Incredible Mountain Scenery in a Short Trek
I only had a week in Nepal, and Mardi Himal was the perfect trek. It was short but offered world-class views of Annapurna, Hiunchuli, and Machapuchare. The teahouses were cozy, and evenings were spent enjoying warm meals with fellow trekkers. Our guide Tenzin was excellent, and the company’s organization was flawless. The ridgeline walks were the highlight, giving us views I will remember forever
