One of Nepal’s most classic short treks is the Mohare Danda and Ghorepani trek (also known as the “Ghorepani / Poon Hill” trek). You travel through picturesque local villages, and rhododendron forests, and, of course, receive panoramic views of Nepal’s most famous peaks from Poon Hill – Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Annapurna I, and Annapurna South – in a short length of time. Mohare Danda Trek is a lesser-known viewpoint located between the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains in the district of Myagdi. Anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind experience in the Annapurna Region should visit these gorgeous locations. 

Beautiful mountain vistas, simple hiking pathways, no risk of altitude sickness, visits to several attractive towns, and a short trekking time are just a few of the reasons why the Ghorepani trip is so popular.  In the Annapurna region, the Poon hill climbs are also known as the Annapurna panoramic trip. We organize this amazing excursion for all travelers on a regular basis or throughout the year.

FAQ

How difficult is the Mohare Danda and Ghorepani Trek?

This trek is rated easy to moderate making it well suited for beginners and first time Nepal trekkers. The maximum altitude is 3,300 m at Mohare Danda, daily walking is 4 to 5 hours, and the trail is clearly marked throughout the entire Gurung Hills section.

How much does the Mohare Danda and Ghorepani Trek cost?

The Mohare Danda and Ghorepani Trek with Nepal Mountain Adventure starts from USD 649 per person including a licensed guide, porter, teahouse and community lodge accommodation, three daily meals, ACAP permit, and TIMS card for the full itinerary.

How many days does the Mohare Danda and Ghorepani Trek take?

Nepal Mountain Adventure runs this trek over 7 to 9 days starting from Pokhara and passing through Nayapul, Tikhedhunga, Ulleri, Ghorepani, Poon Hill, Mohare Danda, and Tatopani before returning to Pokhara, creating a satisfying loop with no trail repetition.

What is Mohare Danda and why should I visit it?

Mohare Danda is a 3,300 m ridge viewpoint in the Gurung Hills area of the Annapurna Conservation Area that offers an unobstructed panoramic view of Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Annapurna I (8,091 m), Machhapuchhre (6,993 m), and Nilgiri (7,061 m) from a completely crowd free location that most Annapurna trekkers never discover.

What is the best time to do the Mohare Danda and Ghorepani Trek?

Spring (February to April) is the most popular season when rhododendron forests along the Ghorepani and Mohare Danda trail are in peak bloom. Autumn (October to November) offers equally clear mountain views with stable dry weather and is the second most popular season for this route.

What is the difference between Mohare Danda and Poon Hill?

Poon Hill (3,210 m) is the most famous and most visited sunrise viewpoint in the Annapurna region while Mohare Danda (3,300 m) is slightly higher, far less crowded, and gives a different east facing perspective of the same Himalayan peaks. Visiting both in one trek gives you the best of both viewpoints.

What villages does this trek pass through?

The trek passes through the traditional Magar villages of Tikhedhunga and Ulleri, the famous Gurung viewpoint village of Ghorepani, and the remote community of Mohare Danda before descending through the Kali Gandaki valley to Tatopani known for its natural hot spring pools.

Are there natural hot springs on this trek?

Yes, Tatopani (which literally means hot water in Nepali) at 1,190 m on the Kali Gandaki valley has well maintained natural hot spring baths that are a perfect reward after several days of trekking at altitude. Nepal Mountain Adventure schedules an overnight stop at Tatopani to allow trekkers to enjoy the springs.

Is this trek suitable for older travelers?

Yes, the Mohare Danda and Ghorepani Trek is one of the best Nepal treks for older travelers and senior trekkers due to its low maximum altitude of 3,300 m, manageable daily walking distances, excellent teahouse facilities, and the restorative natural hot springs at Tatopani on the way back.

What accommodation is available on this trek?

Trekkers stay in well established teahouses at Tikhedhunga, Ulleri, and Ghorepani and in smaller community run lodges at Mohare Danda. The Mohare Danda community lodge is managed by a local conservation group and offers a unique eco lodge experience with Annapurna views directly from the dining room.
