A moderate, less-crowded trek beneath Machhapuchhre
Mardi Himal Private Trek
A configurable private trek to the Mardi Himal viewpoint, a quieter alternative to the classic Annapurna routes.
Who this suits
Reasonably fit travellers who want a genuine multi-day trek with a dramatic mountain payoff, on a route that sees noticeably fewer trekkers than Poon Hill or Annapurna Base Camp.
