Mardi Himal Base camp
The recently opened Mardi Himal trek is still relatively undiscovered, captivating its early explorers with an authentic spirit and pristine beauty. This spectacular and peaceful trek in the Annapurna region offers an accessible adventure for those seeking a genuine Himalayan experience.
(not)Retreat in the Himalayas
Le Treat's popular (not)Retreats are breaking new ground with their first overseas trek in the Himalayas. We've selected a comfortable yet awe-inspiring route, perfect for those new to high-altitude trekking.
Trek’s features
Beginner-friendly
Mardi Himal is accessible to everyone, including beginners and first-timers to the Himalayas. The route includes scheduled acclimatization and rest periods, ensuring a comfortable trekking experience.
Accessible
Short and comfortable hikes make acclimatization easy. Unlike the neighboring Annapurna Base Camp trek, there are no exhausting stairs here, and the daily challenges will be more enjoyable than exhausting.
Moderately High
The highest point of the route is at 4,550 m (Mardi Himal Base Camp), with an overnight stay at 3,550 m (High Camp). This altitude is both accessible and comfortable, particularly for those experiencing high-altitude trekking for the first time.
Uncrowded
This route, having been opened recently, remains relatively uncrowded, attracting an average of 7,000 to 10,000 visitors per year. In contrast, Annapurna Base Camp sees up to 40,000 visitors annually, and Everest Base Camp up to 50,000.
Sleeping in lodges and nutritious food
Each night, we stay in mountain lodges, where you'll sleep on beds in either single or double rooms. Facilities include phone charging, and you can enjoy a shower, or at least a bucket shower. In the common areas, you'll be served simple, nutritious meals and hot tea by the wood stove
Includes porter service
A team of porters will accompany us on the trek, carrying the majority of our gear between lodging points. We will only need to carry small, lightweight backpacks with daily essentials.
