Accommodations
Overnight stay at guest house.
We will drive from Pokhara to Kande, enjoying the beautiful countryside and mountain views. From Kande, the trail starts. We will trek following lush hillsides and soon follow the forested route to Australian Camp. On the way, we get to see superb hills and mountain views of the Annapurna range. The trail then gradually ascends to Pothana and from here, continues to Pitam Deurali.
Trek from Pritam Deurali to Low Camp
Accommodations
Overnight stay at guest house.
We will begin the morning with a delicious breakfast and start trekking from Pitam Deurali to Low Camp. The trail heads north and enters a dense forest covered with rhododendrons and many other wildflowers. This part of the route is cold because sunlight is minimal due to the density of the forest. However, the refreshing scent of nature will rejuvenate our souls. The trail ascends to Low Camp. The landscapes are very captivating, with a close view of Mt. Fishtail.
Trek from Low Camp to High Camp
Accommodations
Overnight stay in huest house.
From the Low Camp, we will ascend to the High Camp. The trail goes through a lush forest of oak and rhododendrons. In 1 to 2 hours of trekking we will reach the Middle Camp. From here, the trail ascends to the Badal Danda. The mountain views are outstanding from here. Further, we will trek along the Mardi Himal ridge and reach High Camp for the night stay. From here, we can see stunning views of Mt. Annapurna, Mt. Fishtail, and Mt. Hiunchuli.
Trek from High Camp to Mardi Himal Base Camp and trek down to Siding (1,700 m/5,577 ft)
Accommodations
Overnight stay in guest house.
Today, we will trek to the Mardi Himal Base Camp. Leave the High Camp early in the morning. Follow a narrow, steep trail that ascends to the base camp. Upon reaching the base camp, we will get to see a breathtaking sunrise and surreal mountain vistas of Annapurna, Hiunchuli, Fishtail, Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri, and many others. After enjoying some time at the Mardi Himal Base Camp, we will follow the same trail and descend to Low Camp. It is a long descent but does not take the same time that we spent during ascending. From Low Camp, trek to Siding village. Explore the diverse culture and lifestyle of mountain people in this village.
Trek from Siding to Lumre (1,200 m/3,937 ft) and drive back to Pokhara
Accommodations
Accommodation in guest house.
It is our last day of trekking. From Siding, we will descend to Lumre, where the trek ends. The trail goes through lush forests and small settlements. From Lumre, we will use a local jeep and drive to Pokhara. The guide will drop you to the hotel. The remaining day is free in Pokhara. In the late evening, we will gather for the farewell dinner.

5.00We went on a 15 day trek from Pokhara including poon hill, annapurna base camp and Mardi Himal. Our trek was incredible. Our guide Bikram was awesome, always arranging the tea houses with the best views and going above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. He was very knowledgeable of the Annapurna region, and has lots of local friends in each stop on the trek which was lovely to be able to connect with people easily. We had a great time and would highly reccomend Bikram as a guide! We booked with couch adventure nepal for our trek. Couldn’t reccomend this experience enough!
