You will start your Mardi Himal trek by embarking on a scenic drive to Khade, which marks the beginning of your trekking journey. From there, you will set out on a moderately challenging trek to reach Australian Camp, a picturesque vantage point that provides an awe-inspiring view of the surrounding mountains and valleys.
