Mardi Himal Trekking
This Annapurna route is perhaps the least visited trekking area in Nepal. The Mardi Himal Trekking route consists of a trail that mostly goes along the top ridges of hills occasionally passing through villages and dense rhododendron forests leading to the Mardi Himal Base Camp at the elevation of 4300 meters. Mardi Himal stands next to the holy Mount Fish Tail displaying its superb look. Mardi Himal Trekking is definitely the destination for those who would like to experience the beauty of solitary peaks as highlights of trekking in Nepal Annapurna.
