Mardi Himal Trek Information: |
|
An untouched
and hidden mountain tourism destination of Nepal. Mardi
Himal, at the height of 4600 meters, This spectacular
non touristy area camping trek to Machapuchare (6,993m)
follows one of the least trekked routes in the Annapurna
region. It is a remote trek at moderate altitudes
through pristine forests and delightful gurung villages
that takes you further and higher into the mountains
than on our Foothills of Nepal trek. Nepal Visitors
trekking and walking recently promoting this area. From
Pokhara we ascend through luxuriant forests of Oak,
Magnolia and Rhododendron gaining tantalizing views of
Machapuchare and the Annapurnas. The forest abounds with
bird life, while the bubbling streams and grassy
campsites complete the tranquil setting. From our alpine
camps we gain uninterrupted views of Machapuchare. Its
sacred, fluted peak looms high above us while the
Annapurna range provides a distinctive and spectacular
panorama. Trekking higher we enter a rugged world of
huge cliffs and tumbling glaciers fed by the snowy
flanks of Machapuchare.
On our return we descend through seldom visited Gurung
villages, following ever more delightful trails to
Pokhara and our flight/ Drive back to Kathmandu. Mardi
himal trek offers the opportunity to escape Nepal’s
tourist trails to venture into the deep forests and roam
the high alpine pastures that flank the Annapurna range.
The emphasis of the trek is on the forest and wilderness
zone of these mountains. Some villages are visited on
the last days of the trek and these receive few visitors
and retain much of their traditional charm. There is an
essence of exploration on this trek. The trails we
follow are not well used and sometimes hard to identify.
Sometimes shepherds and pilgrims pass by. The
Machapuchare trek is designed to provide outstanding
mountain views, and to get away from the tea-house
trails and into the forests and villages that have not
felt the impact of tourism. |
