The Mardi Himal Trek is a 5 days short trek near Pokhara in Nepal that takes you to Mardi Himal located beneath the formidable Mt. Machapuchhre, the fishtail mountain, in the Annapurna Conservation Area. The trek takes you on a picturesque trail through green hills, forests of oak and rhododendrons, and valleys flanked by snowcapped mountains. The trek over a high ridge with views of Annapurna range, Dhaulagiri, Mt. Machapucchre, and Manaslu stay with you all the time making it one of the many amazing highlights of this trek.
