10 Days
Pokhara
Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Trekking is essentially day hiking and doesn't require any special training. However, good physical condition, a love of walking, and a desire to enjoy mountain views and village life are essential.
These treks are suitable for walkers looking for something more challenging and energetic. Hill-walking experience is desirable, with longer days and higher elevations.
Since the terrain can be hard and the days long, hikers should be in good physical condition and have previous mountain walking experience. High passes and extended trekking days may be involved.

The Mardi Himal trek and Annapurna Base Camp trek are captivating journeys within the Annapurna Conservation Area. Embarking on both treks simultaneously, within a 10-day timeframe, promises an exhilarating adventure. However, it’s important to note that these two routes offer distinct scenic experiences.
Mardi Himal Trek provides panoramic views of the entire Annapurna Himalaya range from the comfort of your balcony. Conversely, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek offers a closer view of Annapurna South, Himchuli, Fishtail, and the Annapurna peaks.
Both treks begin with a drive from Pokhara lakeside to Kande and a hike to Deurali via the Australian camp. From there, you continue to Annapurna Base Camp through the Mardi Himal Trek, concluding the adventure in Nayapul within 10 days. For those with limited time, it’s possible to undertake each trek separately, requiring 5 days for the Mardi Himal Trek and another 5 days for the base camp trek. Also, there are another 10 days of alternative trails to Annapurna Base Camp via Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek.
Mardi Himal is a relatively recent addition to the trekking scene, gaining popularity after 2010. Before that, the area was primarily used as yak and sheep pastures by local villagers. In contrast, the ABC Trek has been a favored route since the 1990s, evolving from a camping trek to an experience with modern tea houses along the way.
Comparatively, the Mardi Himal route retains a more pristine, less commercialized atmosphere. The mountains are within sight but slightly more distant. The ABC, on the other hand, is more crowded but offers intimate mountain views. Both routes, however, promise awe-inspiring Himalayan vistas. The distance between Pokhara and Annapurna Base Camp is 81.1 kilometers, while the distance from Pokhara to Mardi Himal Base Camp is 31.0 kilometers (19 miles).
The Mardi Himal trek takes you along a ridge, passing through forests and yak pastures, with Annapurna Base Camp nestled at the valley’s bottom. The Base Camp itself is a stunning bowl encircled by towering mountains and Annapurna glaciers.
Autumn (September, October, and November): This is the best trekking season when post-monsoon clarity offers exceptional visibility of the surrounding Annapurna region, making it ideal for both treks.
Choosing between the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek vs the Mardi Himal trek depends on several factors, including your trekking experience, your available time, and what kind of experience you are looking for. Here is a comparison to help you decide which might be better for you:
Both treks offer unique experiences in the Annapurna region. Choose the Mardi Himal Trek if you prefer a quieter, less crowded route with stunning ridge walks and panoramic views. Opt for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek if you seek a classic trekking experience with diverse landscapes, rich cultural encounters, and well-established trekking infrastructure.

Your guide and porter will pick you up from your hotel in Pokhara at 8:00 AM and drive for about one hour to Kande (1,770 m), the starting point of the trek. From Kande, you will hike through Australian Camp and beautiful rhododendron forests to Pitam Deurali.
The trail descends briefly and then climbs gradually through dense forest filled with rhododendron, oak, and moss-covered trees. You may catch your first close views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail).
As you ascend above the tree line, the landscape opens up to reveal spectacular views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli. The trail follows a scenic ridge to High Camp.
An early morning hike takes you to the Mardi Himal Viewpoint (4,200 m) and onward to Mardi Himal Base Camp. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Annapurna range before returning to High Camp.
Overnight: Lodge at High Camp
Descend through alpine meadows and rhododendron forests to Forest Camp, a peaceful location surrounded by dense woodland.
Overnight: Lodge at Forest Camp
Today you descend through Landruk village and continue to Jhinu Danda, where you can relax in the natural hot springs beside the Modi Khola River.

Continue past Machhapuchhre Base Camp and enter the heart of the Annapurna Sanctuary. Annapurna Base Camp offers a stunning 360-degree panorama of Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machhapuchhre.
After sunrise at Annapurna Base Camp, descend through Bamboo and Chhomrong to the peaceful village of Sinuwa.
Descend to Kyumi via Chhomrong and Jhinu Danda. From Kyumi, take a local jeep or bus back to Pokhara.
