Trip Overview

The 10 Day Nagi Mohare Danda Community Trek is an off-the-beaten-path trekking experience in the Annapurna region of Nepal, offering spectacular panoramic views of the Himalayas, including Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, and Machapuchare (Fishtail Mountain). This trek is an excellent alternative to the more crowded trekking routes like the Poon Hill Trek. It emphasizes eco-tourism and supports local communities through sustainable tourism practices. The trek is often referred to as the Eco-Community Lodge Trek, as trekkers stay in community-run lodges and homestays, directly benefiting the local people.

This moderate trek takes you through traditional Magar and Gurung villages, beautiful rhododendron forests, and diverse landscapes. The highlight of the trek is reaching Mohare Danda (3,313m), a stunning viewpoint that rivals the more popular Poon Hill, but with far fewer crowds.

Package Highlights:

Explore off-the-beaten-path routes with fewer tourists.
Enjoy breathtaking sunrise and sunset views over the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges from Mohare Danda.
Experience authentic Nepalese culture by staying in community-run lodges and interacting with locals.

The nature of adventure travel

Every effort will be made to keep to this itinerary but we cannot guarantee that things may not change, either before you travel or while you are away. By its very nature, adventure travel involves an element of the unexpected, particularly in more remote areas. A variety of factors such as adverse weather conditions, changes to local schedules and difficulties with transportation can all contribute to the need to make changes to the itinerary, often at the very last minute. Our operations manager and your tour leader will make every effort to maintain the integrity of the original itinerary and minimise the impact of any changes, but an easy-going and

flexible nature is a real asset! Please note that all timings and distances given are approximate.
