The Mardi Himal Trek begins in Kathmandu, Nepal’s vibrant capital, rich in history and culture also known as the City of Temples, Kathmandu has been a key center for trade, art, and spirituality for centuries.

Prithvi Highway runs alongside the Trishuli River which is a famous spot for rafting. Along the way, you will pass through picturesque towns like Mugling which is the highway junction connecting major regions of Nepal and you will also pass Damauli which is a quiet town near the Seti River. As you approach Pokhara “City of Lakes”, the sight of Mt. Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Peak) and the Annapurna range signals the start of your trekking adventure.
The highest point of the Mardi Himal Trek is Mardi Himal Base Camp, standing at 4,500 meters (14,764 feet). This altitude offers panoramic views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli, which makes the Mardi Himal Base camp the best viewpoints in the region.
