Mardi Himal Trek route reality
- Route access from Pokhara

Who should choose this
- Match the route to available days, not only the destination name.
- Check altitude gain, lodge comfort, and transport reliability before finalizing dates.
- Keep a backup day when mountain flights or long road transfers are part of the plan.
Best planning window
- Spring and autumn are the main planning windows for most trekkers.
- Winter can work on lower or shorter routes with warmer gear and flexible expectations.
