Trek from Pokhara through rhododendron forest, villages, and high alpine trails to Mardi Himal Viewpoint at about 4,200 meters. A private English or Hindi-speaking guide leads the four-day route, with guides such as Kaji, Ramit, Prabit, and Lalit praised for careful pacing and altitude checks. Expect tea houses, early starts, stairs, and spectacular Fishtail views.

“Mardi Himal hike has beautiful views, many steps and a mix between rainforest and mountain ranges. We were delighted to see yaks, donkeys, horses and experience the Nepalese mountain culture. Be prepared for leeches and mosquito's in the rainforest areas. We chose to do the trek in 4 days, without realising that it is usually spread accross 5 or 6 days. This meant that we were arriving at the tea houses quite late, and spending more hours than advertised hiking. We had a misunderstanding that each tea house room charge was included in the booking price, so make sure you bring enoug money to cover this and well as food.…”
