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.

The village is visually stunning and intellectually stimulating, offering insights into the cultural and agricultural practices of the region.

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.

It offers beautiful views of the Himalayas, real cultural experiences, and supports local communities. Here are five reasons why people are choosing this trek:

Staying in community-run lodges and homestays allows for more personal interactions and a genuine cultural experience.

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.

“Great time in Nepal”

Recently we had a great time in Nepal. We did the Mohare Danda Trek with the support of Glorious Himalaya team and their service was excellent from airport pickup to drop off.

We enjoyed community-based homestays during the Mohare Danda Trek and had a great chance to savor the local foods.

The route of this trek was very quiet and the locals were very welcoming. We had a great time in Pokhara as well.

Thank you Glorious Himalaya for this great opportunity and we will visit Nepal again.

“Annapurna community eco trek”

Great fun. Definitely recommended for anyone who loves nature, crisp air and hiking. A hike that is not too difficult to try, just over 3300m. The mountains are amazing, lodging generally is good with nice bed(which is really critically after a day long hike). Food is also quite nice and simple.
The guide and porter are really friendly, fun and knowledgeable, sharing with us to know more about Nepal, the mountains the culture, the people… although the weather was a bit unpredictable and the rain does makes it tougher to hike and clouds the views of the mountains.
The car journey on the Jeep is unbelievable bumpy and super uncomfortable, anyone with a back problem has to be more careful.

Overall, a fantastic trip and wonderful time up in the mountains

“Annapurna Community Trek”

I have opted for a less busy trek going through Mohare Danda. Glorious Himalaya (GHT) provided almost a perfect route for our group of 5 people. The 6 days walk was beautiful especially at slightly higher altitudes; the paths and forest was lined with Rhododendron and other flowers. Views from mountain tops were spectacular. Maybe because we opted for a less populated trek, the homestay condition is not as well established in the smaller villages we stopped by. Overall the GHT service was excellent!

“Experienced team with extraordinary customer service”

Ganesh (the owner) was a very pleasant man that helped us a lot even before we confirm our booking with him. Even in Nepal, he went the extra mile to meet up with us, walking us around Kathmandu to find some additional trekking equipment, help to secure an accommodation, and even helped us book bungee jump at no additional cost.

The trek to Mohare Danda and Gandruk village (6 days) was incredibly smooth and planned. We had an incredble trek experiencing and interacting with the local culture and natural scenery.

The guide (Roshan) and the 2 porters were very helpful and understanding – on top of being experienced, funny and informative. Overall, Glorious Himalaya provided us with a incredible customer service that made us want to come back for more 🙂
