You will be taken for sightseeing of Kathmandu Valley to explore the vibrant city after breakfast at your hotel. Drive to famous Buddhist Stupa Swayambunath, also known as Monkey temple, on the hill of Kathmandu Valley where you can see stunning view of mountains and Kathmandu valley. This temple attracts Buddhists and tourists from around the world. Swayambhunath Stupa is the most ancient and enigmatic of all the holy shrines in Kathmandu valley. Its lofty white dome and glittering golden spire are visible from far and wide. Next is Pashupatinath, the temple of Lord Shiva. This is probably the most famous temple for Hindu in Indian Sub-continent. There is crematorium beside the temple where dead bodies are burnt to ashes. After exploring Pashupatinath you will visit fascinating sights of Patan Durbar Square, one of the most glorious examples of traditional Nepalese architecture, full of century’s old temples and palaces.
After breakfast drive towards the beautiful town of Pokhara in western part of Nepal. Taking fresh air, enjoy the staggering beauty of an area surrounded by some of the world’s highest mountains. In the afternoon, we boat across Lake Phewa for magnificent views of the Annapurna mountain range. Watch reflections of their dazzling white peaks sparkle in the mirror-like water. Annapurna range is probably one of the finest mountain panoramas in the world. Enjoy the sunset in the lake and take dinner in one of the famous restaurant at lake side. Stay overnight at the hotel of the Pokhara.
Early the morning after briefing and breakfast, start your driving from pokhara to Kande. Kande one of the top hill near the pokhara. From where you begin your trek approaching the Pothana first. On the way you will have some views of the villages in the horizon. Take rest and the Lunch, after lunches continue further to Forest Camp. The trail is mostly inside the green forest of oak, maple, hemlock and also there is the danger of the animals so you have to make yourself secured. The trekking includes many ups and downs and takes about 4 hours to reach the Forest Camp, stay overnight at the forest camp.
Today after your morning refreshment head towards the Low camp which lies in the height of the 3,035m. The trail is steep at the beginning however changes to the gradual climbing after a while.

After trekking an hour or so above Low camp the trails breaks out above forest and towards the west there you can see the good views of the Annapurna south and Hiuchuli. The trail continues along the Mardi Himal ridge mainly on grass with some isolated rhododendron bushes along the way. Look out for the colorful Danphe pheasant on this section of the trail. The lodge at High Camp is larger than lodges at Low Camp and Forest Camp, The camp is facilitated with the suitable rooms and a separate dining room with the heater. The view from the lodge of the Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) is so much beautiful. Stay overnight at the Camp.
Today’s plan is to wake up early to watch the first ray of the sunlight from the mountains then after an early breakfast walk up the point towards Mardi Himal Base Camp. There is a well-established trail through the grass with a couple of steeper sections however overall not too challenging. You can see the animals Dzokpo (yak/ cow crossbreds) grazing up here as well as Danphe pheasant. After three hours you will reach the Base Camp at the elevation of 4500m.

Trek back to Low Camp for overnight.
Today early the morning, trek back after your morning breakfast. On the way you can take the different route so completing a circuit, from Low Camp there is a trail that goes down to Siding village rather than going back down Mardi Himal back to Kokar. Siding one of the traditional Nepalese village and still very much away from the busier modern tourist treks and it is likely you will stay at a home stay in Siding owned by the person who runs one of the lodges at Low Camp. It is exciting cultural experience finding out more about village life and you will probably eat the nepali typical dinner in the evening. Enjoy the Dinner and stay overnight at the home of the Siding Village.

I strongly recommend the trekking group team agency. I did the Mardi Himal trek with Suk who is a super guide, very professional, carrying so much for us (in particular to prevent from the AMM), with humour. The organisation of the trek was perfect. Sree, the contact in the agency was very professional too, and is listening to the customers and makes sure everything is fine for us. I really advise this agency.

I would warmly advise you to book with Trekking Team Group if you are visiting Nepal! I booked a Mardi Himal trek with them and a one-day guided tour in Kathmandu and they were both amazing and perfectly planned. Trekking was absolutely stunning! Our guide (Suk) was funny, extremely prepared and knowledgeable. Plus nobody had any issues with AMS. Book with them if you want an unforgettable Nepalese experience! I am already planning to come back and will book with them if I need it!

My friend and I went to Nepal and wanted to try trekking. It's the first time for both of us, so we visited different places in Thamel and asked for the planning and price. The guy we talked to in Trekking Team Group seemed to really know what he was talking about and also speaks english perfectly. Furthermore his price was definitely the cheapest with everything included. So we chose this place and he was our guide for 4 days and everything went perfect! We are really happy that we chose Trekking Team Group - they know what they're doing and gives you an unforgetable memorie!

This is ADVENTURE travel, and many of the trip destinations in this site are remote areas, within under developed countries, where events are less predictable than is usually the case in. The unexpected is the norm in these areas and, despite painstaking planning and organization, our adventure trips can never be taken for granted like regular trips. Many of the places that we visit do not have the same quality of emergency health and safety services that you are used to in the developed world. Internal flights can be canceled, road transport is generally uncomfortable and unreliable, and hotels often do not approach the standards of the West.
IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS, YOU SHOULD NOT TRAVEL WITH US. This unpredictability also means that the itineraries that we put forward for each of our trips should be seen as statements of intent, rather than as contractual obligations. A variety of factors, including weather, transport difficulties and political instability, might dictate that we change any itinerary. The trip leader will make any changes that are necessary, after consultation with the group. Only rarely will such changes be significant, and we will always do everything within our powers to minimize the effects of the enforced changes. We cannot be held responsible for the results of changes or delays, irrespective of how they are caused.
