Overview

A hidden ridge above the Annapurnas

The Mardi Himal trek has quickly become a favourite. It climbs a ridge trail with close up, uninterrupted views of Machhapuchhre, the fishtail mountain, and Annapurna South.

It is quieter than the main Annapurna routes, short enough for a compact holiday, and delivers some of the most dramatic scenery per day anywhere in Nepal.

Trek highlights

  • Close up views of Machhapuchhre and Annapurna South
  • A quiet ridge trail away from the crowds
  • Short enough for a one week holiday
  • A great next step after Poon Hill
