Overview of Mohare Danda Trek
Accommodation is in community lodges that have been bui lt to provide the local community with all the benefits. The lodges are clean and built to blend in with the village. In some of the villages, as an alternative to the community lodges, you may be put up by a family in their home. This is a great way to get a close insight on how the local people live, and experience the culture and life of the community.
This trek is a model of a public-private partnership for the sustainable development of the village communities that lie along this trail. The trek helps to support the community in a real sense, ensuring most of the economic benefit stays with the local people.
This trek provides a unique and close-up insight into village life in this beautiful area of the Himalayas, close to the magnificent peaks of the Annapurna’s, Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri – some of the highest mountains of the world. Trekking in such pristine and unspoiled area, you are unlikely to meet many other trekkers. Instead, you will meet the local farmers, yak herders and village people in the communities where you will be treated more as a guest than a tourist.
Highlights
- A unique close-up glimpse of the Himalayan lifestyle.
- Pristine and unspoiled.
- This is one of the less crowded and trekked areas in the Annapurna region.
- Get inspired by the local people, and visit community projects.

Itinerary
Day 01: Drive from Pokhara to Galeshwor ( drive 2.30 to 3 hrs ) & trek to Bas Kharka (825m, 3hrs)
Starting from Pokhara, you are driven to Galeshwor, where you start your trek. Heading up to Bas Kharka, you pass scattered farmhouses, climbing through the forest and then orange groves as you approach this attractive village. You will have time to explore this Magar village, maybe visit the school and health-post, and in season, enjoy the sweet oranges that grow on the hillsides here. (825m; 5 hours).
Day 02: Trek from Bas Kharka to Nangi (2300m, 5-6hrs)
You head up through the forest to Danda Kaske where you stop for lunch. Overlooking the valleys, this is a get place to meet some of the local people and admire the views. After lunch, it is a leisurely walk on to Nangi, the main village where you will spend the night. Here you can visit the school, see how the villagers make paper from the locally grown plants, visit a medicinal plant nursery, and a number of other income-generating projects. (2,250m; 4-5 hours).
Day 03: Trek from Nangi to Mohare Hill (3300m, 6-7 hrs)
Today you climb through forest, with stunning views of the mountains. Upon the top of Mohare Hill, you can see the Himalayas stretching as far as the eye can see, with close-up views of Macchupucchre (Fish Tail Mountain) and Dhaulagiri. Surrounded by forest, don’t be surprised to meet yaks grazing nearby. There is no village here, but here is the highest wireless internet relay station in Nepal, providing internet to the remote villages for schools and health-posts that use tele-medicine, linking up with hospitals in Kathmandu to provide better healthcare in the villages.
Day 04: Trek from Mohare Hill to Tikot (2250m, 6- 7hrs)
Continuing down, you pass through changing scenery as you go down to Tikot, a village of narrow lanes and beautiful houses. Here you visit the school and experience the fascinating Mayar dance tradition (the men dress as women, while the women sing traditional songs). Staying with families in their home, you get a close-up glimpse of village life in this fascinating and bustling village. Sit and watch the women carrying huge mountains of grass to feed their buffalo; see the children clutching their books on their way to school; see the villagers working in their fields.
Day 05: Trek from Tikot to Tipling (3 hrs) & drive back to Pokhara via Beni (5hrs drive)
Too quickly the trek is close to ending. From Tikot you descend a steep path down to Tipling, with amazing sheer views down to the Kali Gandaki river below. After about two hours’ descent, at Tipling you are transported back to Pharaoh. (900m; 2 hours trek and 3-4 hours’ drive)
