Itinerary

Begin your adventure with a short drive to Kande. Trek through lush forests and terraced fields to reach Australian Camp, a beautiful spot offering panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.

Leave Australian Camp behind and follow a tranquil trail through dense rhododendron and oak forests. As you ascend, enjoy the peace of nature and occasional glimpses of snow-capped peaks before reaching Forest Camp for an overnight stay.

The trail continues uphill, and the forest gradually gives way to open landscapes. Arrive at Low Camp, where stunning views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) begin to dominate the horizon.

A steeper climb takes you to High Camp, the gateway to Mardi Himal Base Camp. The trail offers mesmerizing views of the surrounding peaks, and the ridge walk is a highlight of the day. Enjoy a stunning sunset from this vantage point.

An early morning hike to Mardi Himal Base Camp rewards you with close-up views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machhapuchhre. The trail is challenging but rewarding, offering one of the most pristine Himalayan experiences. Return to High Camp for the night.

Descend through charming villages, passing terraced farms and traditional homes, to reach Siding Village. From here, a drive back to Pokhara concludes your adventure.
