The Mardi Himal trail offers a deeply immersive journey through both Himalayan wilderness and living culture. As you walk through moss-draped rhododendron forests and rise above the tree line, the landscape opens to jaw-dropping vistas of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, Dhaulagiri, and more—snow-capped peaks that stir both awe and silence. Each day brings sunrises and sunsets that wash the mountains in gold and fire, offering moments of breathtaking stillness. The quiet, less-trodden paths invite a sense of deep peace, far from the noise of the world. You’ll be guided by both a spiritual facilitator and a renowned mountain guide, holding space for both inner and outer exploration. Along the descent, the trail passes through traditional Gurung villages like Siding and Lwang, where you’ll witness ancestral ways of life—from churning butter by hand to preparing food over open flames. Lwang, nestled among organic tea gardens and stone-paved streets, offers a soulful closing to the journey. Throughout, you’ll experience the warmth and hospitality of the local people and walk through landscapes teeming with rare flora and wildlife—a true Himalayan sanctuary for the senses.
