Mohare Danda

The Mohare Danda Trek, often known as the Eco-Community Lodge Trek, is a pioneering model of sustainable tourism in Nepal. Situated close to the famous Poon Hill, Mohare Danda (3,300m) offers comparable, if not superior, panoramic views of the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges but without the overwhelming crowds. This trek focuses heavily on cultural immersion. Rather than commercial teahouses, you will stay in community-managed lodges and authentic village homestays in places like Nangi and Lespar. This ensures that the economic benefits of your trek go directly to the local development projects, such as schools and health clinics. Walking through pristine forests, terraced fields, and engaging with the warm local Magar communities makes this trek an incredibly heartwarming and visually spectacular experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

The gateway is Pokhara. You can either take a scenic 25-minute domestic flight or a 6-to-8 hour tourist bus ride from Kathmandu to Pokhara. From Pokhara, we take private jeeps to the specific trailheads.
The highest point is the Thorong La Pass, situated at an elevation of 5,416 meters (17,769 ft). It is a challenging day of walking but offers unforgettable panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.
ATMs are available in Pokhara, Besisahar, and Jomsom. However, on the mountain trail itself, there are no banking facilities. You must carry sufficient cash in Nepalese Rupees to cover daily personal expenses.
Annapurna teahouses are cozy, family-run mountain lodges. Most have twin-share rooms with wooden beds, foam mattresses, and blankets. Many lower-altitude teahouses now offer attached bathrooms, hot showers, and Wi-Fi.
Altitude sickness can affect anyone above 2,500 meters. Our itineraries feature safe ascent rates and dedicated rest days. Our guides monitor oxygen saturation levels daily to ensure everyone acclimatizes correctly.
To limit single-use plastic waste, we discourage buying plastic water bottles. Instead, fill your reusable bottles with boiled water from teahouses or tap water treated with purification tablets or UV purifiers.
