Mohare Danda Community Trek

Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu, you will be warmly welcomed by a representative of Firante Treks & Expeditions and transferred to your hotel.
After check-in, you can rest or take a short walk around the neighborhood. In the evening, we meet for a trek briefing where you’ll receive detailed information about the journey, safety guidelines, and equipment check. Overnight in Kathmandu.

After breakfast, we travel to Pokhara, Nepal’s most scenic lakeside city. The drive follows rivers, terraced hills, and small settlements, offering a beautiful glimpse of rural Nepal.
Upon arrival, check in to your hotel and enjoy free time around Phewa Lake. Pokhara is also a great place for last-minute gear checks before starting the trek.

Drive: 6–7 hours (tourist bus or private vehicle)

After breakfast in Pokhara, we drive toward Galeshwor, a small riverside town that marks the official starting point of the Mohare Danda Community Trek. The drive itself is scenic, following the Kali Gandaki corridor and passing through fertile mid-hill landscapes.
As we approach Galeshwor and begin the trek, the surroundings slowly shift from roadside settlements to peaceful rural farmland. This area is known for community-based farming, and along the trail you’ll notice terraced fields growing oranges, lemons, corn, plums, and seasonal vegetables. These farms are maintained by local families and play an important role in sustaining village life in the region.
On clear days, this section of the trail also offers a rare and exciting chance to glimpse Mount Dhaulagiri (8,167 m)—the world’s seventh-highest mountain—rising dramatically above the hills in the distance. Seeing such a massive Himalayan peak from a quiet farming landscape is a reminder of how closely daily life and the mountains are connected here.
The walk to Banskharka is gentle and unhurried, making it an ideal first trekking day. By afternoon, you arrive at this traditional Magar village, where a community lodge welcomes you with warm hospitality and home-cooked local meals. Evening is spent relaxing, enjoying village silence, and easing into the rhythm of the trek.

Drive: Pokhara to Galeshwor

Today’s walk takes you deeper into the hills through rhododendron forests, stone steps, and open ridges. Along the way, you’ll enjoy changing landscapes and expanding mountain views.
You arrive at Nangi Village, one of Nepal’s most inspiring community-led villages. Known for education and sustainable tourism initiatives, Nangi offers a meaningful cultural experience. Overnight at the community lodge, supporting local families directly.

The trail gradually ascends through forest and alpine terrain toward Mohare Danda, a peaceful ridge-top viewpoint. Unlike crowded viewpoints, Mohare Danda remains calm and authentic.
From the top, enjoy wide Himalayan views of Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Annapurna South (7,219 m) , Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) (6,993 m), and surrounding peaks. Sunset and sunrise from Mohare Danda are often the highlight of the entire trek.

Wake up early for sunrise before descending through forest trails and terraced fields toward Tikot Village, another traditional Magar settlement.
After lunch, continue walking to Bashari, where the trek ends. From here, we drive back to Pokhara, marking the completion of the Mohare Danda Community Trek.

Drive: Bashari to Pokhara

After breakfast in Pokhara, you return to Kathmandu.
You can choose to travel by road, enjoying the scenic drive along rivers and hill landscapes, or take a short domestic flight for a faster and more comfortable journey. The flight offers aerial views of Nepal’s hills and mountains and is a convenient option for travelers with limited time.
Upon arrival in Kathmandu, you will be transferred to your hotel. The rest of the day is free for rest, shopping, or personal activities.
