    Day 1: Pokhara to Kande, Trek to Forest Camp (2,540 m)

Drive for about 1 hour from Pokhara to Kande, the starting point of the trek. Start hiking through beautiful forest trails with occasional openings showing terraced hills. After Australian Camp and Pothana, the route follows the forested path toward Forest Camp. The trail is peaceful and rich in orchids, moss, and rhododendron trees. Overnight at Forest Camp.

    Day 2: Forest Camp to Low Camp at 2,970 m or Badal Danda at 3,210 m

Continue through dense, fragrant forest until reaching Low Camp. Those interested in better views can go an extra 1 hour to Badal Danda, a ridge above the clouds with incredible panoramas of Machhapuchhre and surrounding peaks. Overnight in the midst of mountain scenery.

   Day 3: Low Camp/Badal Danda to High Camp (3,580 m)

This section of the trail leaves the forest and follows an open ridge with dramatic views on both sides. It's one of the most scenic sections, with Fishtail Mountain towering close above. High Camp is perched on a ridge, offering outstanding sunset and sunrise views.

    Day 4: High Camp to Mardi Himal Viewpoint (4,200 m), Return to Sidhing

Start an early ascent to Mardi Himal Viewpoint. The trail up is narrow but rewarding, with stunning colors of sunrise hitting the Annapurna range. From here, head down again for breakfast at High Camp and then make your way down to Sidhing village by a different route, which is quicker. Overnight in Sidhing.

   Day 5: Sidhing to Pokhara

From Sidhing, take a jeep back to Pokhara, which will take 2-3 hours, thus ending the short but unforgettable Mardi Himal adventure.
