Experience of Mardi Himal Trek,Nepal

Nischal Bhandari,Nepal

After Dashain, we set up a plan to go to Mardi Trek.We were 16 college friends.We all distributed our roles to prepare for trek and finally left to trip on Oct. 7,2023.

On day one, We started our journey from pokhara to Pothana. We hired a jeep that took around 2 hours to reach there .Then we took breakfast at the Pothana hotel .Around 9 o’clock we started our journey to lower camp which was our first rest point on day one.We took our first lunch at forest camp at 2 o’clock then moved to lower base camp.

On day two, we took our breakfast at hotel Samjhana and moved to our next destination high camp which took around 5 to 6 hours walking. The weather condition was extremely bad and changing time and again which made our trek even more difficult.Around 5 o’clock we reached our hotel and took our dinner.

On day three,it was one of the best days where we were going to watch the great Himalayas and the beautiful sunrise seeing from the machaphure peak . To see this awesome beauty, we woke up at 2 o’clock and moved to Mardi view point which was about 2 hours of walking.From the view camp, we took lots of photos and enjoyed the stunning view of mountains. In the view camp there was no hotel but you can enjoy the hot tea enjoying the view.

After that we moved back to our hotel in high camp where we had our lunch and moved to Sidhing for our next stay. It was about 5 to 6 hours of walking from the high camp. You can even rent horses and donkeys for your loads if you feel difficulty while walking.Around 7 o’clock we reached Sidhing and enjoyed the delicious meal and the fire camp.

On day 4 we booked a jeep from Sidhing to Pokhara.Finally on day four, our trek ended with beautiful memories. I am thankful to all friends who shared a good time with me. Its worth going and breathe long there.
