Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek throughout the Year
Spring Season (March to May)
This is one of the best times of the year for anyone to trek in the Mardi Himal region or in Nepal generally. In spring, Rhododendrons are on their prime display turning the forest Red, Pink and White. The mountains are also visible which provide magnificent sunrise and sunsets. In Mardi Himal Trekking spring generally means you have Rhododendron forests for a few days and giants of Himalayas on the upper section with clear blue sky.
Summer Season (June to August)
Best thing about trekking in the summer season is the blooming wild flowers and greenery around the region. With monsoon the grass turns greener and with clouds wandering around the hide and seek with Annapurna Range becomes more fascinating.
But, you might have to deal with leeches on the trail up to 2,800 meters and frequent rainfall might cause extra problems during your hike. But if you decide to trek during summer you may not see many travelers making it an "off the beaten"
Autumn Season (September to November)
With many travelers on the route, autumn is another best season to trek in Mardi Himal. The beginning and last section of the trek has a unique terraced rice fields view with the Himalayas in the background. If you plan to trek during this period you may also get the opportunity to celebrate two of the biggest festivals of Nepal.
Moreover, with an extraordinary view, good weather, less wind and chance to experience local festivals this season is preferred by everyone.
Winter Season (December to February)
Mardi Himal Route turns into a winter wonderland. There is generally snow on the trail above high camp (3,555 m). The mountains are covered with snow which creates a wonderful sight for trekkers during the winter season. You have to face cold nights and below freezing temperatures if you desire to trek during this season.
Nevertheless, Mardi Himal Trek during winter is suitable for people who want to add up the challenge. All those cold nights and snowy trails will be compensated by a wonderful view of Annapurna Region.
