Mardi Himal trek is one of the unique and moderately easy trek. In the past the area was accessed by very limited group of trekkers as there were no facility of lodges and we used tents with full catering facilities. Officially the trek route was announced in the year 2012 and still remains unspoiled. The trek is not that far from Pokhara, the trail mostly stays along the ridge, which makes the gain of altitude progressive. The trek is highly diverse in terms of culture, nature and the people.
