Overview of Poonhill with Mardi Himal Trek

Poon Hill with Mardi Himal Trek is a stunning combination of two of Nepal’s most picturesque trekking routes, which offers a perfect blend of diverse landscapes, breathtaking mountain views, and rich cultural experiences. This trek takes adventurers through the lush rhododendron forests, charming Gurung and Magar villages, and high alpine terrains.

The route then winds through the dense forests before opening up to rugged alpine landscapes with spectacular close-up views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, and Mardi Himal. The trek then gradually ascends towards Mardi Himal Base Camp (4,500 m), offering a breathtaking perspective of the Himalayas from the crowds.

Trip Information

Difficulty

The Poonhill with Mardi Himal Trek is considered a moderate trek that is suitable for trekkers with a basic level of fitness and some prior hiking experience. The trek spans for about 8-12 days , covering the diverse terrain including the well-marked trails, dense forest , steep ascents, and rugged alpine landscapes. The maximum altitude reached up to 4,500m at Mardi Himal Base Camp, which requires gradual acclimatization to avoid altitude sickness. While the trek does involve technical climbing, the trekkers need to walk for like 5-6 hrs daily, with some sections being steep and challenging. The difficulty of the trek mainly arises as there will be altitude gain and as you know, the weather can be unpredictable

Landscapes

The poonhill with Mardi Himal Trek offers an extraordinary array of landscapes, taking the trekkers through the diverse and stunning terrains. The journey begins with the lush rhododendron forests, which are especially vibrant in spring, filling the air with the sweet scent of blooming flowers. As the trek ascends, the trekkers pass through the charming Gurung and Magar villages, nestled within terraced fields offering a glimpse into the rural life of the Himalayas. The landscapes then gradually transforms as the forests give the way to alpine meadows and rugged mountain trails leading to the higher altitudes, where the views become even more spectacular.

At Poon Hill (3,210m), the landscape opens up to panoramic views of the towering Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges, with peaks like Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) and Hiunchilu dominating the horizon. Continuing along the trek, the path then transitions to the Mardi Hikal trail, where trekkers encounter the remote alpine landscapes, which are marked by the dramatic cliffs , isolated valleys, and pristine untouched beauty. The Mardi Himal Base Camp (4,500m) offers a breathtaking close-up perspective of the Machhapuchhre and Annapurna South, with the rugged , snow-covered peaks creating truly awe-inspiring sights.

Altitude Sickness

Even though the Poonhill with Mardi Himal Trek is characterized as moderate trekking, trekkers should always be cognizant of altitude sickness towards the higher elevations, like the Mardi Himal Base Camp, which is located at 4,500 meters. Commonly, one would have headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and loss of appetite as symptoms of altitude sickness. To prevent such, there is a gradual ascent, keeping the body adequately hydrated, no alcohol, and listening to the body’s reaction during the entire trek. If symptoms get worse, it is important to descend immediately to a lower altitude. Most of the trekking staff and local guides have been trained to deal with altitude sickness-related health problems, while for emergencies, helicopter evacuation services are available in the vicinity.

Accommodation

Accommodation during the Poonhill with Mardi Himal Trek is mostly provided by traditional teahouses and lodges run by local Gurung and Magar families. These teahouses are simple but cozy, typically offering twin-sharing rooms with basic bedding and warm blankets. The facilities in the lower regions of the trek are relatively better, with options for hot showers and charging points, although these may come with additional charges. As you ascend to higher altitudes, however, facilities become more basic but still comfortable enough for trekkers.

Meals are served in common dining areas, often warmed by wood stoves, and include popular local and international dishes such as Dal Bhat, soups, noodles, pancakes, and tea. The genuine hospitality of the local people adds a special charm to the journey, creating a welcoming and culturally rich experience throughout the trek. Advance reservations for accommodation are recommended during busy seasons, or via a local guide, to ensure availability.

PoonHill

Poon Hill is one of the top trekking destinations in Nepal with a height of 3210 meters, offering great panoramic views of both the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. It is situated very close to Ghorepani village in the Annapurna region and is commonly focused on by trekkers wanting a quick as well as highly rewarding adventure. The key attraction of Poon Hill is the phenomenal scenery of sunrise over snow-covered peaks, right above Annapurna I, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), and Hiunchuli.

The trek is very easy, suitable for babies; it takes around 3-4 days to complete, making it exceptionally good for people that hardly have time on their hands. It leads the trekkers past some of the lovely Gurung and Magar villages, where not only do they join in a rich culture but also warm hospitality. Adventurers on this trail will also discover lush rhododendron forests, terraced fields, and beautiful valleys. So, this will be the heaven for all nature lovers and photographers too.

The period between September and November is generally the best to visit Poon Hill, as well as March to May; that is when the skies clear and the rhododendrons blossom. This trip It usually starts at Nayapul, about a short drive from Pokhara, and goes through villages such as Tikhedhunga and Ghorepani to get to this magnificent viewpoint. Poon Hill is a place for those who want to experience the fabulous mountain scenery, cultural richness, and the beautiful nature of Nepal without too much time on foot.

Mardi Himal

The Mardi Himal, apart from being 5,587 meters high, is a secluded jewel in Annapurna in the Nepalese region, which promises an equally magnificent trekking experience with fewer crowds. Trekking towards Mardi goes through green rhododendron forests, old villages, and rugged mountain landscapes and finally reaches the amazing Mardi Himal Base Camp of 4,500 m. Known to have spectacular close-up views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and also Mardi Himal itself, this trek is untouched territory as compared to the crowded Annapurna Base Camp and Poon Hill treks. This makes trekking here perfect for those who want solitude and peace in nature.

It starts from Kande or Phedi, both a short drive from Pokhara, and takes one through beautiful villages including Deurali, Forest Camp, and High Camp. The best seasons to trek Mardi Himal are autumn (September–November) and spring (March–May). During these seasons, one can enjoy clear weather and vibrant scenery. It is classified as an average trek in terms of walking, with fairly steep ascents and rocky paths. But then, standing above the clouds, surrounded by towering peaks, turns every step rewarding in itself. Its beautiful scenery, peaceful trails, and breathtaking natural beauty make this adventure an ideal option for trekkers in Nepal, looking for something different and not-so-usual.

A sacred journey to Kailash with Nature Explorer Trek Our journey to Kailash was not just a trek or a trip; it was a deeply spiritual and holy experience, and I am truly grateful to Nature Explorer Trek for making this sacred journey so memorable and comfortable. From the very beginning of the journey until the very end, the entire team was extremely supportive and helpful. A Kailash pilgrimage is not an ordinary journey—it comes with physical challenges, difficult terrain, changing weather conditions, long travel hours, and many unexpected situations. Throughout all of this, the team was there to guide, assist, and encourage us whenever needed. What impressed me the most was the way they took care of each and every aspect of the journey. Whether it was travel arrangements, accommodation, meals ( pure vegetarian), coordination, guidance, or helping us whenever we faced any difficulty, the team was always approachable

Amazing Kailash Yatra Exceptional Team – They Truly Care About Their Guests We had an incredible and unforgettable experience with the Nature Explorer Trek team in Kathmandu during our Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Our group consisted of 29 people, and throughout the journey the entire team, led by Dineshji and Deepakji, looked after us exceptionally well. At one stage, we faced an extremely difficult and potentially life-threatening situation while crossing the border. It was during moments like this that we really saw the quality of the Nature Explorer team. They remained calm, supportive and completely focused on the safety and wellbeing of everyone in our group. Even during some very challenging days, their staff were always smiling and ready to help. The food was excellent, the care was exceptional, and there was a genuine sense that they were looking after us as people, not simply as customers. What impressed us even more was how they supported us when our original return journey was disrupted due to the road and border situation. Instead of leaving us to work things out ourselves, Dineshji and his team worked continuously to find an alternative way to get our entire group home. They reorganised our return journey via Lhasa and arranged the necessary travel so that we could get back to Kathmandu and connect with our international flights. Managing alternative arrangements for a group of 29 people in such difficult circumstances was not easy, but they stayed with us and supported us throughout. For me, this is what separates a good tour company from an exceptional one. Everything can go well when conditions are normal; you really discover the quality of a team when something unexpected happens.A huge thank you to Dineshji, Deepakji and the entire Nature Explorer Trek team for your care, commitment and hospitality. You made a very challenging situation manageable and helped make our Kailash Mansarovar journey an experience we will remember for the rest of our lives. I would highly recommend Nature Explorer Trek to anyone considering this journey. With them, you don’t feel like just another customer you genuinely feel that you are being looked after like family. 🙏 Thank you to the entire team.🙏

Kailash Trek I travelled with a group of my friends for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. It was an excellent time throughout, with very helpful guidance and support all along the way. All accommodation and treatment was very good, and we were well looked after Provided food, accomodation, and travel guidance was all good and accurate. Even if you not feeling well or don’t feel like to eat the sherpas make sure you are looked after. Amazing experiences all the way through. Highly recommended. The trek is very challenging, and it would not be possible without the amazing support provided. Even during unexpected events such as the floods in Nepal, Dineshji made sure we were all safe and we reached our homes safely.

Outstanding Mount Kailash Pilgrimage Experience with 29 Amazing Travellers (Friends Who Became Family) ★★★★★ Outstanding Mount Kailash Pilgrimage Experience with 29 Amazing Travellers (Friends Who Became Family) I recently completed the Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Yatra with Nature Explore Trek, and I could not be happier with the experience. From the initial planning stages through to the completion of the sacred Kailash Parikrama, the entire journey was professionally organised and exceptionally well managed. Travelling with a group of 29 people was one of the highlights of the trip. We started as strangers, but over the course of the journey, we became a family. The friendships, support, laughter, and shared experiences created memories that will stay with me forever. The team demonstrated outstanding care, especially during the challenging high-altitude sections of the pilgrimage. They were always available to provide guidance, encouragement, and assistance whenever needed. Their experience, professionalism, and commitment to the safety and well-being of every pilgrim gave us great confidence throughout the journey. Accommodation, transportation, meals, and overall logistics were handled smoothly, allowing us to focus on the spiritual significance of the pilgrimage rather than worrying about travel arrangements. The acclimatization schedule was thoughtfully planned and helped prepare us for the challenges of high altitude. What stood out most was the genuine kindness and dedication of the guides and support staff. They treated every traveler like family and went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable, supported, and included throughout the journey. I was particularly impressed by how professionally the team handled unexpected challenges. During the Nepal flooding events that affected travel plans, the Nature Explore Trek team acted quickly and efficiently to reroute our return journey, ensuring that we arrived home on time with minimal disruption. They kept us informed throughout the process and managed a difficult situation with remarkable professionalism. Additionally, when one of our fellow group members experienced a medical emergency, the team responded promptly and compassionately. They coordinated the necessary assistance, closely monitored the situation, and provided regular updates to the group. Their calm approach and genuine concern for the individual's well being gave everyone peace of mind during a stressful time. Mount Kailash is far more than just a trekking destination. It is a life-changing spiritual journey filled with challenges, self-discovery, and blessings. I am deeply grateful to the entire Nature Explore Trek team for helping make this pilgrimage such a memorable, meaningful, and spiritually fulfilling experience. I highly, highly recommend this company to anyone considering the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra or any trekking adventure in Nepal. If Lord Shiva blesses me with another opportunity to undertake a spiritual journey in the Himalayas, I would happily travel with Nature Explore Trek again and again. They will certainly be my first choice for future trips, including the Everest Base Camp trek. Om Namah Shivaya 🙏 Highly recommended without hesitation.

Excellent! Me and my wife joined a group of 27 other friends from Australia for the much awaited Kailash Manasarovar trip through Nature Explore Trek that was led by Dinesh Ji and his team of Sherpas. Their planing and execution was impeccable. Every detail from day 1 to 15 was accounted for. Their diligence, patience and perseverance was simply extraordinary! Kailash trek is challenging for many. This would not have been possible without the support of the team that looked after us. They not only motivated us, but kept the spirit alive day in and day out. The choice of hotels, food, comfort was never compromised. They diligently checked our health, oxygen safe and advised us promptly. They were quick to identify medical deterioration in one of us and ensured they got timely medical assistance. I would highly recommend Nature Explore Trek! Kudos to Dinesh, Deepak, Chabbin, Kedar, Mohan, Tej and many other Sherpa brothers for the amazing work they do!!

Memorable Kailash Yatra An excellent experience with an amazing Sherpa team during our Kailash Yatra. Ramchandra, Deepak, Mr Bean (Chabin), Kedar, Gopal, Mohan, Ramesh, and the entire Sherpa team took exceptional care of us throughout the journey. They were hardworking, cheerful, and always there with a smile and a helping hand. The food served throughout the trip was absolutely delicious, and the Sherpas always made sure we ate well. Even when we didn’t feel like eating, they would lovingly insist and make sure we had something to eat. Their care and encouragement made them the true supporters of our Kailash Yatra. A special mention to Dineshji, our guide, who was calm, friendly, patient, and always happy to answer our questions. The Nepal China disaster occurred while we were on this trip and he ensured appropriate arrangements were made for our safe return. Thank you all for making this journey so memorable. Truly an outstanding team! 🙏

All Sherpa treated us like their family and looked after us very well. Our smallest need were looked after. We spent very memorable time with all. Our permit, China visa and all transport were well looked after. We were fed fresh vegetarian food every day and with love and smile. The Kailash journey was well supported by my Sherpa- Mr Bean, who was the team member. I would not have been able to do it without his help. Motivating me, walking with me, providing water, oxygen etc was all taken care for so that I could be connected with the environment. Our return journey needed to be adjusted for due to flood and that was well covered as per group request. We had nothing but great positive experiences every single day. With Lord Shiva’s blessing, we were connected with right tour guides who are just amazing! I would go with them without any doubt in future and highly recommend them. Thank you Dineshji, Mr Bean and all Nature Explorers tour team.
