The flight establishes the mood for the rest of the journey and offers a tantalizing aerial view of the Himalayas.

From Pokhara city, your Mohare Danda Trek begins, and you will drive to Nayapul. Trek starting points are a few hours’ drive from Pokhara, where you start your journey through dense rhododendron forests, terraced fields, and charming villages.

Trip Information of Mohare Danda Trek with Poon Hill

Best Time for the Mohare Danda Trek with Poon Hill

Spring (March–April) and fall (September–November) are the ideal times of year for the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek and the Mohare Danda Trek. The two seasons offer the finest weather, snow-free mountain views, and vibrant natural landscapes that all contribute to the experience of the trek.

Early spring is just pure magic weather for this hike. The air is very fresh and the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains are remarkably visible after the monsoon rains. These flowers are not only beautiful, but they are also safe to eat and culturally important. There are gentle breezes, longer days, and spectacular Himalayan scenery, and all this makes spring a gorgeous mix of nature and comfort.

Autumn is likewise a wonderful season to trek, complete with brilliant blue skies and breathtaking vistas of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, newly revealed after the monsoon rains have cleansed the atmosphere. The favorable weather, pleasant temperatures, and festive atmosphere, courtesy of such festivities as Dashain and Tihar, are the reasons it is every amateur and professional’s ultimate destination.

Heavy monsoon rain makes trails wet and slippery, raising the danger of landslides and leeches. Clouds usually cover mountains, obscuring the views on the hike. Even if the sky is most likely to be blue in winter, trails will be slippery, and the terrain will normally be dry and barren. Most teahouses on the trail will likely be shut down, and the extremely cold climate at higher altitudes makes hiking uncomfortable and unpleasant for most travelers.

Book your Mohare Danda and Poon Hill Trek for spring or autumn to have the best of the most convenient and picturesque trek. Both seasons provide the best of the Himalayas, beautiful forests, stunning views, and welcoming weather to trek, ensuring each step is memorable.

Difficulty of Mohare Danda Trek with Poon Hill

How difficult is the Mohare Danda Trek? It is the number one question when you want to do a particular trekking in Nepal. But the feeling of the difficulty factor might be different from person to person. If you have already had a high-altitude trekking experience, such as the Annapurna Base Camp Trek or even the Mardi Himal Trek, then it would be a piece of cake.

Otherwise, without experience of trekking and no healthy physical condition, this Mohare Danda Trek with Phoon Hill Route would be trouble for some trekkers. So, even though you do not have previous experience of trekking, but good physical fitness and healthy condition, you can easily complete this trek. Also, the risk of altitude sickness in this trek is very low, because the highest point only reaches 33300 meters above sea level.

Accommodation for Mohare Danda Trek

A newly discovered trekking location called Mohare Danda lies close to the Annapurna Conservation Area. Therefore, expecting a luxurious life over there would be a foolish idea. The 3300 meters long Mohare Danda ecotourism trail winds through typical Magar villages and pristine forests home to a variety of species. Most of the trekking landscape of the community’s eco lodge does not have access to modern modes of transportation. But with the diligent mountain residents who were capable of piecing together all the elements in an effort to build simple lodges where their guests would stay.

You are obliged to spend the night in a communal lodge with more than two solo bedrooms when participating in the Mohare Danda Trek. All but the ones near the restaurant share outside the room squat toilets, so get ready to minimize your risk of running out of toilet paper. The place does not look that terrible when we think about how far out the establishment is; it is tidy, snug, and appears to have everything you need. Every lodge has a cold shower. But a barrel of hot water would be anything from $1 to 2 USD, which is 100-200 Nepalese rupees if you want a hot shower.

Availability of Meals on the Mohare Danda Trek with Poon Hill

During the Mohare Danta Trek with Poon Hill, travelers can expect plain but healthy food in line with the simple tastes of Nepal’s rural regions. While food is less varied than on routes such as Everest or Annapurna Base Camp, that offered on the Mohare Danta Trek is healthy and revitalizing, perfect for trekking at high altitudes.

A Nepali mainstay that is always present on the trip is dals bhat, a nutritious concoction of rice, lentil soup, vegetables, and pickles. Besides being filling, it is rich in carbohydrates and essential nutrients, and hence serves a perfect purpose of maintaining a steady energy supply during the day. To most, the dal bhat is the comfort food of the trekker.

Along the Mohare Danda Trek with Poon Hill trail section, and in community lodges along the Mohare route, regional cuisine in the form of steamed or fried momos (dumplings), noodles, pasta, potatoes, and curry-based dishes is also available. Tibetan bread, thukpa (noodle soup), fried rice, omelets, pancakes, and even spaghetti are served in some of the lodges, depending on the availability and the location.

Hot beverages are the order of the day in teahouses, particularly during cold weather. There will be options ranging from ginger tea, hot lemon, milk tea, black coffee, and herbal teas. For those who desire something more potent or just to unwind in the evenings, drinks such as local beer, whiskey, and rum are also available in most venues.

It must be remembered that the cost of food increases as you progress higher in altitude due to the unavailability of the villages and the cost of transport. Although meals are still affordable, you will have to spend a bit more as you move higher into the Mohare hills and Ghorepani.

Mohare Danda Trek to Poon Hill not only provides stunning mountain vistas and a peaceful off the tourist trail trekking experience but also provides the opportunity to enjoy authentic Nepali cuisine. Whether you’re swallowing down a steaming dal bhat bowl or drinking ginger tea overlooking vistas, the meal experience adds a homey and cultural element to your trek.

Permits for Mohare Danda Trek with Poon Hill

To complete the Mohare Danda and Poon Hill Treks, two distinct permits are needed. The first is the (ACAP) Annapurna Conservation Area Permit, which costs around $30 per person, and the (TIMS) Trekkers Information Management System Trekker’s Permit, which costs $20 per person.

The development of the trails and the villages along them is underway, and these permits are absolutely necessary. The trek package will cover all of these costs.

Your Additional Costs

Travel and medical insurance, excess baggage (15 kg is the limit), hot showers, battery charging, Wi-Fi in tea houses, tips for guides and porters, and visa fees upon entry at Tribhuvan International Airport are among your additional costs. Your additional costs are your own, and we are not responsible for covering them.

Expectations for Poon Hill Trek and Mohare Danda Trek

There will be a ton of fun, unforgettable experiences, and breathtaking views of the green hills and Himalayas. When you reach Poon Hill and enjoy the breathtaking panoramic view of the Annapurna Himalayan Range, we are confident that this trek will be a huge success and that every penny will have been worthwhile. Additionally, don’t assume that the difficulty of the Poon Hill and Mohare Danda treks will be a deal breaker.

At the end of the day, you should anticipate a warm bed and a hot plate in addition to being exhausted. You should anticipate being worn out, but you should also anticipate that the best part of your life will be waiting for you at the end.
