Tour Itinerary

Itineraries are customisable as per your request

The schedule below is a suggested plan and can be adjusted to suit your preferences.

Pokhara → Kalimati (by Jeep/SUV) → Low Camp

Your journey begins with an early morning pickup from Pokhara. A private jeep or SUV drives through rural villages and hillside roads to Kalimati, a shorter alternative starting point for the Mardi Himal Trek. From Kalimati, the trek starts through dense rhododendron and oak forest. The trail gradually climbs past Forest Camp before reaching Low Camp. As the forest begins to open, the first clear views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) appear along the ridge.

Low Camp → High Camp

Today’s trail follows the beautiful Mardi Himal ridge toward High Camp. The route passes through Badal Danda, famous for its cloud formations, sunrise views, and dramatic mountain scenery. The landscape changes from forest to open alpine terrain as elevation increases. From Badal Danda onward, the day, enjoy close-up views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, High Camp is the final settlement before the viewpoint and offers spectacular sunset and nighttime mountain views.

High Camp → Upper View Point → Badal Danda

The highlight day begins early in the morning, usually before sunrise. The trail above High Camp is narrow, steep, windy, and exposed, but the Himalayan panorama is unforgettable. At Upper View Point, enjoy breathtaking sunrise views over Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Mardi Himal. Strong trekkers may continue farther toward Mardi Himal Base Camp depending on weather and fitness. The evening views from Badal Danda are especially beautiful when clouds drift below the ridge.

Badal Danda → Siding - kalimati → Pokhara

The final day descends through forest trails, traditional Gurung villages, and terraced farmland toward Siding Village. This quieter descent route offers a more local cultural experience and avoids retracing the same trail. From Siding, a shared jeep or private SUV returns to Pokhara. Along the drive back, enjoy scenic countryside views and a relaxing end to the trek.
