It takes about 8 hours to get to Pokhara by bus; there will be three stops during the scenic journey. If you do not want to go by bus, there is an option to take a 22 minutes flight to Pokhara airport. Please let us know in advance, if you opt for the flight. 

 From Pokhara we will head towards Phedi where we will start the trek. We will first trek to the Australian camp (2060m), then slightly downhill to Pothana (1950m) and the ACAP / TIMS checkpoint, then up again to Deurali (2100m). Australian camp is nice and beautiful, providing scenic views of the mountains. The camp got its name from a group of Australian students that camped in this place during their trip in 70’s. Previously the place used to have a different name, “Bhaisi Kharka”, which means buffalo grazing field. 

 From Deurali we will be walking through the forest on the ridge of the hills with the view over beautiful green landscapes on our way to Low Camp. Trail is small and quiet, you will be able to hear chirping of the birds, also monkey sightings are common. 

Sunrise and sunset views of Mount Machhapuchhre, a.k.a. Fishtail, and Mardi from Low Camp are perfect, so waking up early for sunrise would be a suggested start for this day. After a steep walk from Low Camp the trail takes us through the jungle along with occasional glimpses of Annapurna South, until we reach Rest Camp (3170m). View of the Ghandruk village in far sight is really beautiful. Once you get to the Rest Camp, the jungle trekking converts to a no-tree zone. Views of Annapurna south, Fishtail and Mardi herself are amazing.

 Open ridge with spectacular views of Machhapuchhre ahead and stunning view of the surrounding mountains like Annapurna South and Mardi herself is amazing. You may start early today, but big breakfast is on demand for today’s ascent to Mardi Himal base camp. Walking over the tree line is nice with all the flowers around and yaks passing by. Be careful walking in the steeper part; follow your guide and his instructions. Pokhara valley, Annapurna base camp, and river George seen on the way are truly mesmerizing. 

Trekking down from High Camp to Sidding is mostly downhill towards the forest. Nice forest walk and mountains peeking out time and again make today’s journey enjoyable. Chirping of birds is relaxing but keeps your eyes open for occasional animal sightings in the jungle.

 This is the last day of Mardi Himal base camp trek in Nepal. We will take jeep from Sidding village and will get to Pokhara before noon. On arrival at pokhara lake side we will check in to the hotel and do the sightseeing tour of pokhara. Pokhara is famous for cultural and anthropology tour, you will get to know about Nepal from this day tour. The tour will be guided in a private car. 

8 hours of drive to Kathmandu from Pokhara is by the highway along the riverside. We will pass by jungles and many riverside resorts. We will get to see many rafting adventure ongoing on the river which we drive by the side.
