Mohare Danda Trek

Through the lush green forests which cover most of the Annapurna region, the Mohare Danda Trek traverses the foothills of the majestic Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Himalayan ranges accompanied by the vibrant hamlets occupied by the Magar people. The trek to the foot of some of the world's tallest Himalayas is accompanied by the shimmering cultural exhibition of the Gurung and Magar ethnicities as well. Mohare Danda Trek is a unique and authentic experience headed to the Himalayas accompanied by unparalleled landscapes, unmatched splendor, and peaceful solitude.

Our Himalayan adventure begins from a lovely drive from the Kathmandu Valley heading towards the enchanting city of Pokhara. Continuing the ride along the gorgeous landscapes, the journey heads to Galeshwar from where we begin our trek heading towards Bans Kharka for our first night on the go. Continuing on, we head towards the Magar hamlet of Nangi taking the opportunity to take a peek inside the unique culture and way of life of the Magar people. Accompanied by the stunning views of Machhapuchhre (6,997m), Dhaulagiri (8,167m) alongside countless other Himalayas, we head towards Mohare Hill to enjoy stunning views of the sunset. The snow-white Himalayas turning golden with the rising sun is a sight to witness as the Himalayan journey reaches its apex. The trail gradually winds down through forests filled with stunning rhododendron trees blooming in variable shades of red, pink, and white as we head towards Deurali and then onto the captivating hamlet of Ghandruk. The final stretch of the journey takes us down to Nayapul and then onto Pokhara where our journey comes to a close.

We here at Nepal Ascent Treks love to serve our clients with the best possible services. The enchanting beauty of the Annapurna Himalayas has forever been a catalyst for us to introduce new trekkers to the Annapurna Region and with Mohare Danda being in the heart of the newly discovered trails, we are more than excited to accompany you on this journey.
