The Mardi Himal trek is growing its popularity in the recent days as the trail is new compared to the other destinations in the region. Trekking starts from the subtropical lush forest hosting the perennial rivers and waterfalls and goes all the way to high rugged mountain trails. The Mardi Himal trekking is pristine and the place provides the experience of nature in its original form, so the journey can be considered as the sweet escape into the nature. From the high camp, the sunrise and sunset view cutting through the majestic mountains is absolutely astonishing.

Camping our night in the Base Camp, we decent through Sidhing-Lawang trail to reach the beautiful city of Pokhara.
