We have designed this itinerary as the best of the best and it has become our favourite. Trek Mardi Himal, raft the Seti river and safari in Chitwan National Park to experience the best Nepal has to offer.

First we take you down hairpin bends following the Trisuli River from Kathmandu to Pokhara. Pokhara is a refreshing and beautiful hideaway on the shores of Phewa Lake. It is the stepping off point for our trek into the unknown ranges of the Annapurnas. Mardi Himal takes you off the usual paths and into remote wilderness areas. We trek through lush rainforest and rice paddies up to the ridge named Mardi Himal. We follow this long rising ridge to its summit at 5588 metres (18500 feet). At the summit we are looking straight up at Mt. Machhapuchare, immediately below it's sheer south face. Machhapuchare is known as the Fishtail Mountain because of it’s twin peaks which mirror the image of a fish tail. It is superbly beautiful and is considered sacred to the Queen of Nepal so is not allowed to be climibed. From here we continue to follow the ridge, mostly grassy and sometimes under snow, to our 'High camp' at 3620 metres (13550feet). Annapurna South seems near enough to throw a rock at and Machhapuchare close enough to touch. Finally, upon reaching 5,000 metres or more, the great ice fields and blue glaciers of the Sanctuary Wall lie below. Around us, in an arc from horizon to horizon (from Dhaulagiri to the Ganesh Himal) are a dozen or more glistening snow-bound giants, with Annapurna I, highest of all, beyond. This view is almost impossible to equal and is what makes Mardi Himal our favourite. From here we trek back to Pokhara.

After one night in Pokhara we take you on the Seti River, one of the most scenic and sparkling white water rafting trips in Nepal. Camp under the stars at night, pass through remote villages during the day as you wind your way down to Chitwan National Park. Your safari at Chitwan gives you a chance to see the famous Bengal Tiger and the great One Horned Rhino. Sway through the forest on Elephant back surrounded by over 300 species of bird, cheetal deer, wild elephants and many more. Experience a unique wildlife adventure before heading back to Kathmandu where our trip ends.
