there for me, I’m really grateful for him. Thanks to Rabin also for making this trip possible. Highly recommended! The views are absolutely stunning.

My guide was good, supportive and helped me to get me down the snow part of 5000 meter mountain which felt slippery.

What a breathtaking and amazing trip! We highly recommend this less travelled route. As you hike closer to the Himalayans every day, the views become more and more stunning. The villages and tea houses are cute and authentic, the beds are comfy (no air mattresses needed). Don’t expect high standard though! Rabin and his team are amazing! So warm, helpful and continuously making sure to meet your needs. There was not a single thing Rabin could not manage. We even met him personally in Kathmandu before the trek. He answered every single question beforehand via WhatsApp and even during the trek he was available. The guide and porter (Torje 1 and 2) were wonderful people. We had a blast, playing cards together at night, talking and hiking an extra day to the Tibetan border for acclimatization. I would always do it again ❤️ Note: If you don’t book the full package, make sure to bring enough cash. That means: 40.000 NPR for the 12 days. Paying accommodation and food by yourself is much cheaper than booking the full package. So if you don’t bother to simply pay yourself in the tea houses every day, that’s an option to save some money.

We have booked the Langtang 7 days trek We had a group of two, my son and me. After checking several sites, we thought that Everest Trekking Routes would meet our requirement at most. We booked it directly and came in touch with Rabin Gurung, owner. First through mail and soon via whatsapp. As we were quite new to trekkings, we had a lot of questions, Rabin answered very clearly and quickly. Communication was very good. After booking the tour, Rabin suggested us to stay at Kathmandu Suite Home, close to Thamel area. This was an excellent choice, quiet and good service. During the tour everything was taken care of by Rabin, from transport from the airport to the Hotel and backwards and everything around the trekking. The trekking itself was a lifetime experience. We had a great guide, Sandesh, who was looking after us, laughing with us, playing cards with us. Great guy. And we had a porter, Uncle. He is very stromg. We felt a little awkward that he was carrying our 13kgs bag, but this was not a problem for him, since he used to carry bags of over 30kgs. Me and my son had an unforgettable experience. I Would recommend everybody to book your next trekking with Everest Trekking Routes. You can find the route that best suites you as they have a lot of choice. Thanks again Rabin, Sandesh and Uncle

Suk was the best trek guide, ever! I had so much fun and saw amazing views. He helped me with my bag and was accommodating in any way I needed. Please do yourself a favor and book with Everest Trekking!! I’m already planning another Himalaya trek for next year and will definitely be using their service. 😁 10/10 would book again. Thanks so much!!

I can’t recommend Everest Trekking Routes highly enough. Rabin was the best. Very responsive to our queries and helpful at all times. Our guide, Veer, was so respectful and kind. He has a gentle spirit and a lovely smile. Always there for us. Our Porter, Micheal, was so strong and carried such big loads for us. They are a family business and their close relationships were evident. It was lovely to see. The trek itself was unbelievable. Incredible scenery, lovely people, lots of good food, and comfortable lodgings. The walks are quite tough but at a slow pace, quite ok for us two girls in our late 50s 😊 Thanks to you all, from Sonya (U.K.) and Tracey (Australia)
