Here are some key points about the Mardi Himal Trekking: Duration: The trek typically takes around 5 to 7 days, depending on the starting and ending points, as well as your pace. It’s a shorter trek compared to some of the longer ones in the region, making it suitable for trekkers with limited time. Difficulty: The Mardi Himal Trek is considered to be of moderate difficulty. While it’s not as challenging as some of the more strenuous treks in Nepal, it still involves some steep ascents and descents, as well as a variety of terrain. Highlights: Scenic Views: The trek offers breathtaking views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges, as well as the stunning landscapes of the region. Cultural Experience: You’ll have the opportunity to interact with local communities, including the Gurung people, and experience their unique culture and way of life.
