Mardi Himal Trek: A Breathtaking Himalayan Adventure to Mardi Himal Base Camp with Stunning Annapurna Views
Set your foot on this incredible Himalayan trekking adventure and experience the nature and mountains at their best. This is the best trekking adventure to see the close-up panorama of the Annapurna range. You trek right to the foot of Mt. Fishtail, which stands at 6,993 meters above sea level. Although you stand at the base of Mardi Himal (5,587m), Mt. Fishtail impressively stands tall just behind Mardi.
The Mardi Himal Trek route to the Mardi Himal Base Camp (4,500m) is full of lush forest below 3,000m and grassy slopes at the higher elevation. The initial part of the trek gives a beautiful cultural trekking experience, and slowly it enters the lush forest, bringing you closer to nature. You will have a beautiful experience of culture, nature and the Himalayan view. You can behold the spectacular Annapurna range as you traverse the trail. The final exposure to the close-up Himalayan panorama and sunrise from the viewpoint is simply indescribable. When you reach the base camp, you can see Machhapuchhre Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp tucked much lower in the Himalayan gorge.
Taking this trip is to opt for one of the best adventure experiences that you will ever have in your life. You will fall in love with the trip once you undertake and go on the journey.
