The Mardi Himal trek is considered a moderate difficulty trek in terms of physical exertion. The highest point of the trek is the Mardi Himal Base Camp at an altitude of 4,500 meters (14,764 feet), which is not extremely high, but still poses a risk for altitude sickness.
Altitude sickness, also known as acute mountain sickness (AMS), can affect anyone regardless of age or fitness level. Symptoms of altitude sickness can range from mild to severe and can include headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to tell your trekking guide or seek medical attention immediately.
To help prevent altitude sickness, it's recommended that trekkers acclimatize by taking rest days at certain elevations, drinking plenty of fluids, and avoiding alcohol and smoking. Additionally, it's important to ascend slowly and not to push yourself too hard too quickly.
Mardi Himal trek is considered moderate in difficulty, it's still important to take precautions to prevent altitude sickness and to listen to your body while trekking.
The Mardi Himal Trek is a beautiful and challenging trek in the Annapurna region of Nepal. Accommodation and meals during the trek can vary depending on the type of trekking package you choose and the route you take.
Generally, there are teahouses or lodges available along the trekking route where you can stay and eat. These teahouses offer basic accommodation with shared rooms and bathrooms. The meals provided are usually traditional Nepalese dishes like dal bhat (rice, lentils, and vegetables), noodles, soup, and fried rice. You can also find some western dishes like pizza, pasta, and sandwiches in some teahouses.
If you choose a package with a trekking company, they may provide you with better accommodations in lodges with private rooms and attached bathrooms. They may also provide you with meals, either at the lodges or by hiring a private cook.
It is important to note that the higher you trek, the more basic the accommodation and meals become. So, be prepared to rough it out if you plan to go further up the mountain.
