Mohare Danda Trek (9 Days)

The trek is easy to moderate, with five consecutive walking days through hills and forests. The climb from Nangi to Mohare Danda takes sustained effort, while the return includes a long descent to Tikot. Expect uneven ground and steps even though technical climbing skills are unnecessary.

Previous hiking experience is helpful. First-time trekkers should build endurance before departure and become comfortable walking uphill and downhill regularly with a daypack.

Begin preparing around two to three months beforehand, allowing longer if you are starting from a low fitness level. Gradually combine regular walks, hill hikes and strength exercises. Practise in the boots you will wear on the trek.

No dedicated acclimatisation day is scheduled. Mohare Danda is around 3,300 m, with a substantial gain from Nangi. Discuss the ascent pattern and any previous altitude concerns before booking.

Tell your guide promptly about headaches, nausea, dizziness or unusual fatigue. Do not continue to a higher sleeping altitude while experiencing symptoms of altitude illness. If symptoms worsen despite resting at the same elevation, descent is necessary. Your health must guide decisions on this lower-altitude route.

If you have an existing medical condition, seek advice from a healthcare professional familiar with high-altitude travel before booking. Discuss the planned route and any medicines you take.

Travel insurance is compulsory for this package. Confirm that your policy covers trekking to approximately 3,300 metres, emergency helicopter evacuation and medical treatment in Nepal. Check exclusions, excess charges and the insurer’s emergency assistance procedure. Carry your policy details and emergency contact number.

You stay in tourist-standard hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara, with community lodges and a Tikot homestay during trekking. Four mountain nights include twin-sharing accommodation, with an overnight stay at Mohare Danda.

Expect simple rooms and shared bathroom facilities at many stops. The overnight stays are part of the village experience, with fewer facilities than city hotels. Mohare Danda can be cold at night, so keep warm layers accessible.

Lodge meals commonly include dal bhat, noodles, soups and vegetable dishes. Included meals follow the daily itinerary, with seasonal fruit when available.

Tell us about allergies or dietary requirements before booking so we can discuss what can be arranged along the route. Explain strict requirements clearly, including any concerns about shared cooking equipment.

Carry reusable bottles and drink boiled or appropriately treated water. Stream water and untreated tap water may still contain germs that cause illness.

Boiling is the most reliable way to kill germs. If boiling is unavailable, filtration followed by disinfection offers broader protection than many portable filters alone. Follow the instructions for your water-treatment equipment or tablets.

A licensed, English-speaking guide and one porter for every two trekkers are included. Your porter carries the luggage, up to twenty kilograms shared between two people. You carry a daypack with daily essentials.

Hot showers, Wi-Fi and device charging may cost extra, with availability varying between lodges and homestays. Mobile reception and internet connections can be unreliable in the hills. Carry a power bank and tell family that you may have periods without contact during the mountain trekking days.

We arrange the ACAP permit and applicable trekking documentation included in the package. TIMS is listed where required; confirm the arrangements for this exact route before departure. Carry your passport, insurance details and copies of documents.

Rain, landslides and roadworks can affect local transfers and Kathmandu–Pokhara travel. Optional flights depend on weather and operating conditions, so keep flexibility around journeys.

Allow extra time before your international departure. Additional accommodation, meals or transport can cost extra when delays or weather require changes to the programme.
