Trip Overview

The Ghorepani-Mardi Himal Trek is a spectacular journey through the beautiful Annapurna region, offering a mix of stunning mountain views, traditional villages, and vibrant landscapes. Starting from Pokhara, the trek takes you through charming villages inhabited by the Gurung and Magar communities, where you can experience the rich culture and hospitality of the local people. As you trek through dense forests of rhododendron and oak, you’ll encounter breathtaking views of the Annapurna range, with the towering Machapuchhare (Fishtail Peak) dominating the skyline.

One of the main highlights of the trek is the climb to Ghorepani, a popular viewpoint that offers an incredible sunrise over the snow-capped peaks of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. The sight of the mountains bathed in the soft light of dawn is truly magical and is a moment you’ll remember forever. From Ghorepani, the trek continues towards Mardi Himal Base Camp, where you’ll be rewarded with close-up views of the majestic Mardi Himal and its surrounding glaciers.

As you ascend, the landscape changes dramatically, taking you from lush subtropical forests to alpine meadows, providing endless opportunities for photography and nature walks. The route also offers a unique experience of being off the beaten path, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the mountains without the crowds.

Throughout the trek, you’ll be immersed in the natural beauty of the Himalayas, from the dense forests to the panoramic mountain vistas. The Ghorepani-Mardi Himal Trek is perfect for trekkers looking for an adventure that combines stunning views, cultural exploration, and a relatively easy and rewarding trail.

Once experienced they can never be forgotten, never dismissed from memory whether ones experience of them is visiting age-old Hindu temples, Buddhist monasteries and royal palaces with amazing sculptures, paintings, legends and living rituals. Nepal is not only regarded as "Shangri-la" for adventurers but a scenic revelation and an educational in itself to all visitors. Once seen they become a part of you, habit-forming and intrusive. We have put our best effort to incorporate all cultural delights as well as natural beauty that Nepal has to offer, which you can chose depending on your time availability.

Nepal is also popular as one of the best destinations for white water rafting in the world. Cruising down rushing river of crashing waves and swirling rapids can make up excitement of a lifetime.
