Poon Hill and Mardi Himal Trek

Description

Mardi Himal is a scenic and lesser-explored trekking route in the Annapurna region of Nepal. It is an underrated alternative to crowded popular treks and one of the most rewarding non-technical treks in Nepal. The 9-day Mardi Himal Trek is an excellent choice for trekkers seeking mountain views and authentic mountain experiences after trekking routes like Annapurna Base Camp and Poon Hill. Unlike restricted treks such as the Manaslu Circuit, solo trekkers are allowed on the Mardi Himal Trek. A licensed trekking guide is recommended but not mandatory. Trekking requires the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP), which costs NPR 3,000 for foreign nationals. Mardi Himal (4,610 meters) is the main summit and a significant attraction of the trek, offering panoramic views of the Annapurna Massif, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu. The best trekking seasons are October to November and March to May when the weather is stable, and visibility is clear.
