Generally speaking, the Mohare Danda Trek is regarded as an easy to moderate trek. It is, therefore, a great choice for people who are new to trekking or for those who want to do the activities with their family members, including elderly members. The trek consists of short and gentle slopes that go up and down through forests and villages. There are no sudden steep climbs and exposure to high altitudes are not part of the risks of this trek.

As a matter of fact, you don’t need to have gone trekking before. Nevertheless, it is advisable that you should have some fitness level. Besides your regular work or daily walks you should start doing some light exercises or short hikes to get accustomed to the physical demands of the trip.

The ideal time is:

• Spring (March to May) – the rhododendron trees will be flowering and the mountain views will be very clear.
• Autumn (September to November) – the weather will be steady and visibility is excellent.

Winter (December–February) is a possibility for those who also like snow, whereas monsoon (June–August) will bring a lot of greenery but also rain.

There are two types of accommodation community lodges and teahouses

• The latter are generally quite simple but quite comfortable at the same time along with offering basic rooms with twin beds. At the lower elevations, the amenities are considerably better while at the higher ones they tend to be most basic but still clean and hospitable.

Here are some examples of Nepali dishes you might sample during your trek:

• Dal Bhat (standard Nepali plate)
• Noodles, pasta, fried rice
• Soups, pancakes, eggs, and bread

All meals are made fresh and are quite hygienic. You can get special dietary needs catered if you give a heads up in advance.

Since the highest elevation is about 3,300 meters, the chances of getting altitude sickness are quite minimal. Still, one should always keep in mind good acclimatization, rehydration, and a consistent pace.

One must have the following permits:

• Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP)
• TIMS Card (Trekkers’ Information Management System)

Nepal Royal Tourism assists you in getting all these permits.

This trek definitely fits the bill for a family outing that can include kids and even the elderly members of the family as there is less strenuous effort and also shorter walking hours.

Being one of the least crowded spots, Mohare Danda provides a quiet and serene trekking experience, unlike Poon Hill which is bustling with tourists. It mainly revolves around eco-tourism and community-based tourism, so visitors will be directly helping the local people.

You are going to see magnificent views of Annapurna South, Dhaulagiri range, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail),

Nilgiri and Hiunchuli and also watching the sunrise and sunset at Mohare Danda will be a real highlight of your trip.

Wi-Fi is available in some lodges (may be slow and chargeable) and Electricity is available for charging devices, often for an additional fee. To be on the safe side, bring a power ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌bank.

Although it is possible to trek without any help, we strongly advise hiring a licensed guide and porter. They will not only ensure your safety and help with directions but also make your trek more enjoyable. Nepal Royal Tourism offers professional and amiable team members.
