Today is the first day of trekking, but after few hours of drive. At the hotel, enjoy the morning breakfast. After breakfast, we will make sure all the gears are intact with us onboard the vehicle for our final departure. We will take a drive to Kande, the famous starting-point of Mardi Himal Trek. The trail is pretty good. It will take us uphill and little bit steeper to the Australian Camp 2060m. This is a famous hiking place outskirt Pokhara. We will take a lunch at the Australian Camp and enjoy beautiful scenery of Annapurna mountains and few other snowcapped mountains. After lunch at the camp, we will take a hike downhill to reach Pothana.
Breakfast at Pothana. Today, we will take a hike towards a place called Rest Camp via Forest Camp. But before, we will pass Deurali through the jungle where the trail drops steeply which again rises, we will hike slowly towards the ridge that will take us into the Forest Camp 2600m. Crossing this camp, the trail falls steeply again to catch the ridge that is less steep. Along the route, we will pass through rhododendron forest, maple trees, glimpses of Annapurna South, etc. After walking about an hour, we will reach the Rest Camp.
