Overview of Mardi Himal Short Trek – 6 Days
Some areas of the earth continue to be obscured by well-known ones, but once they receive light, they steal it all. One recent journey that has had a lot of visitors is the Mardi Himal journey. In the Annapurna range, there is one spectacular peak called Mardi Peak (5,587m) that is located beneath Mt. Machapuchare (Fishtail). Additionally, this walk, which extends to Mardi Base Camp, is known as the Mardi Himal walk.
Mardi Himal Trek, which began in 2012 AD, lasts 6 to 8 days, depending on the schedule. Its short route has contributed to its strong popularity in the hiking community. Every year, more hikers are coming to this particular route. On Mardi Himal Trek’s less-traveled trails, people come to explore and hike. The spectacular mountain views, charming villages, and ever-green hiking routes that make up this trek are its main draws.
One of the shortest treks in Nepal is the Mardi Himal Trek of 6 days. You have the advantage of planning such little visits at any time of the year. The fear of the weather decreases with distance traveled, and vice versa. To experience the best, this expedition must be planned for the right time of year. Autumn and spring, which are often referred to as the peak trekking seasons, are the two ideal times or seasons for a Mardi Himal trip.
