Trip Facts

Duration : 10 days and 12 days

Difficulty Level : 2

Group Size : 2 to 12 people

Maximum Altitude : 4150 m

The Annapurna Sanctuary and Mardi Himal are 2 short and easy treks.

At the beginning of the Mardi Himal trek, we cross villages with houses with thatched roofs. The path is well marked along the fields and then the following days we see the first impressive mountains. In spring it is the season of pink rhododendrons. Slowly we get closer to the famous Machhapuchhre as it is shaped like as fishtail hence its name “Matcha” (fish) in Nepal.

At the end of the trek in the village of Lwang, there is a cooperative that makes a green tea that we will visit.

Mardi Himal is a beautiful trek well suited for those who have a short stay in Nepal. The fields of crops, the beautiful forests and the mountains of the Annapurna range will be unforgettable memories.

For the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek, the arrival at ABC (Annapurna Base Camp) is a magical and gigantic place with views across the entire southern face of Annapurna. This trek in the spring is the opportunity to observe a trail of flowers and rhododendrons red and pink along the way.
