Mardi Himal Trek

Day to Day Itinerary

Trip Note

Accommodation

All the accommodation as per the itinerary is included in the package cost. Halesi Treks have chosen the 2/3 star hotel in the cities for your comfort and safety. The hotels can be upgraded to more deluxe ones upon your request. While trekking in the Mountain, our guides will choose the best available lodge of the village from their past experience. As some villages have limited number of lodges, in a peak season like in Spring and Autumn. Comfortable two men tent with mattress and four seasons sleeping bag will be provided for the camping trek. Our crew will try to set the camp in a scenic place. All the hotel and camping accommodations are as per twin sharing basis unless you are of a different gender.

Meals

Nepal is such an easy place to get several vegetarian options so no worries if you are a vegetarian or non-vegetarian. You can enjoy typical Nepali food as well as continental, Italian, Indian and Tibetan. Freshly cooked and hygienic dinner and breakfast are served at the camp and lunch will be served on the way to the next destination which will be prepared by our own chef. Only breakfast is served in Kathmandu whilst farewell dinner on the eve of your international departure is served from our side. All the meals (B/L/D) are on full board basis during the trek.

Trekking Crew

An experienced and licensed Guide and necessary porters will assist you during the trek. In a group with more than 8 clients, 2 guides will be provided for the betterment in service. In a teahouse trek, generally, one porter is provided for every two clients who carry between 15 to 18 kg. However, on a camping journey, more porters are required. All the camping types of equipment such as kitchen, dining, dome and toilet tents, kitchen equipment, fuel, and all consumable goods have to be carried from Kathmandu which needs more manpower. All of our guides and porters are fully insured so you don't' have to worry about them in case of emergency. Our team believes that our customer care is the first priority.

Physical Fitness and Experience

Mardi Himal Trek is an easy trek which is fit for those who has the ability to walk 5-6 hours of walking uphill and downhill in a day carrying the personal day pack. Some days are longer with 7- 8 hours of walking as well. Mardi Himal Trek is low altitude trek which demands less physical, however having strong determination, positive vibe and average physical fitness can complete this trek. Doing some physical exercise a few weeks prior to the trip is better but technical skill is not required for this trek. If you are taking medicine for heart, lung or blood diseases, please kindly consult your doctor and inform to Halesi Treks.

Travel Insurance

This is a real adventure in high altitude so obtaining a travel insurance is always a good idea for your safety and is highly recommended too. Your travel insurance policy should cover helicopter evacuation and medical expenses in an emergency. There is not any Nepalese insurance company to sell travel insurance policy so you better buy a good one from home. There are some insurance policies which covers only in low altitude below 4000 mt. and some only in high altitude above 4000 mt. So before you purchase it, please double-check the policy what it covers and where are you going.

Best Seasons

Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) are the best months for Mardi Himal Trek. Where normally days are sunny, the temperature is perfect, the sky is clear and Mountain remains crystal. This trek can be done in Monsoon (June to August ) but you should not expect the great weather and Mountain view.  You can do it in Winter (December to February) if you are used to with extreme cold temperature.

Ground Transportation

Highway in Nepal is safe, however, sometimes transport can be halted due to landslide, strike or by political unrest. Add a cushion of a few extra days in your onward travel schedule, advised as a margin of safety for your international flight from Nepal. We, therefore, advise that you schedule at least an extra days cushion in your itinerary to avoid conflicts with international flights out of Nepal. In that case, Halesi Treks can arrange activities with your additional days in Kathmandu before your flight home.

  Mardi Himal Trek

  Rating: November 18,2018

  Our long-term plan with my wife was to visit Himalaya. I got a reference to Halesi Treks from my brother’s friends, who had experience with them. 
  
  We started talking with Man Kumar Tamang one year in advance. Man Kumar was very communicative and help us to choose the right trek for us based on our expectation. Backward I can confirm, that it was a really good choice. We preferred trek, which is not so popular and frequently visits, but still, you have a chance to see the biggest mountains (we know, we do not want visit EBC in High season). Our choice was Mardi Himal Trek in Annapurna Conservation Area. An advantage of this trek is that the trail is up on the ridge compare to ABC which leads the valley and at that time is overcrowded.
  
  After landing in Kathmandu Man Kumar personally invited us together with our Guide Tek Tamang. After two days spent in Kathmandu, we moved to Pokhara and our trek starts. We spent a beautiful 10 days in the mountains with sunny weather and breathtaking views. 
  The whole time our Guide Tek Tamang took care about us and provided us with perfect service. It was a really nice holiday with Halesi Treks. We can strongly recommend this company.

  It was my second time to trek with Halesi trek. Halesi trek also supported really impressive experience this time again. The founder of Halesi trek, Man Kumar Tamang, is a very sincere and dedicated person. And also the crews of Halesi trek are trained and skillful guides. They are knowledgeable about the trekker's safety in the mountain area. If you want to have good experiences in Himalaya, it will be the best choice that you trek with Halesi Treks.
