Reisoverzicht
The Mardi Himal Yoga Trek combines mountain trekking with a structured wellness program in the Annapurna region of Nepal. The route starts in Kathmandu and ends up in Pokhara before starting the trekking section from Kande. The trail then heads through woods, rhododendron patches and mountain scenery as it slowly ascends to higher ground.
The trekking days are planned to include walking and wellness. Yoga sessions are held in the morning; recovery yoga, stretching and singing bowl sound healing are held after some of the trekking days. These sessions will give time for a relaxed and gentle workout in addition to the physical challenge.
The Mardi Himal Trek reaches High Camp at approximately 3,550 to 3,580 m / 11,647 to 11,745 ft. The highest section of the trek is the Mardi Himal Base Camp area at around 4500m/14764ft which takes a long walk from High Camp, including some rocky and more exposed sections of the higher trail. Leaving the Base Camp area, you will head down towards Badal Danda (approx. 3,210 m / 10,531 ft).
There is also a variety of scenery along the way. The lower parts feature forest and village scenes and the upper path offers a glimpse of the mountains. Once you reach Siding Village, you will drive back to Pokhara in a private jeep. It then goes with the tourist bus to Kathmandu.
The Mardi Himal Wellness Trek is ideal for those seeking a more than average walking experience. The wellness sessions do not, however, take away the physical challenges of the trek. There are still a few days of walking ahead of you, both uphill and downhill and the longer Base Camp day.
Accommodation is comprised of three star hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara and tea houses on the trekking part of the trip. Breakfast is available as per the Tour Program and for the trekking days, breakfast, lunch and dinner are included.
The trek is planned with time for wellness and rest in Kathmandu and Pokhara, as well as some cultural time. The services and transportation will be arranged by My Everest Trip, as it is mentioned in the package. My Everest Trip will arrange trekking support and other services mentioned in the package, as well as the planned transportation.
Waarom is deze reis zo bijzonder?
On the Mardi Himal Yoga Trek, you will experience the trail at a comfortable pace while learning about walking, practicing your yoga postures and breathing techniques from the comfort of the mountains. As well as trekking through forests, villages and higher mountain areas, you will be allocated time for yoga, pranayama and meditation.
The uniqueness of the Mardi Himal Trek is that wellness sessions are included throughout the trek. Selected trekking days include recovery yoga, stretching and singing bowl sound healing and morning practices are included to help prepare you for the walking day.
The highest point is about 4500 m / 14764 ft, so it is an arduous yet rewarding trip. This is also the route through the quieter forest areas between Kande and Siding, offering a diversified walking experience.
This is a perfect trek for people who are thinking of undertaking a Mardi Himal Wellness Trek, taking a balance of trekking, relaxing, enjoying a beautiful mountain landscape and spending some time to support their well-being.

Mardi Himal Yoga Trek Additional Information
Mardi Himal Trek Difficulty and Daily Walking
Generally, the Mardi Himal Yoga Trek is moderate, but the level of difficulty gradually varies throughout when climbing to High Camp and the Base Camp area. Forest paths, stone steps, uphill and exposed ridges and rocky ground are included in the route.
| sectie | Ongeveer afstand | Wandeltijd | Belangrijkste uitdaging |
| Kande naar Pitam Deurali | 6 km | 4 om 5 uur | Gradual uphill walking |
| Pitam Deurali to Rest Camp | 9 km | 5 om 6 uur | Longer forest ascent |
| Rest Camp to High Camp | 7 tot 9 km | 5 om 6 uur | Steeper altitude gain |
| High Camp to Base Camp and Badal Danda | 12 tot 14 km | 7 om 9 uur | Long, rocky and exposed sections |
| Badal Danda to Siding | 5 tot 6 km | 3 om 4 uur | Long descent |
The Base Camp day is the most challenging as it involves a long walk, high altitude and a long descent.
Altitude Gain and Acclimatization on the Mardi Himal Route
The route is from Pokhara to successive trekking zones of increasing altitude; care must be taken with the altitude gain. High Camp is around 3,550 to 3,580 m / 11,647 to 11,745 ft, while the Base Camp area is approximately 4,500 m / 14,764 ft.
| Lokatie | Geschatte hoogte | Overnachten? | Belangrijkste overweging | Lokatie |
| Pokhara | 820 m / 2,690 ft | Ja | Startpunt | Pokhara |
| Pitam Deurali | 2,100 m / 6,890 ft | Ja | First significant gain | Pitam Deurali |
| Rustkamp | 2,700 m / 8,858 ft | Ja | Continued ascent | Rustkamp |
| Hoog kamp | 3,550 to 3,580 m / 11,647 to 11,745 ft | Ja | Grote hoogte | Hoog kamp |
| Mardi Himal Base Camp area | 4,500 m / 14,764 ft | Nee | Hoogste punt van de trektocht | Mardi Himal Base Camp area |
| Badal Danda | 3,210 m / 10,531 ft | Ja | Descent after high point | Badal Danda |
This trek has no acclimatisation day. Slow walking, adequate water intake and frequent meals, plus early reporting of symptoms, are therefore important. The itinerary also includes wellness sessions interspersed with the days of the trek, recovering a bit more after the longer walks.
Mardi Himal Base Camp: What to Expect at 4,500 m / 14,764 ft
This trek takes us to Mardi Himal Base Camp, which is at a high elevation of about 4500m / 14764ft. It is accessed from the long day at High Camp before you head down towards Badal Danda. The route information at the time also states that some trekkers go on from the Upper Viewpoint to the Base Camp area.
The path at this elevation is more exposed and hard rock than lower areas of the forest. The weather can be unpredictable and wind can make it feel colder than it really is.
The Base Camp section should not be done as a sprint! Your basic possessions will generally be left at the tea house and only the necessities brought up to the higher section.
We then head back as you descend to about 3210 m / 10531 ft at Badal Danda to spend an overnight stay. The walking part of your trip will take approximately 7 to 9 hours.
Best Season for Mardi Himal Trek: Weather and Temperature
The best time to do Mardi Himal Trek is during the spring and autumn seasons, with March to May and September to November being relatively quiet. In April, the Nepal Tourism Board officially classifies the months of March to May and September to November as the prime trekking seasons of the Annapurna region.
| Maand | Typical Conditions at Higher Sections | Day Temperature* | Night Temperature* | Trail-omstandigheden |
| Januari | Koud, mogelijk sneeuw | 2 tot 8 ° C | -8 tot -2°C | Mogelijk sneeuw |
| Februari | Koud en over het algemeen droog | 2 tot 8 ° C | -8 tot -2°C | Mogelijk sneeuw |
| March | Milde dagen, koude nachten | 5 tot 12 ° C | -5 tot 2 ° C | Over het algemeen droog |
| April | Mild and clearer | 5 tot 12 ° C | -5 tot 2 ° C | Goede voorwaarden |
| Mei | Warmer, increasing humidity | 8 tot 15 ° C | 0 tot 5 ° C | Meestal beheersbaar |
| Juni | De regen begint | 10 tot 16 ° C | 2 tot 6 ° C | Nat en modderig |
| juli | Regelmatige moessonregens | 10 tot 16 ° C | 2 tot 6 ° C | Slippery and wet |
| Augustus | Nat en bewolkt | 10 tot 16 ° C | 2 tot 6 ° C | Mud and leeches possible |
| September | Verbetering na de moesson | 6 tot 13 ° C | -3 tot 2 ° C | De omstandigheden verbeteren. |
| Oktober | Cool and mostly clear | 6 tot 13 ° C | -3 tot 2 ° C | Over het algemeen droog |
| November | Koel en droog | 3 tot 10 ° C | -6 tot -1°C | Good but colder |
| December | Koud en droog | 3 tot 10 ° C | -6 tot -1°C | Mogelijk sneeuw |
These are approximate upper elevation temperature ranges only and will vary with elevation, wind, cloud and weather conditions. The current route guidance also reflects these seasons: spring and autumn are the primary seasons and winter can be snowy and muddy trails and leeches can be a problem in the monsoon season.
Normal Mardi Himal Trek vs Mardi Himal Yoga Trek
The differences between a normal Mardi Himal Trek and a yoga-focused itinerary are just in the daily experience, as the mountain routes are roughly the same.
| Kenmerk | Normal Mardi Himal Trek | Mardi Himal Yoga Trek |
| Belangrijkste doel | Trekking and mountain experience | Trekking combined with wellness |
| Dagelijks wandelen | Hoofdactiviteit | Main activity plus wellness |
| Yoga | Meestal niet inbegrepen | Included regularly |
| Pranayama | Normaal gesproken niet inbegrepen | Inbegrepen |
| Meditatie | Normaal gesproken niet inbegrepen | Inbegrepen |
| Herstelrekoefeningen | Usually self managed | Planned sessions |
| Klankschaal | Normaal gesproken niet inbegrepen | Inbegrepen |
| Ochtend routine | Ontbijt en voorbereiding | Wellness session followed by breakfast or trekking |
| Avondroutine | Rest and dinner | Recovery yoga, stretching and sound healing |
| Suitable focus | Walking and exploration | Walking, relaxation and wellness |
As a result, the Mardi Himal Wellness Trek calls for the same care and attention as a regular trek, especially with regard to altitude and walking training. Unlike with the walk, the difference is that there are structured wellness sessions integrated around the walking schedule. The itinerary includes yoga, pranayama, meditation, recovery yoga, stretching and singing bowl classes.
Yoga, Pranayama and Meditation During the Trek
Yoga is not a separate trek activity, but part of the daily wellness program. Sessions are conducted before or after walks as per the program.
On a few trekking mornings, 45 minutes yoga, followed by 15 minutes of pranayama and 10 minutes of meditation, is included in the itinerary. Sitting yoga and stretching sessions are also held after walking days and singing bowl sound healing is also offered during certain evenings.
The aim is to offer gentle walking, breathing practice and time for relaxation following walking. The sessions should not be considered heavy exercise, especially at higher altitudes.
Inform the wellness instructor/guide if they begin to feel dizzy, excessively fatigued, short of breath or ill. When at altitude, safety and rest should be first priority over a properly planned yoga session.
How Wellness Sessions Are Adjusted at High Altitude
The walking programme is not always maintained at the same level of intensity, but is structured around the wellness activities. This is especially significant as the walk hours increase and the elevation increases.
| Trekkingdag | Main Wellness Sessions | Wandelvraag | Suitable Approach |
| dag 3 | Yoga, pranayama, meditation, recovery yoga and sound healing | 4 om 5 uur | Normal gentle practice |
| dag 4 | Yoga, pranayama, meditation, recovery yoga and sound healing | 5 om 6 uur | Moderate, relaxed practice |
| dag 5 | Yoga, pranayama, meditation, recovery yoga and sound healing | 5 om 6 uur | Vermijd overbelasting |
| dag 6 | Meditation, pranayama and yoga, followed by recovery work | 7 om 9 uur | Keep recovery gentle |
| dag 7 | Yoga, pranayama, meditation, recovery yoga and sound healing | 3 om 4 uur | Gentle recovery |
The peak day for walking is about 4500 m / 14,764 ft; thus the wellness program should not be a strain on the body, but should help regenerate it. Your evening session is relaxing after Base Camp day.
Mardi Himal Trek Route from Kande to Siding
De reis begint bij Kande, which is just a short drive from Pokhara. After this point, the trail heads uphill through forest, then on to Pitam Deurali and then on to the higher trek regions. Rest Camp is the next night’s stop on your schedule and you’re then on your way to High Camp.
| Routegedeelte | Ongeveer afstand | Geschatte looptijd | Karakter |
| Kande naar Pitam Deurali | 6 km | 4 om 5 uur | Forest and gradual ascent |
| Pitam Deurali to Rest Camp | 9 km | 5 om 6 uur | Rhododendron and forest |
| Rest Camp to High Camp | 7 tot 9 km | 5 om 6 uur | Increasingly open terrain |
| High Camp to Base Camp and Badal Danda | 12 tot 14 km | 7 om 9 uur | Rocky, exposed and long |
| Badal Danda to Siding | 5 tot 6 km | 3 om 4 uur | Forest and downhill trail |
Once you arrive at Siding, you will have lunch and a private jeep to Pokhara. This is a tour route following the route as indicated in the tour.
Other Treks in the Annapurna Region
The Mardi Himal Trek is situated in the Annapurna region, where there are numerous trekking options from short walks to high-altitude routes in the villages. Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna-basiskamp, Jomsom, Mustang, Sikles and Ghandruk are some of the trekking places in the region as identified by the Nepal Tourism Board.
| tocht | Geschatte duur | Highest Point / Key Elevation | Algemeen karakter |
| Ghorepani Poon-heuvel | 4 om 7 dagen | Poon Hill about 3,210 m / 10,531 ft | Short mountain and sunrise trek |
| Annapurna-basiskamp | 8 om 12 dagen | 4,130 m / 13,550 ft | Langere trektocht op grote hoogte |
| Annapurna-circuit | 12 om 21 dagen | Thorong La 5,416 m / 17,769 ft | Long circuit with high pass |
| Jomsom Muktinath | 3 om 12 dagen | Muktinath about 3,749 m / 12,300 ft | Mustang and pilgrimage route |
| Sikles Trek | 5 om 7 dagen | Ongeveer 1,989 m / 6,526 ft | Village and cultural trek |
| Machhapuchhre Model Trek | 4 om 8 dagen | Ongeveer 3,682 m / 12,080 ft | Mountain and village route |
| Koninklijke Trek | 3 om 5 dagen | Ongeveer 1,900 m / 6,234 ft | Lower altitude short trek |
The various routes vary significantly in terms of the length, height and difficulty level—there is no single best answer, only the one that’s best for you and your time available based on your trekking expertise.
Accommodation During the Mardi Himal Wellness Trek
Accommodation changes during the journey. The itinerary includes three-star hotel accommodation in Kathmandu and Pokhara and tea houses in the trekking part. This will provide you with different levels of comfort when you’re moving from the city to the mountain area.
In most of the tea houses, the rooms are very plain and have beds and blankets. The facilities grow simpler, the higher you go. Accommodation is very simple and the nights are colder at High Camp, around 3,550-3,580m/11,647-11,745ft.
The dining room is typically the common room where the trekkers dine, relax and spend the evening. Charging and Wi Fi facilities could be available, but may not be as reliable at high elevations.
Warm sleeping equipment and additional layers are helpful to make the night at higher altitudes pleasant. Booking of accommodation can also be provided by your tour team using My Everest Trip.
Drinking Water and Hydration on the Trail
Hydration is especially important on this trail as it ascends. There is water on the trail, but it is best not to rely on it when it’s needed.
Boiled or filtered drinking water is typically available at tea houses; bottled water is at best unavailable in the lower regions. According to a current route information, bottled water will not be available beyond Rest Camp and boiled or filtered water will be available for sale at route stops.
Bring your own water bottle or hydration system and drink from a safe water source when available. During the longer Base Camp day, carry enough water for the planned walking period.
What to Pack for a Mardi Himal Yoga Trek
For a yoga-centric mountain excursion, you’ll need to get a few pieces of gear for the yoga practice in addition to regular trekking gear. You should not be carrying too much as you will be walking for several hours in a row day after day.
Kleding
Useful items are light trekking shirts, trekking trousers, thermal layers, fleece, a warm insulated jacket, a waterproof jacket and extra socks. The temperature drops quickly high up at High Camp and higher.
Schoeisel
Wear sturdy, well-fitting trekking boots. Carry a pair of lightweight sandals or similar shoes for use around the tea houses.
Yoga and wellness items
Pack comfortable lightweight clothing that has enough room for movement. There’s also a small personal towel that can come in handy after practice.
Andere benodigdheden
Carry sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, gloves, a headlamp, a reusable water bottle, personal medicines, basic toiletries, a power bank and necessary documents.
At higher elevations, 3,550 – 3,580 m / 11,647 – 11,745 ft, it is more essential to have warm clothing than to have a very light pack.
Altitude Sickness and High Altitude Safety
Trekkers may suffer from altitude sickness if they climb too fast and symptoms should not be ignored. Common early symptoms can include headache, nausea, dizziness, unusual tiredness and loss of appetite.
The peak of the route is around 4,500 m / 14,764 ft, which means that even though the route is short, an awareness of altitude is required. Slow walking, adequate hydration, proper nutrition and a gradual transition are the best methods.
Important safety points
- Report symptoms early: If you feel unwell, let your guide know; don’t try to pretend.
- Avoid pushing through severe symptoms: further ascent will aggravate symptoms of altitude illness.
- Descend if needed: If there is a significant deterioration, descend and seek medical help.
- Rest appropriately: Do not turn the yoga sessions into strenuous exercise when you are tired or experiencing altitude symptoms.
- Follow your guide’s suggestions: The guide can be watching your condition and make decisions on when the schedule needs to be adjusted.
The Base Camp day is long but must be taken in a conservative manner as it ascends to about 4500 m / 14764 ft before it descends.
Mobiel netwerk, internet en oplaadfaciliteiten
As the trail goes uphill, the connectivity and internet access change. There are multiple settlements with coverage, but not all the way along the route. It is not recommended to rely on a mobile connection that is constantly on during the higher parts.
The current route information states that Wi-Fi and electricity are provided at many stops until High Camp and that power and weather may impact reliability. Typically, charging points are not in each room, but in communal dining spaces.
Download important information before leaving Pokhara and keep your phone on low power mode when necessary. A power bank can be used for phones, cameras and other vital items.
