Three treks come up again and again when people ask Holy Kailash Tours where to start: Annapurna Base Camp, Everest Base Camp, and Mardi Himal. Each one hits a different kind of traveler.
Annapurna Base Camp takes about 7 to 12 days, depending on the route, and passes through Gurung villages, rhododendron forests, and hot springs at Jhinu Danda before reaching the base camp itself, surrounded on all sides by Annapurna's peaks.
Everest Base Camp is the bigger commitment, usually 12 to 14 days, with a flight into Lukla and a slow climb through Namche Bazaar and Tengboche Monastery before the final push to Base Camp. Altitude is the real challenge here, not distance.
Mardi Himal is the shorter option, around 5 to 7 days, and it tends to be quieter than the other two since it sees far less foot traffic. The ridge walk up to Mardi Himal viewpoint offers close-up views of Machapuchare without the crowds you'd find on the main Annapurna circuit.
People usually pick based on the time available and how much altitude they want to handle. All three run with experienced guides and proper acclimatization built into the schedule.
