Explore the 5-Day Mardi Himal Trek from Pokhara, Nepal

Summary: The awe-inspiring scenery of the snow-capped mountains and their surroundings was truly unforgettable. Words cannot fully capture the experience, and it is only by being there in person that you can truly appreciate the beauty and majesty of these natural wonders. We were completely immersed in the experience, as our thoughts about logistics and well-being were taken care of. This was thanks to our two very friendly, accommodating, and patient guides, Mr. Shusil and Mr. Phul, along with the team of porters. Mr. Shusil made incredible efforts to ensure our comfort and safety throughout the journey. His patience was particularly noteworthy, as he took the time to address all our questions and concerns, ensuring we felt secure and supported at every step. We will always remember your excellent service, Mr. Shusil and Mr. Phul.

Summary: This is my 5th trekking trip to Nepal since 2018. I couldn’t resist the attraction of the majestic mountain views of the Himalayan range. The trek has been made possible with the warm and welcoming hospitality of the guides lead by Shusil Gurung and assisted by Phul Gurung; and the support of the 5 porters. The steady guidance by our 2 guides have made it possible for my friends to successfully reached Mardi Himal View Point and safely return to Kathmandu without any incident. It was a truly enjoyable trip and the team spirit of camaraderie made this trekking experience a memorable one for many years to come. This is my 2nd trekking trip with Everest Trekking Routes lead by Shusil. I would definitely use them again for my next trekking trip with them. And recommend them to my friends. A big thanks to Shusil, Phul and their team for this wonderful experience . 🙏🏻

Summary: It is my first trekking trip to Nepal. We totally enjoyed the tour although it was filled with challenges and difficulties. We love the weather, the food especially the breathtaking views of the majestic mountains, moss forests , alpine trees. Special tribute has to be given to our 2 guides - Sushil and Phul. Both of them are so experienced and so patient and kind to us. They guided us every step of the way with proper rests and safety. I am very touched by their kindness and hospitality. As a result we all successfully made View Point and took so many memorable photos. Thank you Sushil, Phul and last but not least the 5 dedicated porters who carried our duffel bags as we hiked. So much of admiration to all of you!

Summary: The hike route was challenging and interesting with beautiful scenery, mountains and teahouses. The guides (Mr Shuhil Gurung and Mr Phul) and 5 porters were great, responsible, accommodating, and professional in executing their work. I strongly recommend them to any hikers.

Summary: We 9 hiking friends, were blessed to have 2 very competent and accommodating Guides ; Sushil Gurung & Phul Gurung and their 5 Porters. Although it’s the longest hike I’ve ever done, their coordination & my great friends, made it easier than it actually is. 4,192 m ! The views which included trekking through Rhododendron forests with Coelogyne Caristata orchids (blooming in a relatively off season cold climate) made it wondrous. Mules, buffalo’s and friendly dogs made it better. We were sprinkled with snow falling like hail stones and later, at a higher altitude, actual snowflakes. A wonderful and satisfying trek made easy with the above-and-beyond-the-call-of-duty Guides and their 5 porters.

Summary: I recently completed the Mardi Himal trek with Everest Trekking, and it was an incredible experience. The entire trip was well-organized, and our guide, Sobit, was exceptional. He was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and ensured my safety and comfort throughout the journey. I highly recommend Everest Trekking to anyone considering a trek in the Himalayas.

Summary: I had an unforgettable experience on my first solo trip to Nepal, completing the 5-day Mardi Himal trek. I’m incredibly grateful to Robin and Sobit for making this journey so special. From the moment I arrived, Robin gave me a warm welcome and took care of all the logistics. He even went out of his way to help me rebook my domestic flight after I made an error with my booking, which was a huge relief. My guide, Sobit, was exceptional throughout the trek. He ensured that I was well looked after, managing all the hotel bookings, meals, and drinks. He explained the route clearly and was always encouraging. When I struggled towards the end, Sobit was incredibly supportive, offering a helping hand and doing everything he could to make sure I completed the trek. The whole trek was perfectly organized, with a jeep and hotel arranged last-minute for the 4th night, just as I requested to finish the trek a day earlier. Sobit also took amazing photos of me along the way, capturing memories I’ll cherish forever. Both Robin and Sobit are friendly, professional, and truly care about their guests. I would definitely choose them again for any future treks in Nepal!

Summary: The trip well plan. The tour guide, Sandesh and his brother, Sobit is so caring. Must visit at least once to mardi himal. It's so beatiful. The momories will last lifetime

Summary: When it came to choosing a trekking company, I had many options. However, I began communicating with Everest Trekking Routes Pte Ltd via Rabin Gurung, initially to inquire about the trip and discuss possible customizations to the standard itinerary. To my surprise, Rabin was prompt, accommodating, patience, and thoroughly responsive. This back-and-forth continued over the span of two to three months, and his persistence and consistency left a strong impression. Meeting him in Kathmandu confirmed my confidence; he is genuinely committed, caring and responsible. Upon our arrival in Pokhara, we were introduced to my guide, Phul Gurung, whose professionalism and respect for client comfort and safety were evident from the start. Phul speaks good English, and we connected easily. He maintained a perfect balance, giving us space while always being attentive to our needs—a true testament to his understanding of client care. I would choose him again as my guide without hesitation, which speaks volumes about the trust he inspires. Our porter, Hau Re, did not speak English, but thanks to Phul and Jenisha, a young trainee guide who joined us, language was never a barrier. Hau Re’s strength and fitness were invaluable, especially when my son experienced discomfort at the 4500m basecamp. At Phul’s direction, Hau Re shouldered him back to the rest camp, a gesture for which I am deeply grateful, as I couldn’t imagine my son managing the additional two-hour descent. The 9-days trek to Machapuchare Base Camp (MBC) plus Poon Hill was breathtaking, with each day offering incredible highlights from Kande to MBC and back to Jhinu, Nayapul, and finally, Pokhara. Phul’s knowledge of the terrain, distances, lodges, and scenic viewpoints enriched the experience, bringing out the majesty of the landscape in ways I could never have anticipated. Though challenging, our journey was filled with unforgettable moments and stunning vistas that will stay with us forever. The camaraderie with our guide, porter, and young trainee guide made the trek not only safe but also exceptionally warm and memorable. For other travelers, it’s worth noting a few points to enhance the experience. First, transportation is arranged separately by the trekking company with the service providers, as the company does not own its own vehicles—something to consider in terms of timing and coordination. Additionally, the quality of lodges varies in the mountains, so it helps to set personal expectations. We specifically requested certain lodge standards for some nights and were delighted by the accommodations provided. One lodge that stood out was the Himal Pani Guest House, an unexpected gem nestled in a remote, secluded spot. The family running this lodge made us feel completely at home, offering a warm and restful sanctuary. This brings me back to Phul’s attentiveness; he truly understood our preferences and found ways to turn our spontaneous ideas into reality. My sincere gratitude goes to the entire team for making the MBC trek such a remarkable adventure. It was more than just a journey; it was a genuinely enriching experience.

Summary: We had a wonderful trip. We truly enjoyed the breathtakingly scenery in Mardi Himal. Our tour guide Phul is very experienced and committed. He went beyond his duties to forage the seasonal vegetables and muchrooms and even cooked for us. A yummy dish. Milan is very caring and cheerful that made the trip very enjoyable. He focused on our safety and trekked with us at a super slow- pace. Truly patient guide. Samu Gurung and Sancha both are strong men who carried our heavy load of bags. They are very helpful and always smiling. We are gratefulfor your excellent guidance and friendly demenor. You truly made our trip special and memorable.
