Overview

The Mardi Himal basecamp trek is a relatively short and less crowded trekking trail of Nepal in the Annapurna trekking region. Just like every other trekking trip in Nepal this trip too does provide some of the amazingly fascinating trek trips worth remembering for a lifetime. The trip offers some of the magnificently amazing views of mountains like Mt. Annapurna range along with Mount Mchhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli. The trek usually starts from Phedi or Kande passing through several stunning and picturesque villages and hamlets, eventually leading to the beautiful Mardi Himal basecamp. The trail is one of the best choices for those who seek a less crowded trail and prefer alone time in alternative to the more popular trail in the trekking region of Annapurna while still experiencing the thrill of adventure and witnessing the breath-0taking beauty of the mountains at the same time.

Important Note

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY WHILE TRAVELING.

It's very essential to be in touch with friends' families and colleagues during the trip to provide frequent updates on travel. To do so, the supply of energy to charge the devices to do the web access is very much required, which is very much necessary to save energy.

Following are some tips to save energy:

  • For the camera, get some spare batteries.
  • A power bank with a power range of 5,000 mah to 10,000 mah.
  • The solar chargers, as well as the solar lamp, are both eco-friendly (lumin-AID lamps).
  • Using a gadget with lower brightness, GPS, and wi-fi turned off as much as possible and only using it when needed also helps save energy.
