Trip Overview

The Mohare Danda Trek is ideal for experiencing the peace of the Himalayas and is among the less crowded treks of Nepal. Developed by Mahabir Pun and opened in 2010, this trek includes eco-community lodges to connect with nature and local culture. Over 10 days, you’ll reach Mohare Danda, a stunning hill station at 3,300 meters, surrounded by Mt. Annapurna and the Dhaulagiri gorge. You’ll explore local villages, alpine forests, and rivers, with breathtaking sunrise and sunset views at your destination.

The trek is the first community-based experience for travelers in Nepal’s tourism history. Each day, you will stay in local homestays along the route. This alternative trek offers a different path than the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek. From the Mohare viewpoint, you can see stunning views of mountains like Mt. Annapurna (8,091m), Dhaulagiri (8,172m), and Nilgiri (7,061m). You will also learn about the local people’s cultures, traditions, and livelihoods. Walking through forests of oak, bamboo, and pine trees makes this trek a wonderful experience.

Is the Mohare Danda Trek more difficult than the Ghorepani Trek?

Both treks are similar in terms of their level of difficulty. The highest point of the Mohare Danda Trek is 3,300 meters, whereas the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek’s is just 3,210 meters. Both of these treks are suitable for beginners. The lodgings and amenities you can access throughout the walk are the only differences between these trips. The tea houses along the Mohare danda path are inferior to those along the Ghorepani Poon hill hike, a well-known short hike in Nepal. The lodges along the Mohare Danda Trek route are still under construction because it is an off-the-beaten-path route.

Ghorepani Trek can be done in 2-4 days, whereas Mohare Danda Trek requires at least 5-7 days to finish. Because of some extra days, you might find the Mohare Danda Trek to be a little challenging. The Mohare Danda Trek offers the most incredible and closest view of the Himalayan range. In addition, you can learn more about ethnic cultures and lifestyles than on the Ghorepani trek.

Practical Information

Mohare Danda Viewpoint

The Mohare Danda Viewpoint is the major trek’s highlight, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. Trekkers mainly come here to see the stunning sunrise and sunset. During that time, the snow-capped peaks looked golden due to the wide variety of light reflections. Like the Poon Hill trek, trekkers visit Mohara Danda Viewpoint, but it’s a more peaceful option.

Tikot Village

One of the most popular and underrated village trekkers is Tikot. This location offers more than merely a stop along the trail; it provides an authentic glimpse into the daily life of the Nepali people. One can engage in a cooking class emphasizing traditional Nepali cuisine. The experience is more enriching than just eating; participants actively prepare local meals and immerse themselves in culinary practices. Exploring Tikot and its surroundings feels like stepping into a living postcard, showcasing how residents cultivate the land and sustain their livelihoods. The village is visually stunning and intellectually stimulating, offering insights into the cultural and agricultural practices of the region.

Nangi Village

The trekkers will learn about their traditional lifestyle and observe the successful implementation of sustainable development projects.

Mohare Danda Trek Cost

The Mohare Danda Trek costs start from $750 per person. The cost of any treks like Mohare Danda depends on different factors like group size, the trekking agency, the time of the trek, and the level of service, from normal to luxury. Normally, if you hire a travel agency like Glorioius Himalaya, they will cover most of the cost of package deals, including permits, meals, accommodations, transportation, etc. Generally, prices tend to drop when group size increases, as Nepal trekking encourages group trekking for easier navigation and safety.

The Cost of the trek varies depending on the package. Standard packages usually include important trekking permits like the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) permit and the Trekkers’ Information Management System (TIMS) card. However, personal trekking gear, visa fees, and drinks are often not included. The type of accommodation and transport to and from the trailheads also affect the total price. It’s important to check with any trekking company about what is included and what is not in their price.

Where is Mohare Danda Trek Located?

Mohare Danda Trek is located in the Annapurna region of Nepal, in the western region of Nepal. This trek is 3,300 meters above sea level. It is located in a gorge between the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains, near Ghorepani Poon Hill. The Mohare Danda Trek is located south of the Annapurna Conservation Area, near the well-known Poon Hill trekking area. This trek is a less crowded option compared to the more popular trails in the region.

One major attraction of the trek is the stunning views of the mountains, sunrise, and sunset. The trek starts from Pokhara, which is a major tourist destination. First, the trekkers reach Galeshwor via a drive from Pokhara and then begin trekking towards Bans Kharka. The trail goes through traditional Nepali villages and forests and leads up to Mohare Danda, which offers sweeping views of the mountains.

Why Mohare Danda Trekking is Popular?

The Mohare Danda Trek is becoming popular as a quieter and more culturally rich option than the busy trekking routes in Nepal’s Annapurna region. It offers beautiful views of the Himalayas, real cultural experiences, and supports local communities. Here are five reasons why people are choosing this trek:

Cultural Experience

The major reason Mohara Danda is one of the popular treks is the chance to have a cultural experience. The trek goes through traditional Magar and Gurung villages. Trekkers can learn about the unique culture, customs, and daily lives of these local communities. Staying in community-run lodges and homestays allows for more personal interactions and a genuine cultural experience.

Stunning Himalayan Views

This trek offers amazing 360-degree views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges, including famous peaks like Annapurna South, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail). The sunrises and sunsets at Mohare Danda and nearby Poon Hill are particularly stunning.

Less Crowded Trails

Compared to popular treks like Annapurna Base Camp and Poon Hill, the Mohare Danda Trek is less crowded. This lets trekkers enjoy the area’s natural beauty and culture in a more peaceful setting.

Eco-Friendly Efforts

The local communities involved in the Mohare Danda Trek are dedicated to protecting the environment. They work to reduce their environmental impact and promote sustainable practices, including waste management.

Benefits for Local Communities

The Mohare Danda Trek exemplifies community-based tourism by supporting local businesses and creating jobs while promoting responsible travel. Travelers can enjoy the stunning views of the Annapurna range, lush forests, and diverse wildlife. The trek also offers opportunities to engage with local communities, learn about their customs, savor authentic cuisine, and partake in cultural events.

Permit for Mohare Danda Trek

Trekkers should obtain ACAP (Annapurna Conservation Area Project) permit for the Mohare Danda Trek. TIMS card is no longer necessary for this trek. It can be obtained from ACAP office in Kathmandu and Pokhara before the trek. We will prepare this permit once you book with us.

Accommodations in Mohare Danda Trail

Mohare Danda is a new trekking destination near the Annapurna Conservation Area. Do not expect a luxury experience while you are there. The Mohare Danda trail is an eco-tourism route that passes through traditional Magar villages and untouched forests. The trail reaches up to 3,300 meters and offers a variety of plant life. Most of the area around the community eco-lodges does not have modern transport options. However, the hardworking local people have managed to build simple lodges for tourists to stay in.

During the Mohare Danda Trek, you will stay overnight in a local house that has simple community lodges with more than two single bedrooms. Most lodges have squat toilets outside, so be prepared for limited toilet paper. Considering the remote location, the room is clean, comfortable, and has everything you need. Each lodge offers cold showers, but if you want a hot shower, you must pay about 100-200 Rs (Nepalese rupees) for a bucket of hot water.

When is the best time to visit Mohare Dande?

The best seasons for trekking are Spring and Autumn. The temperatures are comfortable during these seasons, and the skies are usually clear. There is also less chance of rain in spring and autumn. The rainy season is from June to early September. You can trek in Nepal any time of year, but the best time depends on the specific trek you choose. Nepal is a hilly and mountainous country, so trekking in the monsoon and winter seasons brings different challenges.

Spring brings cool weather with clear skies, making it a great time to view the White Mountains after winter. The trails in the Himalayas are filled with blooming rhododendrons and other flowers. You can enjoy sunny days, clear skies, and golden-brown forests in autumn. The temperature is just right for hiking and trekking. This season is vibrant with colorful festivals in Nepal, including Dashain, Tihar, and Chhat. While it is possible to trek in summer, monsoon, and winter, conditions can be challenging. Summer can be very hot, monsoons bring heavy rain, and winter features cold temperatures with thick snow.
