Stage 4 of the Mardi Himal Trek covers 4.2 km from Low Camp to High Camp, with 584 m of ascent and 40 m of descent. The highest point is 3,552 m. Allow about 3 hours of walking, plus breaks.
Distance, climb and elevation come from the Outest route data. Difficulty and time are estimates from distance and climb; your pace will vary with heat, pack weight and photo stops.
Teahouse at High Camp (about 3,550 m), the last place to sleep before the base camp. Rooms are basic and cold; book a day ahead in October and April, when High Camp is often full.
Teahouse on the trail at High Camp, shares a phone number with Hotel Fishtail. Hot bucket showers and charging cost extra; water pipes can freeze from December to March.
Teahouse at the upper end of High Camp, about 60 m off the trail. Call a day ahead in peak season.
Teahouse at the top of High Camp, about 90 m from the trail, closest to the path to the viewpoints and base camp. Its old website now belongs to another hotel, so book by phone.
Teahouse at the lower entrance to High Camp, on the trail. Call a day ahead in peak season.
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed in a map or guide listing" appear on OpenStreetMap or in trekking guides but have no website or official listing where they could be confirmed. Teahouses on this trek rarely have websites; your guide can check which are open. Teahouses on the Mardi Himal Trek are simple lodges with basic rooms and a dining room; they expect you to eat dinner and breakfast where you sleep. They do not take online bookings, but High Camp and Forest Camp fill up in October and April, so ask your guide to call a day ahead. Pay in Nepali rupees in cash.
Emergency: call 100 (police) or 1144 (tourist police). Helicopter rescue through your agency or insurer. Emergency & health guide
