Machhapuchhre Model Trek Overview
Machhapuchhre Model Trek is a unique package that provides an alternative to trekkers who are affected by the increasing motorable roads constructed in the Annapurna Conservation Area.
The Machhapuchhre Model is named so because of the excellent views of Mount Machhapuchhre observed on our route. Like Mount Fishtail, this trail is also an unspoiled trail where you can immerse youself with natural beauty.
Trekkers have the option to extend the trek up to Mardi Himal Base Camp to enjoy the great views of the snow-capped Himalayan range, including the popular Mt. Annapurna and Mt. Machhapuchhre (Fish Tail), mountain landscapes, natural hot water springs, hiking through rhododendron forest, ancient caves, waterfalls, discover various species of flora and fauna, and amazing viewpoints.
This trek can be done either by staying in the camping tents or in indigenous houses with the locals in the villages of Lachok, Ghachok, Machhapuchhre, Ribhan, LwangGhalel, Sardikhola, and Dhital. The homestay program has been significantly fruitful for more than 16,000 local villagers.

Breakfast is usually included with your B&B Accommodation within the cost that is evident. For other meals in the city, you would have to pay separately. Often in the cities, you can choose from many different cuisines and varied food services. We can always help you find the right place.
