Nepal has always been in our bucket list, as a hiking destination. There are some many hiking trail to choose from, but in cold December month, the 5 days Mardi Himal trek seems to be the more manageable trek given the time and physical fitness we have.

The flight from Hong Kong to Kathmandu takes only 5 hours, which makes it a not very faraway land. However, the domestic flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara (vice versa) may take a longer time cause flight-delay-due-to-foggy-condition is everyday scenario. We are lucky that our morning flight to Pokhara was only delayed for less than 2 hours. We all reached Pokhara airport at around 1pm, including the porters who joined us there.

We then took a 2-hour car ride to Kande, have a quick lunch at road side eatery, then started our hiking in thrill! According to itinerary, we need to achieve an elevation of around 2000m for our 1st day. For this, we hiked through the Australian Camp, till a small village of Pothana. Everything that exists along the entire trek is simply awesome and memorable. Besides the breathtaking mountains and landscapes, we also get to see the beauty of a much simpler lifestyle and the people who live in it.

On this trek we have approach Raju, the Manager Director of Himalayan Adventure Nepal (https://himalayanadventurenepal.com/), who helped to plan everything on this trek including accommodation, food, transportation, porter, permits and etc. If you do ever come to Nepal, we highly recommend this trekking agency.
