Mohare Danda (3300 M) or Mohare Hill is a viewpoint in the Annapurna region. This trek is also an alternative to the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek. It follows an alternative trekking route up from Pokhara to Banskharka along with Nangi and Mohare. Which lies between Beni and Jomsom along the world’s deepest gorge between two high mountains Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. This trek provides a lifetime experience of Natural heritages like forests of oak, rhododendron, and a panoramic view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. The view of South Annapurna is in front and the fishtail is to the east.

Mohare Danda Trek is a new experience as it is an alternative route to Ghorepani Poon Hill for trekkers. Its main purpose is to create sustainable economic stability by promoting tourism potentialities as well as possibilities in this area. Trekkers can get an opportunity to explore the wonderful culture, nature, and friendly people. And it also provides a stunning view of one of the longest chains of mountains. Mohare Danda (3300m) is the closest viewpoint to the massive Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.

What is the weather & temperature like in trekking?

Spring – March / April / May / June

Spring happens to be one of the best times of the year to visit the Annapurna region, although because of this, it can become somewhat crowded. The beautiful clear blue sky can be seen and the many different species of flowers are visible at the lower altitude. During springtime, the average temperature is 20 degrees C (68 Degrees F), with a maximum of 25 degrees C (77 Degrees F), during sunny days and a minimum of 0 degrees C (32 Degrees F), in the morning and at night for areas above 2500 meters.

July / August through Mid-September is Monsoon Season

This season is not recommended to travel as it rains in the lower altitudes. There are positive sides to trekking during the monsoon months as the excess rainfall can provide ample chance to see spectacular views of the waterfall and it’s also the best season to avoid the crowds. During this time, the average temperature is 25 degrees C (77 Degrees F), with a maximum of 30 degrees C (86 Degrees F), during sunny days and a minimum of 5 degrees C (41 Degrees F), in the morning and at night for areas above 2500 meters.

Autumn – End of September / October / November

Similar to springtime, autumn in this region is also a crowded season, but it’s one of the best times to trek. While it lacks the beauty of flowers, the clear blue sky can be seen, affording incredible views from just about every angle. The average temperature during the fall is 20 degrees C (68 Degrees F), with a maximum temp of 25 degrees C (77 Degrees F), during sunny days and a minimum of -10 degrees C (14 Degrees F), in the morning and at night, for areas above 2500 meters altitude.

Winter- December/ January/ February

Winter starts from mid-December till mid-February in this region. People still like to trek this month due to fewer crowds. The average temperature during the winter is 10 degrees C (50 Degrees F), with a maximum temp of 17 degrees C (62.6 Degrees F), during sunny days and a minimum of -5 degrees C (5 Degrees F), in the morning and night, for areas above 2500 meters altitude.

What if I am very sick in the mountain?
Our guides are 24 hours available for services during the trek. They are trained to use first aid kits and have the knowledge to use an Oxy meter. They are very much aware that the higher the altitude the oxygen level gets lesser so to get updated on the oxygen level of our client and to know whether they are fit enough or need extra precautions to continue. Guides carry local sim cards both for Nepal Telecom and Ncell to update the whereabouts and situation of our every client.

Is water provided and is there still water available at higher altitudes  Is it filtered/boiled?
Bottled water is easily available at the lodges and tea houses. You can buy bottled water at the cost of USD 2 to USD 3  per litter. You can also drink the normal tap or spring water if you bring the purifying aid with you.

What immunizations will I need?
No vaccinations are compulsory in the Himalayas, but we do recommend you are covered for diphtheria & TB, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, *malaria, typhoid, polio, and tetanus. We also recommend you know your blood group in case of an emergency.
