Annapurna Machhapuchhre Trek - Less than two weeks Adventure
The Annapurna Machhapuchhre Trek (Fishtail) is called the Mardi Himal trekking. It offers an outstanding mountain profile at close range. It is less than two weeks of adventure trekking in the Annapurna region. We hike into the forests and the Himalayan settlements that have just felt the impact of tourism. There are newly open tea houses for accommodation on this trekking route. This route used to be fully camping earlier. We can complete this Mardi Himal trip in less than two weeks. Thus, this trek is suitable for those with less time and who wish to explore the off-the-beaten track in Nepal.
Mardi Himal Trekking in the Annapurna Region
We drive from Pokhara to Phedi to start this Annapurna Machhapuchhre trek. After the drive, we begin our walk on the Dhampus. We ascend through traditional settlements and pristine oak and rhododendron forests. Undoubtedly, the scenery unfolds close-up views of sacred Mt. Machapuchare and Mardi Himal. The great ice fields and the blue glaciers of the Annapurna sanctuary walls lie below us while we walk on the ridge towards the Mardi Himal.
We descend from the different routes to the warm valley on the bank of the Mardi River. Surprisingly, we were still away from the popular trekking routes on our way back to Pokhara. Thus, the Annapurna Mardi Himal trek is one of the finest short off-the-beaten tea house trek.
