How difficult is 4 day Mardi Himal trek?

Mardi Himal Trek is a thrilling, amusing, and moderately challenging journey. The 4-day Mardi Himal Trek demands traversing through narrow trails, steep ascents, and descents and takes you to the extreme altitude of 4500m and demands 6-7 hours of trekking per day.

 

While the journey can be amusing and exciting, it can be challenging as well. The contributions of factors like altitude-related hurdles, seasonal challenges, and physical difficulties can pose issues along the way. The changes in altitude can result in altitude sickness if the pace is not maintained and kept steady.

 

Along with that, the journey can be challenging with active rainfall, muddy and slippery tracks, and risks of landslides during Monsoon. The unstable climatic conditions of winter can pose issues like coldness, snow, and ice which further leads to snowy trails and poor visibility that can make it harder to navigate the path.

 

The journey is rewarding but to conquer the challenging aspects, it is essential to hire a professional guide, and a porter and be equipped with the necessary gear and equipment. The hike to the Mardi Himal viewpoint can be accomplished in 5 days with a comfortable and stable pace but it can also be customized to 3 days by taking account of your limited time.
