The "Off the beaten track" to the Annapurna Machapuchare (Fishtail) trek, also known as Mardi Himal trekking, follows the least trodden trail away from the trekkers madding crowd with and essence of exploration. We ascend through Hindu villages and pristine oak and rhododendron forest to alpine campsite that afford close up dramatic scenery of sacred Mt. Machapuchare, Mardi Himal and Annapurnas. The great ice fields and the blue glaciers of the Annapuran sanctuary walls lie below us. We descend from the different route to the warm valley and friendly villages on the bank of Mardi river still away from the used trekking routes. This Annapurna Camping trek is designed to provide outstanding mountain profile and to venture into the forests and villages that have not felt the impact of tourism.
