    Mohare Danda & Poonhill 6-day trekking en more!..

    Last week we came back home, after a wonderful journey of 2 weeks through our beloved Nepal, which actually also feels a bit like coming ‘home’ every time we were able to set foot on the Nepali ground. As we had very good experiences with Asian Heritage treks and expeditions, with this company, while they arranged more excursions and all kind of other arrangements for us over the years, since 2006, (like private transport, several trekking, excursions, trip from Kathmandu to Lhasa etc.) Also, this time, we found it obviously, that for this trip, we asked Asian Heritage to arrange all transport and excursions and trekking again. As we had such good experience with this very kind but even more important: experienced and professional team. We visited Nepal in the past, this was first time we came with kids! This time we visited Kathmandu, Chitwan NP, Pokhara and the highlight of our trip was definitely the 6-day trekking to Mohare Danda and Poonhill. The Mohare Danda trek is an eco-community lodge trek. Provides close views of for example, Mt. Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Fishtail, and we have seen glorious sunrises and sunsets! Especially the first 4 days of the trekking where quite ‘off the beaten-track’. And the first 3 days we literally walked between hills, mountains, rivers and forests of oaks bamboo and rhododendron, completely on our own. The first 3 days we literally seen only 2 other hikers on our path! And besides the people of the local community lodges we stayed, and a few local people, getting firewood in the forests on the way, we did hardly see another sole... You really have the feeling you are the only one there blend in nature. A unique experience. During the trekking we were accompanied and guided by Naresh, (coincidently also an old friend who helped us out in more challenging times in the past, when visiting Nepal about a decade ago) Very kind porter Prem also joined us this time. All the time we felt really welcomed, well guided, and in safe company by their nice guidance and in good connection. Also, our guide explained to the children about Nepal, it’s nature and culture, which made this a very interesting and gave them the chance to learn a lot during this trip as well. We had a bit of health issue and transport challenges during the trip. As every journey, but also in Nepal always can come with some ‘surprises’ or unplanned circumstances. (for example, this time, due to no flights from Pokhara to Kathmandu at the time we were there, due to the bad sights) This is actually also the nice thing about a visit to Nepal. You never know, Nepal will always surprise you, also with some kind of unplanned ideas, and you can train your own flexibility a bit in the meantime as well. J. All the time, the Asian Heritage treks team, where in close contact with us, and very well communicating and flexible, to come to a good solution together. So we could continue our plan flexible and smoothly! We had a great experience and journey. Which has given us and our children the opportunity to (re-) experience the beauty of Nepal and especially the kindness of the people. Sincerely want to thank you once again, dear Nilam and team of Asian Heritage Treks and expeditions. A big gratitude for giving us the chance for catching up old great memories and for making this wonderful new memorable time together!

    Response from the operator: Dear Sandra, Thank you for sharing your wonderful feedback about your recent Mohare Danda & Poonhill trek. We're thrilled you had such an enjoyable and well-organized holiday experience. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we sincerely appreciate your kind words. Best Regards, Asian Heritage Treks and Travels

    Mohare Danda Trek: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

    How much does Mohare Danda Trek cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,353 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Mohare Danda Trek take?

    +

    Plan for about 288 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.

    Is Mohare Danda Trek worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Mohare Danda Trek?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Mohare Danda Trek suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 288-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mohare Danda Trek?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mohare Danda Trek start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kathmandu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Mohare Danda Trek?

    +

    Included: 2 night accommodation in Batika Classic Hotel or similar at Pokhara; All Porter service (2 trekkers: 1 porter); Staff costs including their salary, insurance, equipment, and accommodation; 5 night accommodation throughout the trek in eco-community lodge on full board basis; and ACAP, TIMS and other necessary permits. Not included: Food (in Kathmandu and Pokhara) and all Drinks and Beverage bills; Entrance fees for Heritages Sites (Approx. USD50$ per person); Tipping (Tips for guide, driver and supporters); and Travel Insurance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Mohare Danda Trek include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1 listed pickup location in and around Kathmandu.

    What languages is Mohare Danda Trek offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Mohare Danda Trek?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Mohare Danda Trek wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Mohare Danda Trek if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Kathmandu. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Mohare Danda Trek?
