  1. Mardi Himal Base Camp Trek
    Mardi Himal Base Camp trek is a best experience of South Asia. The started from pokhara and end in Pokhara. Pokhara is a beautiful city situated bank of phewa lake.
    Six days trek, every day we walked five/six hours. We walked through the jungle, Village, farm, water falls and mountain. Our trek was unforgetable. The mountains views are golden colour at sun rising and sun set time. Buddhist culture and Gurung people are the most beautiful part of Mardi Himal Base Camp trek.
