Dec 06, 1996 -Dec 06, 2021 , life has been good so far and it will keep being better and better. Do I believe in that? No. I want to work on that and make sure things go nice and wise. This is not the article or the blog, it's the life itself that has been lived under every emotion of joy and sorrows, failures and success, ups and downs, right and left ok let make it quick and assign 0 and 1. Life has been lived in between 0 and 1 with a varying scale. This is not the biography too. It's just one quarter of human life being concluded so that things will look more clear and the future will look more bright. We live on lots of aspects like there is family, there is home, there is society, there is a nation, there are friends, there are supporters, there are critics, there are challenges, there are different times and spaces in between where I have been into. I'm like this because of all the aspects that I have been in to and it's not that important, what's important...
Sometimes "if not today its never " can be the motivation
to travel in the search of beauty. And
journey becomes even more interesting if you have bunch of friends to company you. With the
same motto we decided for trekking to Mardi Himal.
Well, trekking can be started from pokhara if you are not short of time else you can use bus/jeep to start from places like Dhampus,Ghandruk, Sedhing,etc. After two hours of travel from pokhara , Dhampus welcomes you with the beautiful sunshines giving warmth and view of Machhapuchhare. A cup of tea in the early morning adds catalyst to the beauty of Dhampus.

After meal, trekking starts for
the next destination FOREST CAMP via Pothana and Deurali. Following blue and
white strips along the way, you can easily trace the way to Forest Camp.
Tracing the path will lead you through forests with beautiful scenario of
greenary and calmness of jungle. Pothana can be reached with 2 hours of walk
from Dhampus and again 1 hour will lead you to Deurali and with the medium pace
of walk you will reach Forest camp in 4 hours.
It will take 6-8 hours based on your pace to reach Forest Camp which is
the best destination to rest for first night.
Starting journey after breakfast from Forest Camp to Low camp will take
3 hours of walk. With the rise of sun, you will feel warmth of sunshine until late
morning. Mostly after 10-11am, it get s foggy and it becomes difficult to see more than 100m away . Low
camp would be appropriate for meal and some rest. 1 hour of walk from low camp leads to Baadal
Dada ; it is named so as it is mostly cloudy in noon. As the atmopshere gets
less sunlight, plants are yellowish lacking sufficient amount of chlorophyll. Baadal Dada
is special for Yak milk. To reach HIGH CAMP via Baadal Dada to middle rest
camp, it will take 2 hours of walk. High Camp is situated at 3540m and it’s a
bit colder. Water gets frozen at nights and mornings. And it just 2 hours of walk away from lower
viewpoint and another destination to rest and have meal.

And next day journey
starts for Lower Viewpoint, as the sun
starts rising behind those hills ; it seems like sun is struggling to rise and
spray its rays. Now journey starts to Paradise. Rising sun on left, Annapurna
range on left and Machhapuchhre on front makes visit worth of walking miles. As
the sun rises and rays strikes on snowy mountains, it feels like mountains are
glowing. Mesmerizing mountains, cool breeze, wonderful cloud patterns makes Mardi worth of visiting. Eyes never gets
tired of staring at those beauties.
Observing every cloud patterns, light escaping clouds, snowy mountains,
and those beautiful hills fascinate to stay and stare. Upper viewpoint and Base
camp would be better options for glimpse of snowy mountains even closer.
With 2-3 fascinating
hours on viewpoint; meal and rest at high camp, you can return directly to
Sedhing and then to pokhara by bus.
You will need
companions, snacks and dry foods, plenty of water; bottle per person. And
better to walk with heat generating food
and warm water. As the weather gets foggy and it becomes dark soon at evenings,
you will need torch lights, power banks, pairs of clothes; it would be better
if you will walk with light weight. Each camp has good food facilities and
accommodations, it would be wise optiosn if you walk with pre-bookings. Mobile
networks are a bit poor but you will get paid wifi and charging facilities.
Ginger tea would be the best company to walk along foggy hills. If you are fond
of nature and adventures then Mardi trek would be one you should pick. So take
every chance you get in life because somethings happens only once.
