Introduction to Mohare Danda Trek
The Mohare Danda Trek is a community-based journey in the Annapurna region, taking you from Galeshwor through Bans Kharka, Nagi, and Mohare Danda before continuing to Ghorepani and Poon Hill. The trail passes through forested hills, farmland, and mountain settlements, with accommodation in local homestays and community lodges along the way.
At Mohare Danda (3,300 m), the route reaches its highest point, with views extending toward the Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre, Nilgiri, and Tukuche ranges. The journey also provides opportunities to experience village life and learn about community-based tourism in the surrounding settlements.
After Mohare Danda, the trail continues to Ghorepani and Poon Hill (3,210 m), where an early-morning hike offers a memorable sunrise over the surrounding mountains. The trek then descends through Ulleri to Tikhedhunga, followed by a drive back to Pokhara.
Our Mohare Danda Trek is a good choice for travelers who want to explore a less-traveled part of the Annapurna region while combining mountain scenery, village experiences, and the popular Poon Hill viewpoint in one journey.
