Today's trek takes you deeper into the peaceful forests of the Annapurna Conservation Area. The trail gradually climbs through thick oak, maple, and rhododendron forests where wildlife such as Himalayan Monal, langurs, and colorful birds can occasionally be spotted.

Unlike many popular trekking routes in Nepal, the Mardi Himal Trek remains quiet, allowing trekkers to truly enjoy nature and the sounds of the forest.

As you gain altitude, the air becomes cooler and the first close-up views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain) begin to appear through the trees.

After approximately six hours of trekking, you'll arrive at Rest Camp, located at around 2,500 meters.
