A six-day, community-based trek from Pokhara that climbs to Mohare Danda (≈3,300 m) for sweeping Annapurna and Dhaulagiri views. Expect village teahouses, forested trails, and sunrise viewpoints without the crowds of classic Annapurna tracks.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dawn breaks over a ridge of rhododendron and oak as you stand on Mohare Danda, the wind nudging your breath into clouds and the Annapurna skyline sharpening from soft to severe. The first hours of this six-day community trek push you up through village terraces and through the hush of high forest; suspension bridges click underfoot, and the Kali Gandaki gorge yawns below like a route carved by time.

Acclimatize gradually
Allow at least a day in Pokhara before departure and rise slowly on trail days above 2,500 m to reduce altitude risk.
Pack for variable weather
Warm midlayers and a waterproof shell are vital—temperatures swing dramatically between valley heat and alpine nights.
Carry cash
Community lodges accept little or no card payment; bring smaller denominations for tea, tips and snacks.
Use trekking poles
Poles ease steep ascents and long descents across stone steps and uneven trails, protecting knees and improving balance.
Sturdy hiking boots
Support and traction on stone steps, muddy sections and variable alpine terrain.
Warm insulated jacket
Nights at 3,000+m are cold—an insulated layer prevents hypothermia while resting.
