Annapurna Base Camp and Mardi Himal Trek Overview:
Get ready for an exciting 13-day adventure trek to the Annapurna region with Nepal Pyramids Trekking and Climbing. The combination of Annapurna Base Camp and Mardi Himal Trek provides you with the best of the Himalayas vistas and a remarkable trekking experience.
This beautiful trek will give you a lifetime opportunity to enjoy two famous routes of Mardi Himal and Poon Hill in one epic trip. This beautifully combined Annapurna Base Camp and Mardi Himal Trek takes you to the two most enchanting valleys under the shadow of holy Machapuchhare (Fishtail). Both the valleys have their own unique features that offer you a diverse trekking experience.
First, we will trek to Annapurna Base Camp surrounded by tall, beautiful mountains covered in snow. This trail to ABC is world-famous, pretty crowded, and is a popular highlight for hikers. Then, we will head off to the newly opened, less-trodden paths of the Mardi. Here you can admire stunning views of Holy Machhapuchhre that dominate the entire valley. This fishtail-style summit peak looks more like a Matterhorn in the Alps and due to its summit shape it is nicknamed "Fishtail Peak."
Our journey will be full of cultural experiences and natural beauty. We will visit and walk past the traditional Gurung villages and learn about their rustic ways of life. You will see Himalayan flowers and plants along the trails through deep forests and meadows. At the Annapurna Base Camp, we will be amazed by the 360° mountain view that envelops the entire Base Camp.
We will relax our tired muscles in Jhinu Danda's natural hot springs before heading out to Mardi Himal's base camp as our grand finale. At the Mardi Himal Base camp which is at a height of 4500 meters / 14,763 feet, we sit under the holy shadow of Fishtail Peak. The peaceful environment, the experience of solitude, and the divine presence of Holy Mt. Machapurchhare will surely be an unforgettable moment.
You will finish this once-in-a-lifetime, magical adventure among the Himalayan heights with memories to last forever. Join Nepal Pyramids Trekking and Climbing and challenge yourself on our special trek to two iconic base camps in one journey.
