Mardi Himal + Everest Pass + Annapurna Circuit Mega Trek:
This mega trek mixes many dream trails of Nepal. It feels like the whole Himalaya put in one long, big journey. Sometimes the trail is easy and sometimes so hard that my legs cry a little bit, but my heart feels happy. People go for this because they want all the experience in one go. It has quiet forests, high mountain passes, small villages, cliffy trails, heavy wind, bright sunrises, and many smiles from locals. Trekkers feel like the world becomes slow and gentle during a walk.
This article shares all the main treks inside this combo. And write in a simple but flowing way. Sometimes short, sometimes big, all naturally mixed.
Overview of This Mega Journey
This mega journey is like a mountain buffet. You touch three powerful treks of Nepal: Annapurna Circuit, Everest Three Pass Trek, and Mardi Himal Trek. Many trekkers feel that doing them separately takes a long time, but combining them in one adventure brings the biggest power. It feels crazy but also super beautiful. The path changes again and again. One day you walk in a calm forest. The next day you climb a super high pass where the air is thin and breathing becomes like small gasps. And later, you walk a ridge so narrow that you feel the sky close like a friend.
This trek is not soft. It needs strong legs, a mind, and also a love for mountains.
Why Choose a Combined Mega Trek?
Because the world is big and life is short. Many people want to see maximum beauty in a limited time. Also, each trek gives a different flavor. Mardi Himal gives a ridge feeling and fresh forest. Everest Pass gives a tough challenge, with big 8000 m peaks standing like giant walls. The Annapurna Circuit gives a full cultural mix and desert-type land on the Mustang side. When combined, it feels like a complete story.
Also, you get a deeper connection with Nepali people because you stay in many villages.
Annapurna Circuit Trek
The Annapurna Circuit Trek is an old and famous one. It feels royal because the trail is long and goes around the whole Annapurna massif. You start from lower green land where rice fields shine. Then you go step by step to the Manang region, where the air is dry. Houses are made from stones, and people smile simply. Many trekkers stop for acclimatization because height goes up fast.
Then the biggest challenge: Thorong La Pass. It stands at 5416 m, and the morning wind is so cold that water bottles freeze a little. But the view is too great. Big peaks look like they shine silver and gold together. After crossing, you reach Muktinath, which is a holy place for Hindus and Buddhists. Many pilgrims come here. The trail later moved to Jomsom and then to Tatopani, where hot springs waited like warm hugs.
The Annapurna Circuit gives a complete taste: forest, desert, snow, river, and culture.
Everest Three Pass Trek

Now this part is completely different. The Everest Three Pass Trek is one of the hardest treks in Nepal. Many people were scared but also excited. It has three high passes: Kongma La, Cho La, and Renjo La. Each pass shows a different face of the Everest region. When you walk here, the air is thin and steps become slow. But the mountains are huge, so close that it feels unreal.
Kongma La feels wild; there are not many people. Cho La is icy and dramatic. Renjo La gives one of the best views of the whole Gokyo valley. You see a turquoise lake shining like a big gem. And Everest standing at the back like a king. Also, you pass through small Sherpa villages. Houses decorated with prayer flags, kids running with bright cheeks, and yaks moving slowly on the trail. Everything feels peaceful even when the trek is tough.
After long days, when you reach Everest Base Camp, your heart becomes soft. The big Khumbu Icefall looks scary but beautiful.
Mardi Himal Trek

The Mardi Himal Trek is small but super pretty. It is short compared to others but very sweet. The trail climbs through thick forest where moss and ferns glow like a green carpet. Small teahouses hide between trees like secret homes. Then suddenly, after the forest, the ridge opens wide. You see Machhapuchhre so close that it feels like a giant mirror shining.
This trek is famous for sunrise. The light touch peaks slowly and changes colors from pink to yellow. Every trekker stops walking and just looks. The path to Mardi High Camp is a little narrow but safe. Then from the viewpoint you see the whole Annapurna range in front like a big picture.
This trek adds a soft feeling to the mega journey. It relaxes my mind after Everest passes.
Difficulty Level of the Mega Trek
This combined trek is very hard. Not small, hard. Real hard. Because you mix the high pass of Everest with the high pass of Annapurna and then the steep ridge of Mardi. But if someone prepares properly, then the body will adjust slowly. You need stamina. You need a positive mind. And you need proper rest days. Sometimes you feel tired, sometimes you have a headache, but with a slow pace, everything is possible.
Best Time to Do This Mega Trek
Most people choose autumn (Sep–Nov) or spring (Mar–May). The sky is clear. The weather is stable. Trails safe. Winter makes Everest Pass too icy. Monsoon makes Mardi Himal too slippery. So it’s better to choose a strong season, especially for a long combined trek.
Culture and Local Experience
You meet many cultures. Gurung culture in Mardi Himal, Sherpa culture in Everest, and Thakali and Manangi culture in the Annapurna region. Food also changes. Dal bhat remains common but tastes different in each area. People welcome trekkers with warm eyes. Prayer wheels, mani walls, monasteries, and small temples all show different spiritual sides of Nepal.
Accommodation and Food
Every region has a teahouse system. Rooms are not luxury but warm enough. Food is basic but strong for energy. Dal bhat, noodles, soup, fried rice, and potato dishes. In the Everest region, foods are a bit expensive because everything is carried by porters or yaks. In the Annapurna and Mardi regions, food is cheaper and tastier because of easy access.
Safety Tips and Altitude
Altitude is the biggest challenge. You need to go slow and drink enough water. Take rest days in Manang for Annapurna and in Gokyo or Dingboche for Everest. Listen, buddy. If you feel dizzy, go down. No shame. The mountain is always waiting.
The weather is also unpredictable. Carry a warm jacket, gloves, a headlamp, and a rain cover.
