It will be less crowded as this trek is a newly open trek and mostly we walk through the jungle watching spectacular views of Himalayas range. When we reach to Middle Camp we feel like we are reaching to the different world because we are above the tree lines and can see many mountain ranges such as Mt Dhaulagiri, Mt. Hiunchuli, Mt. Annapurna I, Annapurna Fang, Mt. Fishtail, Machhapuchhre and many more. Mardi Base Camp is the highest point on this trek and provides great views.

From High Camp, you could have a sunrise view in the early morning and many highest mountains. On the way back to high camp sometime we can see Daphne (National Bird of Nepal) as well as other rare wildlife. After low camp we have to walk steep down to siding and from siding the trail is easy because of the road and from here we drive to Pokhara by local jeep. Every year Nepal Dream Path organizes treks on Mardi and everyone is satisfied with the trek. It is a long rising ridge from the southwesterly lower slope of Mount Fishtail and its summit is at 5,580m.
