The Mardi Himal trek is a comparatively new trail lying in the isolated section of the Annapurna region. Lying almost 20 km northwest of Pokhara, the trek offers the up-close views of Machhapuchhre Peak (6997m) and Annapurna I (8091m). Mardi Himal Trek takes you all the way to Mardi Himal Base Camp through lush Bamboo and Rhododendron forests inside Annapurna Conservation Area. The trek is an easy journey that is relatively pristine and lesser crowded compared to the nearby Annapurna Base Camp and Ghorepani Poonhill treks.
