Overview
Mardi Himal Trek with Chitwan Jungle Safari (13 Days)
Destination: Nepal
Duration: 13 days
Trip Overview
The Mardi Himal is one of the most underrated destinations in the Annapurna region. While many travelers flock to the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, the Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek offers a quieter, off-the-beaten-path adventure that is equally spectacular. This trek takes you to the base of Mardi Himal at an altitude of 4500 meters, offering panoramic views of the Annapurna range including Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Lamjung Himal, Annapurna I, and Mardi Himal itself.
The trail winds through enchanting rhododendron, oak, hemlock, and maple forests, dotted with traditional tea houses and scenic farmland. This peaceful route allows you to immerse yourself in the raw beauty of the Himalayas without the crowd.
“Beauty is in the journey and satisfaction in the destination.”
“Indulge yourself in the environment filled with a rich ecosystem.”
This tour is more than just a trek—it’s a cultural and ecological experience that takes you from the snow-capped Himalayas to the lush jungles of Chitwan. Meaning “Heart of the Jungle,” Chitwan is a biodiverse paradise and one of Nepal’s most celebrated natural reserves. Recognized as a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site since 1984, Chitwan National Park is home to:
- 68 species of mammals
- 544 species of birds
- 56 species of herpetofauna
- 126 species of fish
Notable residents include the Royal Bengal Tiger, Gharial Crocodile, and One-Horned Rhinoceros, along with a host of other rare species such as the Pangolin, Wild Elephant, Golden Monitor Lizard, Bengal Florican, and Giant Hornbill. A visit to the elephant breeding center and a cultural experience with the indigenous Tharu community round out your Chitwan visit.
This combined trekking and cultural tour also explores four of Nepal’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Pashupatinath Temple, Bouddhanath Stupa, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, and Chitwan National Park. From Kathmandu’s historical charm to Mardi Himal’s pristine trails and the wild heart of Chitwan, this adventure is perfect for travelers seeking nature, culture, and tranquility.
