Below are some of the benefits of doing the Mardi Himal yoga trekking with us:
The trek is a beginner-friendly trek in Nepal. Combining yoga, breathing techniques, and meditation further makes the trek more doable. It is an entry-level offbeat trek, so previous trekking experience is not required. The trail mostly goes through dense forests.
You will be constantly ascending and descending throughout the trek. At least 6 hours of walking is needed every day. The trekkers have to be in good shape and health to do the yoga trekking. You can prepare for the trek by exercising and walking.
The trek takes you up to 4,500 meters. It is a high-altitude trek with a risk of altitude sickness. You can avoid altitude sickness by keeping yourself hydrated and taking ample rest. As you practice yoga and stretching daily during the trek, it will help relieve tension from your body and ultimately lower the risk of altitude sickness.
These are some of the early symptoms of altitude sickness- difficulty in breathing, headache, vomiting, insomnia, nausea, loss of appetite, etc. Be careful of these symptoms and listen to your body. If you feel any discomfort, inform your guide.
You will stay overnights in tea houses during the trek. It is simple accommodation with shared twin-shared rooms and a common washroom. Single rooms are not that easily available and cost additional money. You can carry a sleeping bag for more comfort. The tea houses offer clean beds and blankets.
Likewise, the tea houses also offer meals to the trekkers. You will get breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a day. Apart from these three meals, you can buy additional food and beverages on your own. So, carry adequate Nepali cash for personal use. The menu has mostly dal bhat, thukpa, rice with curries, fried rice, porridge, momo, noodles, sandwiches, soups, etc.
You will enjoy the Mardi Himal yoga trek, mostly in the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. These two are the top trekking seasons and have moderate climates. The stable weather allows for clear mountain panoramas. Likewise, the region is thriving, with lush vegetation, birds, wildlife, and butterflies.
*Note: You will not come across any wildlife during the trek. At most, you may see a monkey or musk deer.
We recommend you get travel insurance with helicopter evacuation and medical bill coverage for this yoga trek. Travel allows you to trek freely in the mountains as it protects you in unforeseen circumstances. Mardi Himal trail is a remote location with no transportation or health facility.
If you have to get out of the trail right away or receive medical assistance, helicopter evacuation is the only way. And if you do not have travel insurance, the evacuation service is only provided if you pay upfront, which may not be ideal in an emergency.
Foreign trekkers have to obtain a Nepali travel visa to enter Nepal for the trek. You can apply for it at the Nepalese Embassy or Consulate Office in your country. Likewise, travelers from many countries can also apply for an on-arrival tourist visa, which is available at all entry points in Nepal, including the Tribhuvan International Airport.
*Note: We, Nepal Treks & Tour, are not responsible for travel visas. If you fail to obtain it and can’t join the trip, the company will not be liable for any refund.
