Weather Information

Spring (March–May) Spring is one of the best times to trek Mardi Himal. Days are mild and pleasant (~10–20 °C at lower elevations), nights remain cool, and the famous rhododendron forests are in full bloom. Skies are mostly clear, offering great mountain views. Summer / Monsoon (June–August) Monsoon brings frequent rain, humid conditions, and muddy trails. Temperatures are warmer (~15–25 °C), but clouds often hide the mountain views. The region becomes lush and green, but trekking can be slippery and challenging. Autumn (September–November) Autumn is the prime trekking season with stable, dry weather, comfortable daytime temperatures (~12–22 °C), and excellent visibility of the Annapurna and Machhapuchhre peaks. Clear skies and crisp air make this season ideal for photographers and trekkers alike. Winter (December–February) Winter brings cold and dry conditions with snow possible at higher camps. Daytime temperatures are cool (often 5–10 °C), and nights can drop well below freezing above ~3,500 m. Trails are quieter and peaceful but require warm clothing and experience with snowy terrain.

Essential Information

When you go on the Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek, get ready to be enchanted by the wonderful scenery of Mardi Himal, the stunning Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), and a side of the Annapurna range that is not often seen. Trekking enthusiasts regard the Annapurna range as a hidden gem, and it is gaining attention and popularity for its combination of a modestly challenging trek with incredibly peaceful surroundings and stunning views. Although still relatively short in terms of trekking duration, the Mardi Himal trek stands out. The Mardi Himal trek out of the Annapurna base camps is at an altitude of around 4,500 meters. It is located east of the more popular Annapurna Base Camp trek and will be an exclusive experience for trekkers. It provides in a stunning view of the fully snow-capped Annapurna range, to the shoulders the green rolling vegetation, and the clear, pristine forests.
