There are very treks in Nepal which are almost favorite for all the time for all kinds of travelers. You must have heard Ghorepani Poonhill trek which is one of the most famous treks in the Annapurna region for a long time and still it's the best short trek in Nepal. After Poonhill another beautiful trek is Mardi Himal which becomes the most popular trek for those people who wanted to see a completely different taste in a short time period. We don't need to explain more about the Poon hill Trek where we have plenty of information and trek videos on our YouTube channel.If you are fresh and have no idea the views and the trek routes in Nepal then you must understand that all the trekking routes in the Annapurna region sound like the same but actually has different views. As we mentioned Ghorepani is the best viewpoint in lower elevation which is the first part of this Ghorepani Mardi Himal Trek plan. The view from Poonhill is beautiful and panoramic than the Mardi Himal viewpoint. The trekking trail to Mardi Himal via Ghorepani covers more villages such as Ulleri, Ghorepani itself and the biggest Gurung village in Ghandruk. 

Mardi Himal is a popular short trek in Nepal and also the Rugged Trails Nepal bestselling treks in Annapurna Region. it takes you nose to nose with the Mt Fishtail, Mt. Annapurna South, Heuchuli. The vegetation and the landscape of this trek is another beautiful part that we cannot see in the Ghorepani trek trail. Another fun part of this trek is to see the Yaks which is rare to see the yaks in a short time period. The trails itself a peaceful through the forest, grassland, and above the clouds with beautiful views of Himalayas.

                          rating

                          It was my first time in Nepal and I arrived as a solo traveler. My experience with Adventure Himalayan Travels & Trek was wonderful. Rana, the managing director, was responsive to my questions and smoothly organized all the logistics. For a guide, I highly recommend Tenzie Sherpa. My tour ended up being just myself and Tenzie, and he was an incredible guide. I found it very easy to communicate with him and conversations flowed with ease. He was very knowledgable about the region and it was also an eye-opening experience to learn about his customs and cultural background. Overall, I loved my time completing the Poon Hill Trek and I do hope to return to Nepal in the near future to explore other treks.
