Ridge walks, forest trails, and Himalayan giants, this is ABC to Mardi.

Annapurna Base Camp+ Mardi Himal Trek

Why settle for one trail when you can enjoy the best of both?

This combined trek takes you through two of the most beautiful routes in the Annapurna region. You’ll walk through peaceful rhododendron forests, traditional Gurung villages, and wide open alpine meadows, with stunning views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, and more following you the whole way.

Mardi Himal offers a quieter, off-the-beaten-path experience, while Annapurna Base Camp brings you right into the heart of the mountains, where you’ll spend a night surrounded by snow-covered giants. It’s the perfect mix of adventure, nature, and culture—ideal for those who want a little bit of everything.
