The Mohare Danda with Khopra Danda Trek is an exhilarating journey through the heart of Nepal, offering insights into remote highland lifestyles, diverse cultures, and the hidden beauty of the region. This trek combines two stunning viewpoints to provide close-up views of the western Himalayan range, offering numerous scenic vantage points along the route.

Diverging from the typical Ghorepani Poonhill trek route, the Khopra Danda and Mohare Danda Trek are often regarded as alternative destinations. However, this trek ascends higher than the latter, culminating in breathtaking Himalayan vistas from Khopra Danda’s summit. Along the way, hikers can also explore Poon Hill and Mohare Danda, renowned for their panoramic views of the Annapurna region—a top trekking destination globally.

The trek begins with a 205-kilometer journey from Kathmandu to Pokhara, followed by an 85-kilometer drive to Galeshwor, the starting point. The trail winds through diverse landscapes—uphill and downhill paths, villages, valleys, and forests—with overnight stays at community lodges or homestays. Highlights include crossing the Kali Gandaki Bridge, passing through quaint villages like Bas Kharka, and scenic spots offering stunning vistas.

From Mohare Danda, witness mesmerizing sunrises, sunsets, and panoramic views of peaks such as Nilgiri, Tukuche, and Machhapuchhre. Continuing from Mohare, the route leads to Poon Hill, then to Ghorepani and Swanta—a serene settlement nestled amidst steep valleys. Ascending from Swanta, reach Khopra Danda, a hidden gem offering expansive mountain views in every direction.

An optional ascent from Khopra Danda leads to Khayar Lake at 4,660 meters, a serene lake at the foot of Annapurna South. The return journey retraces via Tadapani to Ghandruk, known for its hospitable Gurung community. Conclude the trek with a drive from Ghandruk back to Pokhara and Kathmandu.
