Day 2 : Kathmandu to Pokhara, Drive to Kande and Trek to Australian Camp

Today, travel from Kathmandu to Pokhara by tourist bus or flight. After reaching Pokhara, continue by private vehicle to Kande, the trek's starting point. From Kande, the trail climbs through beautiful villages, terraced fields, and rhododendron forests toward Australian Camp.
Australian Camp is a scenic hilltop settlement offering beautiful views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), and surrounding mountains. The short first-day walk lets you start the trek gradually without excessive physical strain.
Enjoy the peaceful mountain atmosphere and sunset views from Australian Camp. Overnight at a local teahouse or lodge.

Day 3 : Australian Camp to Forest Camp

After breakfast, walk through the beautiful forest trail to Forest Camp, also known as Kokar. The trail passes through dense rhododendron and mixed mountain forests, making this section especially attractive during spring bloom.
The route gradually gains elevation as it passes through peaceful woodland, with occasional openings that offer views of the surrounding hills and mountains. The forest provides shade and a pleasant walking environment during much of the day.
After several hours of trekking, arrive at Forest Camp and check into a local teahouse. Enjoy the quiet surroundings and prepare for the higher elevations ahead. Overnight at Forest Camp.

Day 4 : Forest Camp to Badal Danda

Today, continue from Forest Camp toward Badal Danda, one of the scenic sections of the Mardi Himal Trek. The trail climbs steadily through rhododendron and Himalayan forests as the landscape gradually changes with increasing altitude.
As you gain elevation, the forest thins and the mountain views grow more impressive. On clear days, you can see Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and other peaks emerging above the surrounding ridges.
Badal Danda means "Cloud Hill," and its open ridge location offers an excellent setting to enjoy the changing mountain scenery. Spend the evening watching the sunset and relaxing at the teahouse. Overnight at Badal Danda.

Day 5 : Badal Danda to High Camp

After breakfast, follow the ridge trail from Badal Danda toward Mardi Himal High Camp. The vegetation becomes increasingly sparse as you move above the tree line, while the views of the Annapurna mountains become wider and more dramatic.
The trail passes through alpine grassland and rocky sections, with spectacular views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and the surrounding Himalayan range. Take your time because the increasing altitude can make walking more demanding.
Reach High Camp in the afternoon and settle into your teahouse. If weather permits, enjoy the magnificent sunset over the mountains. Your guide will also discuss the next day's early-morning hike to the Mardi Himal Viewpoint. Overnight at High Camp.
 

Day 6 : High Camp toMardi Himal Viewpoint 4200 meter and Return to Forest Camp

From the viewpoint, enjoy close and impressive views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Annapurna I, and surrounding peaks. The sunrise over the mountains can be particularly memorable in clear weather. After spending time at the viewpoint, return to High Camp for breakfast.
Continue descending through alpine grassland and rhododendron forest toward Forest Camp. The descent provides a different perspective of the landscape and is generally easier than the previous day's ascent. Overnight at Forest Camp.

Day 7 : Forest Camp to Jhinu Danda – Natural Hot Spring

Today, leave Forest Camp and descend through beautiful forests and traditional mountain settlements. The trail eventually connects with the Annapurna Sanctuary route and continues toward Jhinu Danda, famous for its natural hot springs.

Day 8 : Jhinu Danda to Tadapani via Komrong Danda

After breakfast at Jhinu Danda, begin today's trek to Tadapani via Komrong Danda, following a quieter, scenic trail away from the main Chhomrong route. The trail initially climbs through lush forests and passes small settlements, terraced fields, and peaceful mountain landscapes. As you gain elevation, you can enjoy views of the surrounding hills and glimpses of the Annapurna range.
Continue toward Komrong Danda, a beautiful ridge area surrounded by rhododendron and oak forests. The trail is less crowded and provides a more peaceful trekking experience. In spring, blooming rhododendrons add colour to the forest, and clear weather may reveal views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail).
From Komrong Danda, continue along the forest trail toward Tadapani. The route involves several gradual climbs and descents before reaching the village. Arrive at Tadapani in the afternoon, check into your teahouse, and enjoy the mountain scenery; overnight at Tadapani (approximately 2,631 m).

Day 9 : Tadapani to Dobato

Today, leave the main trekking route and take a quieter trail to Dobato, a scenic settlement in the higher Annapurna region. The trail passes through dense rhododendron and oak forests, with occasional openings to views of the mountains.
This section is particularly attractive for trekkers seeking peaceful trails away from the busier routes. Depending on the season, the forest may be filled with blooming rhododendrons, and you may spot birds and other Himalayan wildlife along the trail.
Reach Dobato and settle into the local teahouse. The area is known for its mountain scenery and its proximity to Mulde Viewpoint, the main highlight of the next day. Overnight at Dobato.

Day 10 : Dobato to Mulde Viewpoint and Ghorepani via Deurali
