In April 2022 I did Mardi Himal Trek with Dawa, it took ten days.
Himalayan Wander Walkers and especially Dawa did an excellent job! Dawa is a very friendly, helpful person with a lot of knowledge. He did the planning and organization (e.g. permits, equipment) and could always answer my questions in advance or during the trek. When I had some stomach problems during the trek, he looked out for me and gave me some tips and advice to recover. I enjoyed chatting and spending time with him and for me, he became a friend.
We met in Kathmandu and took the bus to get to Pokhara, where we spent one night.
We started our trek at the next morning, walking up a lot of stairs trough the jungle, accompanied with lovely jungle sounds and many Butterflies (I felt like I was in a Disney movie). In total we hiked up to around 4200 m. For View Camp -where to see Mardi Himal and may other mountains- we woke up in the night, to walk up and see the sunrise. I absolutely loved our last stop, Lwang Gurung village! It was nice to see a lovely village and some culture. A nice last stop and place to calm down and have a hot shower.
I can absolutely recommend Himalayan Wander Walkers and also Mardi Himal Trek.
It was one the most amazing things I’ve done and seen in my life so far and I miss Dawa, trekking and Nepal :)
Looking forward to come back,
thanks you and best regards from Germany!
