Description
Situated in the southern reaches of the stunning Annapurna Region, the Mardi Himal Trek is a hidden gem in Nepal!
The trekking route was only recently opened and provides holiday goers who do not have a whole lot of time to spend in the country with the opportunity to see some of Nepal's incredible landscapes and get some phenomenal views of iconic Himalayan peaks too.
Over the course of the 10-day journey, trekkers will arrive in Kathmandu before transferring to the idyllic lakeside city of Pokhara and embarking on their wilderness adventure.
In the Annapurna Conservation Area, trekkers will hike through thick forests composed of oak, maple and rhododendron trees, before ascending above the tree line and continuing over grassy ridges and through rolling pastures.
The highlight of the trip is when the trekkers arrive at the Upper Viewpoint at 4200 meters. Here, they will get to enjoy panoramic views that lookout over Mardi Himal (5587m), Annapurna I (8091m), Annapurna South (7219m), Hiunchuli (6441m), Baraha Shikhar (Mt. Fang) (7647m), Tent Peak (5695m), Singhachuli (6501m), Machapuchhre (6993m).
From here, trekkers will begin the descent and pass through a traditional village – where they will get the chance to meet the people and learn about their culture – before returning to Pokhara and then Kathmandu.

What people are saying about Explore-Share
Man
Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!
Maxine
Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
