Hey guys! I Have added a detailed BUDGET in the description, thanks to Sailesh for the question. I wanted to include it in the video but it would have pushed it into 17-18 minutes long ahahah.🤣 Thanks for your comments! Big Love, Happy Trekking
Hi from Sydney!! I am in my way to Nepal, my country next month and am planning to go on a trek ro Mardi Himal. Super excited!! Also, I highly recommend trek to Manasalu!
Hi! Great video, thanks. I'm considering going in June for 2 weeks for the first time. I love nature, mountains and would love to see the countryside. However, due to health conditions I get easily tired and out of breath. Any easy track recommendations? Thanks in advance!!!
I have some advice for you. Don't go in June, because that's monsoon season and it will be a pretty terrible experience. I also think that no matter what trek you're doing it's worthwhile doing some training beforehand so you're able to enjoy the experience! Finally, if you want a very short trek, look at the Poon Hill trek
You'd get some really cold mornings and nights and some snow cover up high but as far as I know the tea houses are open. as long as you don't mind the cold you'll be fine! I mean people trek to EBC in January and that's another 1000m higher at least so I don't see why you'd have any issues.
Hey dude! I'm from Sydney, never been to Nepal and love hiking. What in your opinion is the next hike to do (away from jeep roads as much as possible but trekking around others). I want to do this solo and not tied to a hike group just for fun. I've heard abc is pretty easy in terms of navigating. I want to go at the end of October into November which I heard is ideal weather wise? I was looking at the annapurna circuit but saw you didn't regard it too well considering the recent changes. Any advice would be much appreciated!
@@ChaseMountains then we have different view on what looks best. For me no mountain trek would have better views than best mountain trek that has rivers and other water actions :)
Hey, very much enjoyed the video. I have time for an 11 day trek, I'm thinking of either Mardi Himal or Annapurna Base Camp, do you have any suggestions on this? Or any alternatives? You're one of the few RUclipsrs who manages to do balanced reviews on the treks.
Dan91 thanks man! Appreciate it. I think it’s probably possible for you to do both ABC and MH in one go, many people link it up and it’s fairly easy to do once you look at a map and check out the signs. Do MH first and then drop down into the ABC trek around tatopani or thereabouts. You’ll be pretty well acclimatised do you can do a little faster on the ABC
Depending on the season, but put it this way it's not pathway all the way like Everest base camp. Your boots will get dirt but your not going to be stuck in big for days, that's the beauty of walking on a ridge it drains quickly!
Thanks for this mate subbed! I'm heading to Nepal in 10 days and am looking at this trek and the Indigenous People's Trek as well. Did you find any need for legit hiking boots? I have them but also was looking to do this with a solid pair of quality runners with good tread to save space and weight?
Hey Nico, yeah I don’t think you’ll need hiking boots. I did this trek in a pair of quite old trail runners with no tread 🤣I’d also love to hear how the indigenous peoples trek was! Please contact me if you do it because if heard nothing about it
@@ChaseMountains Thanks for the quick reply man, yeah for sure I am committed to doing it, for that exact reason you stated above, I had heard literally nothing about it until a month or so ago. I have been planning a return to Nepal for over 3 years (I was there a week before the 2015 earthquake so going back has been a massive goal for me) but my plan was to head to the Annapurna Circuit, but as I thought more about why I am drawn back to Nepal I realised it was the people that left such an impact on me. So I am giving up the personal milestones etc of the big named treks and going to the interior for the IP trek instead. There is literally fk all info about it anywhere, a few vids on YT, but for context they have about 100ish people each year, total. It's home stay's with farmers in true rural villages, which I feel will give me more genuine interactions with the local people - not like ABC/AC treks etc where they get dozens of new faces coming through everyday. I will be def posting pics for sure, my instagram is "_andrewnicholson_" (just followed you) if you wanna see the pics (should be posting once I'm back in KTM about end of April) Shit that was an essay, sorry haha :)
@@saileshbhusal8779 I spent $213 as a solo unguided trekker in Sept '18. I have added a detailed budget in the description so you can see what I spent it on. If you are a SAARC national it will certainly be cheaper, not only because of the permits but in general your food and accommodation will likely be cheaper. Thanks for your comment :)
For someone who has been to Pokhara many times you sure have a hard time pronouncing it. Otherwise great informative video. I came here because of your Annapurna Good/Bad/Ugly video
@@ChaseMountains Yes, research. I did the Annapurna Base Camp trek last year and hoped to do the circuit next year. It's long been on my bucket list, but listening to what you have to say I think I'll be doing the EBC from Jiri or Bandhar instead, maybe with a side trip to Goyoko (any advice or videos?) Your video above basically confirmed a lot of chatter I've been hearing over the last few years, so I think the Annapurna circuit will be crossed off my to-do list. Thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work.

The trek that made me fall in love with Mountains 5 years ago! Great videos
Hi from Sydney!! I am in my way to Nepal, my country next month and am planning to go on a trek ro Mardi Himal. Super excited!!
Also, I highly recommend trek to Manasalu!
Thank you mate for your recommendation 🙏🙏
Good informative video Chase, great job!
at 12:00 the direction east and west is wrong. Siding is actually at east and the western valley you can go up to ABC.
Well done. I shall check out your other videos!
Enjoyed the vid. Very informative and straight to the point.
DIG5TAR thanks mate! I tried to make it as short as possible but there’s a lot of info to share. 15 mins 🤣
Great video 🌞✨! Really informative 🌟 can’t find the packlist you mention though? Thanx again 👍
I’ve done this trek and love so much I want a tat of fishtail mountain. I did a guided trip they were amazing.
keep up the good work brother 🙌🏼
Kavish Batra thanks man I plan to!! Many more videos to come!!
You really get around! Very cool stuff. I'm still just learning and training up.
Great video
Would be nice to know the average temps and what kind of clothing/footwear would be suitable for the track.... thanks
please tell me about Tammana Heritage Trail in Nepal..
Thanks for this informative video. Excellent
Hi. Planning to go around 22nd or 23rd Aug. Just want to check is leeches a major concern on this trek ?
hi! great video! Do we need any permits for a hike?
Thanks for the tips. When did you visit?

Hey, Thanks for sharing! Very informative. How is this trek in late January early February weather conditions? Thanks.

Yeah you can do ABC trek
ABC and mardi trek is side by side
Diff is ABC is not ridge line trek
Does it have any lakes or rivers? Those arr very important in terms of views...
Nope, no lakes or rivers. it’s all about the ridge
@@ChaseMountains then we have different view on what looks best. For me no mountain trek would have better views than best mountain trek that has rivers and other water actions :)

@@ChaseMountains Ah that's great thanks!
How wet and mucky is the wet and mucky part? Don't want to get my nice hiking boots too messy. Yeah, I know, but it's a serious question.
Depending on the season, but put it this way it's not pathway all the way like Everest base camp. Your boots will get dirt but your not going to be stuck in big for days, that's the beauty of walking on a ridge it drains quickly!
Still no accessibile airport 😢

What is the budget??
Sailesh Bhusal guided or unguided?
Unguided
And for a group

@@saileshbhusal8779 if u are nepali, i assure u can complete this trek within 4 days tops within 5000rs
Great
Nice

Tomato Tomaaatooo. hahha thanks for watching. Yeh you're right tho, locals pronounce it pókhara. Are you doing trek research??
