Mohare Danda Trek- Annapurna Balcony Trek Overview

The Mohare Danda Trek is a suitable option for beginners, as it is relatively easy and leads through secluded villages. Along the way, trekkers can enjoy a panoramic view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. The trek can begin from either Tikhedhunga or Galeshwor and will take you through traditional magar villages, dense forests, and terraced fields.

A small beautiful hill between Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains in the district of Myagdi, Mohare Danda is a lesser-known trekking destination in the Annapurna Sanctuary. The place is a stunning destination for anyone seeking a unique experience in the Annapurna Region. Mohare Danda Trek is a less busy trekking route than other trekking trails in Nepal like the Annapurna Base Camp trek, Mardi Himal Trek, Everest Base Camp trek, Poonhill Sunrise Trek, and more.

Merely 5 km from Poon hill, Mohare Danda Trek is also called Myagdi Community Eco Trek or Mohare Dada Community Trek. The trail passes through hills, forests, and grassland. You will also witness rhododendron flowers all over the path if you do this trek during spring.

Experience the beauty of Annapurna from three distinct viewpoint
    • Rhododendron forests are particularly beautiful in the spring when the trees are in full bloom, and the hills are covered in a riot of colour.
    • Mohare Dada and Poonhill viewpoint is particularly stunning at sunrise when the peaks are bathed in the warm light of the rising sun.
    • Mohare- Poonhill and Ghandruk trek is an excellent option for a shorter trek with a cultural experience. These three treks can be easily combined for a more comprehensive experience.

     

More about the Mohare Danda Trek route

Combining the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek and Mohare Danda Trek into one itinerary is a perfect way to experience the best of the Annapurna region. Also, it can be combined with Mardi Himal Base Camp. The combination of these two treks offers an ideal balance of easy and moderate trekking, cultural diversity, and natural beauty. The Mohare trek route takes you through charming Magar villages, lush Rhododendron forests, and breathtaking mountain views, including Mt. Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre, and Himchuli.

Mohare Danda Trekking ensures a unique experience and a splendid view of the Himalayas, hills, and valleys. Mohare dada trek is accessible for all kinds of age groups so you can do it even with your kids.

A Short and rewarding trek from Pokhara 

The starting point of most of the trekking routes of the Annapurna region is Pokhara. This trek is a unique, short, and secluded trek known to a few people. This route is perfect for those looking for a moderately easy and rewarding trekking experience in the Annapurna region of Nepal.

The combination of natural beauty, cultural diversity, and breathtaking mountain views make this trek one of the most popular and memorable in the world. Furthermore, this trek can be extended with a motive to explore Khopra Ridge making it an entirely new trek called Mohare Danda Khopra Trek.

What is the best time for Mohare Danda trek?

Trekking on this route is possible throughout the year. But, months from March to May and October to December are the optimum time to hike. From March to May, the hills and forests are covered by greenery and blooming Rhododendrons and snowfall generally occurs during this time of the year. From October to December, the weathers are clear with no rainfall and fog covering the Himalayas.

So, this time of the year portrays the best mesmerizing view of mountains and landscapes. The trekking may be hard on monsoon because of the rainfall and unclear sky whereas in January and February, the temperature plunges to minus. Because of that, it may cause some hindrances.
