The off beaten path leads us through the pine, evergreen shrub juniper and the dense rhododendron forest with turbulent rivers making the delightful sound.  About 2-8 hours walk will take you to Low Camp (2,990 m) from Australian base Camp and continuous 6-7 hours day hike through the old stone-built villages, you will finally step at the Mardi Himal Base Camp at 4,500 m. It is a five-day long journey. Since the trekkers get adequate time to rest in this trek, acclimatization will not be an issue plus it is normally 3-4 hours of walk every day which is normal even to the new trekkers.
