In this video, Kraig Adams takes us to Nepal to hike the lesser known Mardi Himal Trek.​It’s a challenging and beautiful 4-day trek in the Annapurna region that gives you the views without the crowds. The trail is dotted with traditional teahouses where you can rest and grab a bite to eat.

There are stunning forests and the views of huge mountains like Mardi Himal, Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli.

We 100% agree with one of the video comments: “What a privilege it is to witness such pure beauty and power.”
