Nepal is a small & beautiful landlocked (by India & China)
country. Nepal is one of the popular destinations for trekking in the
world; among them Mardi Himal trek is one of popular trekking. This
Mardi Himal Trekking is one of the striking and fascinating, interesting
treks in Nepal .Mardi Himal is the name given to the feature of the
long rising ridge and its summit that from the southwesterly lower slope
of Mount Machhapuchhre, the famous triangular skyline that is seen from
the Phewa Lake at Pokhara. As we shall soon see from a closer and more
westerly vantage point, the mountain hold win peak - thus its name,
Machhapuchhre, which is English, means "Fish tail". Machhapuchhre
is the most southerly high point of the Annapurna Massif, the awesomely
majestic grouping of mountains in the central Himalaya that includes
5 of the 12 highest mountains in the world - all at close of very close
quarters to our route.
This trek proffer a prospect to discover traditional villages, incredible
scenery, infinite and diversity of culture, spectacular views of livery
mountains and tempting views of River and you can see the exotic valley
on the way of trekking trail. The emphasis of the treks is on the forest
and wilderness zone of these mountains. This trek takes you in to one
of the most untouched areas of Himalayas. Some villages are visited
on the last days of the trek and these receive few visitors and regain
much of their traditional charm.This trail is totally non touristic
and some time difficult to find the way. You can see watchful eyes of
Shepherd. Mardi Himal treks takes away from the tea houses trails and
takes you through a forests and villages.
An eight-day hiking through the forest and on above the tree line and
on up to from our high altitude camp at 4,100 m. from where there are
the most amazing close quarter's views of all.
Now descending first through the forest, a different route takes us
steeply down to the upper Mardi Khola, the torrent that has been the
ice and the snow of the Mardi Himal. Although remote and still away
from all the much-used trekking routes, our expedition now takes on
the moods of the warm valleys and the friendly villages. Here, as we
make our way along the bank of the Mardi Khola from the hill- side village
of siding, down through the lovely fields, past the simple farms and
over the "interesting" bridges, there is no doubt this indeed
the idyllic Nepali countryside.
