Additional Info

The Mohare Danda Community Trek is possible all year round. It is simple because of its manageable altitude, easy and safe trail and a beginner friendly difficulty. Hence, you can enjoy trekking to Mohare Danda Nepal in every season with proper preparation.

But spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best season for the Mohare Danda trek in terms of overall trekking experience. You will get stable weather, dry trails, bright and clear skies, moderate temperature and extraordinary scenery with blooming wildflowers and rhododendrons. You will get awe-inspiring and crystal-clear views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range from the Mohare Danda and Poon Hill viewpoints.

Winter comes with peaceful trails and clear mountain views, however mornings and nights get cold. And you will find lush greenery and fewer crowds during monsoon, but rain can make some sections of the trail slippery. We recommend you to trek during the peak seasons of spring and autumn. However, we also arrange the trek in winter or monsoon season and give you the best experience with excellent support and preparation.

“Attentive Holiday Tours & Travel provides up to 5% discount on the per person cost if you book for the winter or monsoon season.”

How difficult is the Mohare Danda Eco Trek?

The Mohare Danda Eco Trek is an easy to moderate trek in the Annapurna region. This makes trekking to Mohare Hill a better option for first time trekkers to familiarize themselves with hiking in Nepal along with mountain views. Mohare Danda Trek is also suitable for beginners, families with kids or senior citizens as the trek is only 5 days. Mohare trail is also very safe with established paths through forests, villages and farmland and doesn’t require technical climbing skills.

It also only reaches 3,300 meters where you need to trek for 4 to 6 hours daily on average. This is very manageable and comfortable for your body in terms of difficulty. With Attentive Holiday’s itinerary with gradual pacing, you can enjoyably trek to the Mohare Danda with an average fitness level. Our experienced guides provide support throughout the journey and ensure you enjoy a safe and rewarding Mohare Danda Trek experience.

How is the risk of Altitude Sickness on Mohare Danda Trek Nepal?

Mohare Danda Trek is not a high altitude journey in the Annapurna region. It reaches a maximum altitude of 3,300 meters. Therefore, the risk of altitude sickness on Mohare Hill Trek Nepal is very low unlike the Annapurna Circuit Trek in the same region. Due to lower elevation, there is minimal chances of falling sick to altitude sickness. However, you should still listen to our expert guides who are trained to identify the symptoms earlier. If you experience early symptoms like nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, headache, etc make sure to inform your guides immediately. Also, you must drink at least 3 to 4 litres of water daily, walk at your own pace, rest and acclimatize to let your body adapt to the increasing altitude naturally.
