Ltd is the first priority for customer’s safety. So, register with your embassy in Kathmandu, particularly on the off chance that you intend to go trekking. Try to within the group or trek with a guide, do not trek without a guide and alone. The guided trekking is the most preferable option while you traveling in Nepal. While you trekking in the mountainous region we cannot predict the weather condition to avoid consequences occur due to bad weather but in the high altitude weather will be great every morning even for a short period of time, we prescribe guided trek. Changes in the weather anytime, unexpected illness of a group member like AMS (Acquit Mountain Sickness), and unanticipated natural disasters might bring changes in the designed itinerary programs. In these cases, the guide (who provided from the company) will help you to overcome the problem anytime. Be prepared to be flexible if necessary and share even you have a small problem with your guide. Don’t rush or run, do as the guide says every day.

Don’t travel without travel insurance, you must use trekking pulse, you most drink water minimum 3 litters a day, do you need exercise before you planning to trek like cycling tour or hike uphill, or normally you should run every morning to be fit. Do you need proper trekking equipment (accept down jackets and sleeping bag Mountain Magic Treks provide)

How is the food like in Mardi Himal Trekking?

Dal, Bhat, Tarakari (Dal: Lentil soup, Bhat: rice, Tarkari: Curry) is typical delicious Nepalese food. Dal, Bhat, Tarkari and some international cuisines like Tibetan, Chinese, Indian, but we recommend that be vegetarian because you do not get fresh food in the mountain, just in the city or at low altitude at the beginning of trekking you can eat meat or other items. In beverage, you can get tea, coffee, flavored drinks, and beer, vodka, but alcoholic also we don’t recommend you while trekking up to your final destination but on the way back you can drink and relax.

How high is the Mardi Himal and up to how height we will reach on this trip?

The Mardi Himal is in the high altitude of 5,585m. Do we trek to Mardi Himal Base Camp and it is 4,505meters. We will be hiking up to Base Camp during the day and be back to High Camp which is 3,900m from the sea level. This is good enough to get oxygen and risk-free of high altitude.

Is there any age limit for Mardi Himal Trekking?

No, for this trekking anyone can join and can complete easily. Normally you have to be physically fit and if not do you need exercise before your trek. You can do for the exercise like cycling tours, run every morning even for 30 minutes, or you can hike uphill if as possible.

What are the main attractions of Mardi Himal Short Trek Itinerary?

Mardi Himal trekking is one of the best and short trekking destinations with the best views of Annapurna Himalayas. When you hike up from Deurali every day you can see the mountainous views very close and beautiful. There is no risk of altitude sickness because of the plants and not too high. The most important views are Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchre and Manaslu Himalayan ranges of this trekking.

Is drinking water available and safe to drink during the Mardi Himal Short Trekking?

Nepal is a small country but this is the second richest country in water resources. You can see and feel how rich is Nepal on streams, ponds, and taps all over the place throughout the Mardi Himal trekking. But drinking water directly coming from the mountain which is natural but not safe to drink. It would be better for you to be in the safe side carry water purifier tablets so you can easily drink and enjoy drinking water direct from natural sources or you can drink mineral water bottle which is easily available during the trek. The cost is getting high day by day because they have to bring all the things from the city or big markets. Purification tablets Mountain Magic Treks will provide you as much as you want for trekking.

If this is my first time trekking, what do I need to focus on to complete this trip easily?

Short Mardi Himal Trekking is easy to moderate trek, do we advise that you need exercise even for a week (Cycling tour or hiking through the rocky trails or run every morning even short duration) if you do this kind of exercise it won’t be difficult for those who are trekking for the first time. We have to cross a nasty trail because of the animals like horses and donkeys for this trek.

How will I contact to my family during the trek?

There is access to landline phones with ISD services or do we get NTC (Nepal Telecom Connection) network there so you can directly contact or you can use data for the internet from your own phone. In some lodges, there is a Wi-Fi service available it may cost some amount but do you get services while trekking.

Is there any luxury option for Mardi Himal Trek?

Only in the city do we get luxurious hotels and other things but in the trekking has basic teahouses. In the high season do we need to share the room with others it means do we get separate beds in the same rooms If you are not able to walk and have a short time to explore Mardi Himal then we can also operate helicopter tours to Mardi Himal. You can choose either group joining a tour or a private helicopter tour. We can do as per your demand and comfort level.

What should I do if I become sick in the mid of the trekking?

Mountain Magic Treks team is like our family don’t panic, and don’t hesitate to inform guide about your problem what you have. Our trekking guide will take action according to the level of your sickness anytime. If there are minor problems then the guide will look after you and take you to the nearest hospital.

We have fixed departure dates for the years of visit 2020, 2021, and 2022. Do we cover all the seasons for the trekking accept moon soon season. The moon soon season is June, July, and August in Nepal. The peak trekking seasons (March-May and September-November. If you are unable to join on our fixed departure dates also do we depart the trek in your willingness date even for solo trekkers.

Short Mardi Himal Trekking takes the same time as for Poon Hill trekking. Our recommendation is for Mardi Himal trek than Poon Hill. The benefit is you reach till 4500m high, you can catch the views of all mountains of Annapurna Himalayas, you reach Mardi Himal Base camp, and you reach very near the Mt. Machhapuchre. Just for 5 days trek too short for you then you can choose another 9 days Mardi Himal Trekking which is also nice and easy you can complete.

Do Mountain Magic Treks provide just a trekking guide or a porter for carrying our luggage?

Yes, we do. We would say batter to hire both guide and porter. The porter will be carrying your luggage, it helps you in the high altitude you cannot breathe easily even carrying anything. Just with the handbag, it makes you easy to trek with other things in the handbag (light cloths, water, important documents like Passport, money wallet, energy bars, etc)

If you are fit enough to carry the luggage yourself and if you do not want to have a porter that will be great but you must have a guide for your trekking. The guide knowing everything of the mountains hotels, name of the mountain peaks, and he will give you all information about this trekking like flora and fauna, history of this trip, flowers and wild animals many more, so you need to know something about this trek and for the safety do you need to hire a guide. Mountain Magic Treks team smiling face, friendly staff, more than 10 years of experienced about Mardi Himal trekking.

The trip operator wants to meet you upon your arrival and before departure as well to collect your comments on our services and your experience. This is long term business so that do we need some advice from you too, to provide more services but through the other ways of servicing or whatever is the best for the future.
