I-Mardi Himal Trek yindlela entsha nengaqhelekanga yokuhamba ngeenyawo, emfutshane ukuya kwephakathi, ekwimpuma yendlela eyaziwayo ye- Annapurna Base Camp entliziyweni yeHimalayas yaseNepal. Olu hambo ludla ngokubizwa ngokuba yi-"Hidden Gem of the Annapurna Region ", lubonelela ngeyona ndlela icocekileyo nengenazihlwele zabantu abafuna amava e-Himalaya okwenyani ngaphandle kwexesha elide okanye ukuxinana kwezithuthi zabantu abadumileyo.
Ubuhle obukhethekileyo bolu hambo bukwiindawo zalo ezintle nezinomtsalane. Luvela kumgca othe tyaba ohamba ngqo kwiMachhapuchhre ( iNtaba yeFishtail), onika abakhenkethi umbono ocacileyo, ojongene nobuso nentloko yayo ebukhali. Imbonakalo yanda ukuze iquke lonke udonga lwase-Annapurna South, iHiunchuli entle, kunye negama lohambo, iMardi Himal enkulu (5,587m), apho uhambo lufikelela khona incopho yalo (4,500m).
Ngokwendawo nangokwenkcubeko, le ndlela idlula kwiindawo ezitshintsha kakhulu zendalo. Iqala kwiintaba ezingaphantsi kwetropiki kufutshane nePokhara, inyuke ngamahlathi e-rhododendron kunye ne-oki anomtsalane (anemibala eqaqambileyo entwasahlobo), ize iphume iye kumadlelo aphakamileyo eentaba aziwa ngokuba yi- "kharka " . Uhambo lokugqibela ludlula kwindawo eyomeleleyo, efana nenyanga ukuya kutsho phantsi komkhenkce phantsi kweMardi Himal. Endleleni, abakhenkethi badlula kwiilali zemveli zaseGurung naseMagar ezifana neSiding neLwang, zibonelela ngendlela yokuphila yasezintabeni yasemaphandleni ehlala inxulumene nomhlaba.
Into eyahlula iMardi Himal kukuziva kwayo yodwa nokufumanisa izinto ezintsha. Iziseko zeti, nangona zizinzile kwaye zikhululekile kwiinkampu ezisezantsi, aziphuhliswanga kangako kuneendlela ezinkulu, nto leyo egcina umoya wokuzonwabisa. Olu hambo lunokwenzeka kakhulu kubaqalayo abasempilweni kodwa lunomvuzo omkhulu kubahambi abanamava, lulungelelanisa ngokugqibeleleyo imingeni yomzimba, indawo entle, kunye nokuntywiliselwa kwinkcubeko kuhambo olufutshane lweentsuku ezi-5 ukuya kwezi-7. Luyingqina lokuba amanye amava anzulu eentaba eNepal awafumaneki kwiindlela ezinyathelweyo kakhulu, kodwa kwiindlela ezizolileyo ezihamba ecaleni kwazo.
Olu hambo ludla ngokubizwa ngokuba “lilitye elinqabileyo elifihliweyo” ngenxa yeendlela zalo ezizolileyo kunye nobuhle obungangcoliswanga, lufanelekile kwabo bafuna amava amafutshane, anzima ngokwesiqhelo eHimalaya ngaphandle kwezihlwele.
