7–Day Mohare Danda Trek Brief Overview

The Mohare Danda Trek provides a unique way to experience the Himalayan beauty of the Annapurna Region through the Annapurna Dhaulagiri Community Trekking Trail. The concept of the eco-lodge community trek in Annapurna was introduced by well-known social activist Mahabir Pun to support the local communities of the Annapurna Region. Now, it is gradually developing into the best short trek near Pokhara.

Mountain Eco Trails has designed a short 7-day Mohare Danda Trek to showcase the peaceful beauty of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. Known locally as the Annapurna Dhaulagiri Community Eco Trek, the trail passes through several Gurung and Magar villages. It offers both natural and cultural experiences of the Mohare Danda Trek. Additionally, the cascading hills and mountain views from this trail are unmatched.

The Mohare Trek route takes you to the highest point of 3300 meters, which is a relatively easy trekking route in Nepal with less risk of altitude sickness. This means the trail is fairly easy with no major difficulty. Anyone with reasonable fitness can complete this trek within 5-7 days from Pokhara.

Why Mohare Danda Trek is alternative trip to Ghorepani Poon Hill?

Most travelers have heard about the popular short trek in Nepal, Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek. It is perhaps the most visited trekking destination in Nepal for both beginners and experienced hikers. However, due to the crowds on Poon Hill Trek, travelers are looking for alternative routes. Mohare Danda is one of the best options for travelers who want to see the magical sunrise views over Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. Additionally, Mohare Danda is less crowded and offers solitude for trekkers seeking a peaceful experience. So, you can choose either Poon Hill for its popularity or Mohare Danda Trek for its tranquility.

One of the best Short Treks near Pokhara for Mountain Views

So, where can you find the best panoramic views of the mountains near Pokhara? The Mohare Danda Trek could serve as a perfect vantage point for panoramic views of the Himalayas around Pokhara. While Pokhara itself offers stunning views of mountains like Mt. Fishtail, Lamjung Himal, Annapurna III, and others, trekking to a nearby destination like Mohare Danda provides even more breathtaking mountain scenery. Just a three-day trek from Pokhara will lead you to this vantage point of Mohare Danda. From there, you can enjoy sweeping views of the Dhaulagiri Range, Annapurna Range, Nilgiri Peak, Mt. Fishtail, Gangapurna, Hiunchuli, and various other vistas.

Easy Trekking Route in Annapurna for Family with Kids

Another highlight of this trek in the Annapurna Region is, you can easily hike to Mohare Danda with your family and kids. The Mohare Danda Trekking Route is not as difficult as other treks like the Annapurna Circuit Trek. It doesn’t involve any high passes or rocky trails. This trek has to be one of the best family treks in Nepal, which you can do with your kids and even senior citizens.

Eco Tourism Practice in Community Lodge Trek

Our Team Strongly believes in responsible tourism to support the local community and nature. We suggest that our clients respect the local people and their lifestyle along the way. Likewise, always ask for permission if you do not know what you are doing or if you would like to do something for the community. Moreover, dispose of your waste in a proper manner. Do not throw plastic substances other than into the dustbin. Also, when you are hiring a guide or porter, you are already supporting the livelihood of the local people. Trekking guides and porters in Nepal are fully dependent on tourism. Hiring one of them means you are supporting them indirectly for their livelihood.

Travel Insurance

For safety reasons, we always recommend having travel insurance with our clients. Having travel insurance while traveling to the high mountains gives you peace of mind and financial freedom.
