If you do not use pre-paid services included in the itinerary (accommodation, sightseeing, meals, transport, and similar), no refund or reuse is offered for the unused portion. Refund conditions may be updated at the company's discretion. The company may cancel a trip before it is guaranteed to run or before an official agreement is signed. A trip is guaranteed once two travellers have paid in full unless a different minimum is stated for that departure. Circumstances such as natural disaster, cancelled flights, strike, industrial action, war, riot, quarantine, government intervention, weather, or a group member's health may force cancellation. In those cases you may choose either a refund of 75% of the total trip cost paid (13% government tax deducted from that refund) or reuse of the same value on an alternative trip at the same price in the same season and year. The booking deposit (25% of the total) remains non-refundable in that scenario. Cancellation must be sent in writing; the cancellation date is the date written notice is received.

Chhomrong, Deurali, and Annapurna Base Camp come first, then you swing onto the Mardi trail toward High Camp and the Machhapuchhre viewpoint. You stand in the sanctuary amphitheatre and on the Mardi ridge in one trip, two high points with one Pokhara start. Two different high points, one conservation area: rhododendron forest, Gurung lodges, and a road finish back to Pokhara. Guides keep the pace honest between sanctuary stairs and the narrower Mardi ridge. Chhomrong stairs, Deurali, and Machhapuchhre from High Camp are the days guests come for. ✨ Why Choose Us This calendar links Annapurna Base Camp with Mardi Himal Base Camp on one crew, so we time the Pokhara flight and the Jhinu Danda start before you walk into Chhomrong. Your guide watches height through Himalaya and Machhapuchhre Base Camp, then keeps the 4,130 m sanctuary night honest before you drop to Bamboo. ACAP paperwork and lodge lists on both trails are filed from Kathmandu so the switch from the Modi Khola to the Mardi ridge is about walking, not permits. After the Jhinu soak you'll climb through Landruk, Forest Camp, and High Camp for the 4,500 m Mardi Himal excursion, then finish via Badal Danda and Siding. Porters are insured, paid fairly, and carry about 25 to 30 kg, with one porter for every two guests. Daily plans are shared each evening so a cloud hold on the ridge can shift without guesswork. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Airport pickup in Kathmandu and hotel transfer Two nights in a 3-star Kathmandu hotel with breakfast One night in a 3-star Pokhara hotel with breakfast Breakfast, lunch, and dinner on trekking days Tourist bus from Pokhara to Kathmandu after the trek Domestic flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara Private vehicle from Pokhara to Nayapul Shared jeep from Nayapul to Jhinu Danda Private transport from Siding village to Pokhara Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) TIMS trekking permit All trekking permits and paperwork arranged ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point outside arranged airport transfers Nepal visa fees International flights to and from Kathmandu Travel and rescue insurance Meals outside the trek itinerary Personal phone calls, laundry, and bar bills Battery recharge, extra porters, bottled water, and hot showers ### Kit list Broken-in waterproof hiking boots and wool or synthetic socks Layered clothing, insulated jacket, rain shell, hat, and gloves Daypack, water bottles, and head torch Sleeping bag suitable for teahouse nights at altitude Sunglasses, sunscreen, lip balm, and personal first aid kit Passport copies, visa, insurance documents, and cash for extras on the trail ## FAQs ### When is the best season for this trek? Stable trekking weather most often falls in pre-monsoon spring and post-monsoon autumn. Monsoon cloud sits lower on the hills while winter brings ice on steps above village level. If your dates sit in winter or monsoon, pack rain and cold layers and accept that flight or pass days may move by a day when safety requires it. Weather can shift daily plans, so your guide keeps a steady pace with regular breaks. ### How fit do I need to be? You should be comfortable walking several hours a day on uneven paths with a daypack, including steady uphill sections as you gain height. Hill training and longer weekend walks in the months before travel help your legs and lungs on uphill trail days. Hill training, stair climbing, and longer weekend hikes in the months before travel help your legs and lungs, even when acclimatisation days are built into the route. Break in boots before you fly and carry a light daypack on practice walks. ### What is included in the package? Guided trekking with licensed leaders, lodge nights on the trail, meals as described for walking days, and permits for the regions crossed are included when they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, porters, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, road transfers, porter support, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip.

Hot showers, Wi-Fi, and battery charging in lodges are usually paid locally when offered. Charges for hot showers, Wi-Fi, or battery charging in lodges are paid locally when offered unless your trip notes say otherwise. International flights, visa fees, and personal insurance stay outside the trek package. ### Where do we meet? Thamel hotel meet after airport pickup is standard; confirm whether briefing is in Kathmandu, Pokhara, or both. Allow a little extra time after the trek before international flights home in case mountain roads or flights move. Trailhead transport from Pokhara is timed so you reach Nayapul in daylight when possible. Trail conditions are checked each morning before the group moves. ### How does altitude sickness management work? Guides set a steady pace and watch for headache, nausea, or dizziness as you gain height. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather. Tell your guide early if symptoms appear so tomorrow's stage can shorten or descent can start before conditions worsen. Thamel hotels are the usual meet point; drivers need flight numbers to meet you at the international terminal. ### How do we reach the trailhead? Road transfer from Kathmandu to Pokhara and a short drive to Nayapul or another start point are common when transport is included. Your guide confirms departure times at briefing. Motion sickness medicine helps on winding mountain roads. Shoulder weeks need an honest weather call before high passes or dawn viewpoints. ### What permits are required? Annapurna Conservation Area Permit and TIMS registration apply on this route. The team arranges paperwork in Kathmandu or Pokhara when you provide passport copies and trek dates. Keep copies in your daypack for checkpoint stops. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather. ### Can children join this trek? Families join when children can manage the daily hours and terrain on this specific route. Pace and daily hours can be adjusted on private departures, though that may extend the calendar. Ask our Kathmandu team if you are planning with younger walkers. Private departures can shorten daily hours, though that may add a day or two to the calendar. ### What insurance do I need? Comprehensive travel insurance that covers trekking to the highest altitude on your itinerary, medical evacuation, and helicopter rescue when applicable is essential. Many standard policies exclude high altitude by name. Read the wording before you travel so you can adjust cover if trekking above 5,000 metres is not named. Many standard policies exclude high altitude by name, so read the wording before you fly. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Mardi-Trekking-1.webp - **Gallery image count**: 10 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
