Poon Hill Mardi Himal Trek - 12 Days

Combine a trip to Mardi Himal Base Camp and Ghorepani Poon Hill

The Mardi Himal Trek via Poon Hill will be the most appropriate for you if you are looking for an easy to moderate difficulty level trek in the Annapurna area of Nepal. Two locations, Poon Hill and Mardi Base Camp offer the best opportunities for seeing the top of the snow-capped mountain. This trip is an excellent substitute for the congested hikes to Annapurna Base Camp since it gives you breathtaking Himalayan vistas in a short period.

Spectacular views of some of the world's highest mountains, including Annapurna South, Macchapucchre, Himalchuli, and others, are available from Ghorepani Poon Hill with Mardi Himal Trek. Similar to this, the route passes through great villages with friendly locals and excellent common sceneries. This hike combines elements of two hikes. You will finish the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek first, and then you will move on to the Mardi Himal Trek. One of the most well-known treks in the Annapurna region is Poon Hill Trek, whereas Mardi Trek is a recently launched trek in a less visited and off-the-beaten-path location.

After taking a tourist bus from Kathmandu to Pokhara, the Mardi Himal Trek via Poon Hill begins. You will arrive in Birethanti, the starting site of the major trek, after traveling from Pokhara for around an hour and fifteen minutes. The journey begins by passing past terraced farms that are brimming with paddy and mustard. Ulleri is reached after passing through the Magar and Gurung settlements of Hile and Tikhedhunga. The next day, you will trek through a rhododendron forest and via the picturesque village of Banthanti to get to Ghorepani. You will leave Ghorepani early in the morning to go to Poon Hill to see the stunning sunrise over Machhapuchhre and the adjacent mountain ranges. After seeing a breathtaking sunrise at Poon Hill, you will make the trip down to Ghorepani for breakfast.

After breakfast, your adventure will continue via Tadapani, Ghandruk, and Landruk before beginning your second trek, the Mardi Himal Trek, in Landruk. From Landruk, proceed toward Low Camp through Forest Camp and a lovely rhododendron, pine, and oak forest. The next morning, you will leave for High Camp after spending the night at Low Camp. The next day, you will depart from High Camp and travel to Mardi Base Camp without your backpack. You will then climb down from Mardi Himal Base Camp to Badal Danda and ultimately to Siding. To go to Pokhara from Siding, you'll use a shared vehicle. The opportunity to boat on Phewa Lake will let you explore some of Pokhara's most beautiful areas. Your 12 Days Mardi Himal Poon Hill Trek will then conclude as you ride a tourist bus back to Kathmandu.
