10-Day Private Mardi Himal Trek from Kathmandu
Overview
Available languages
240 hours
Mobile ticket
Mardi Himal Trek route starts from the foothills of Annapurna. It takes you along the high ridges to Mardi Himal from where one can witness some fantastic views of mountains like Annapurna Himal, Dhaulagiri Himal, Manaslu Himal, and Dhaulagiri Himal with other adjacent peaks in the regions.
Mardi Trek by Heaven Himalaya is one of the easiest and best short treks in Nepal. But in terms of natural glory, Mardi Himal is nothing less than any other treks in the Annapurna region. Besides, the trekking courses are unspoiled and full of surprises on the way. As the Mardi Himal trekking trails go around the Mardi Himal, we need not repeat the same route in the whole trekking journey, so you don't feel traveling on the same route twice.
Heaven Himalaya takes you through various ethnic villages inhabited by people from a different ethnic group. It’s truly an insightful phenomenon to interact with locals and get to know more about their cultures, custom, festivals, lifestyle, and practices.

Truly Exceptional Trekking Experience with Heaven Himalayas

5.00I rarely write public reviews, but our experience with Heaven Himalayas was so exceptional that I felt compelled to share it. My husband, 19-year-old daughter, and I recently travelled to Nepal and completed the Annapurna Base Camp Circuit trek — our first trek and first time in Nepal. After doing extensive research comparing itineraries, inclusions, and costs, we chose Heaven Himalayas — and we’re so glad we did. From the very beginning, Ram was incredibly patient and responsive, answering all my pre-trip questions (and there were many!) about everything from sleeping bags and e-sims to mosquito spray. When we arrived in Nepal, Ram personally greeted us at the airport and provided a thorough trek briefing. We were then introduced to our guide, Shankar, whose professionalism and warmth immediately put us at ease. He helped us catch an earlier flight to Pokhara, sorted all logistics smoothly, and introduced us to Porzo, our wonderful porter. Throughout the trek, Shankar and Porzo took exceptional care of us. We always felt safe, supported, and comfortable to go at our own pace. Shankar handled everything — organising meals, giving us daily tips on what to expect and what to wear, and sharing his deep knowledge of the region and its culture. He’s a sincere, kind and genuine person. Porzo was also amazing; he made my family feel safe and looked after. He was always smiling, there to help and has a lovely presence. This trip was incredibly special for our family. If you’re considering trekking in Nepal, I wholeheartedly recommend getting in touch with Heaven Himalayas. Ram and his team are professional, knowledgable, responsive, flexible, and genuinely dedicated to making your experience unforgettable.
Amazing experience thanks to our wonderful guide

5.00This is the first time I visited Nepal, and the entire experience was perfect! Our guide Dipak made sure we were comfortable, safe, and had fun throughout the trek. On top of that, he even showed us some local sights in Pokhara which were some real hidden gems. He knew all the best spots to see the various peaks of the Annapurna range, and the best timings to see them. From the organisers’ side, both Ram and Sanjib were very helpful in coordinating this package for us, and the price was very reasonable. Will definitely book again with Heaven Himalaya :)

5.00I did ABC trek with them. It was a outstanding experience. We only had 12 days so we customizrd their 14 days trip to make a 12 day trek to Annapurna. The company had everything organized very carefully and the trip was very well executed. Ram, the guide, was very helpful throughout the whole trek. Thank you Ram.
Excellent experience and spot on service

5.00It's a beautiful trek in the Annapurna range. From the start, our experience with the team was wonderful. They were very communicative and addressed all our queries. They also provided some extra gears which were very helpful. During the trek, the porters and guides were extraordinary. They were very flexible about the trails. We even walked to the villages that were not included in our itinerary. We even made some Nepali friends from the villages. Thanks for the great experience team. These guys are exceptional, I recommend every to try while booking Nepal holidays.

5.00It’s been a wonderful journey to Nepal with Heaven Himalaya. Nepal is very beautiful. Most importantly, the locals were very welcoming and hospitable. Our guides, porter, and the entire team did a great job. At the base camp, we had difficulty in breathing and had a little sign of Altitude sickness. But, the guide handled it so well. Thanks to him. I will definitely return and trek with Heaven Himalaya again. Thank you for the beautiful memories.
Great Mardi Himal Trek

5.00We love this trekking trail. It is an easy trekking for beginners like me and my mom who rarely hike. Despite its highest point at 4,500m, we managed to complete this trekking without much difficulties. The trail is not crowded (which is why we have chosen it). It offers the best view of Fish Tail and the Annapurna mountain range. Our guide and porters are lovely people. They are so professional and have sincerely taken good care of us throughout the journey by checking our oxygen level and health condition. Will give 100% recommendation for Heaven Himalaya!
