| Description |
The Mohare Danda Trek is a new trekking route located in Annapurna’s foothills and is the perfect substitute to the overcrowded Ghorepani – Poonhill trek. The Mohare Danda trek takes an alternative route up from Pokhara to Banskharka and on to Nangi and finally Mohare. Mohare itself is located along the world’s deepest gorge at an elevation of 3300m, which is why this trek will provide you with the best panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges respectively. One of the most unique experiences at Mohare Danda is to view the stunning sunrise and sunset.The Mohare Danda Trek, which is lies in the Annapurna region is surely a new experience to alternative route of Ghorempani for the trekkers that support Magar communities |
Annapurna Panchase Hill trekking is the ideal trek for all the hikers who have a tight schedule and limited time for trekking. With the highest elevation of 2500 m, the Panchase trek provides the spectacular and mesmerizing panoramic view of one of the biggest mountain Annapurna and its range along with the Fishtail Mountain, Lamjung Himal, Manaslu and Ganesh Mountain standing up close and big. The Panchase hilltop is regarded as holy pilgrimage mountain as there's a belief that the Hindu God- Lord Shiva resided in this Panchase Hill for the meditation therefore Panchase Hill holds the high integrity and cultural value for the Hindu reverent people as there used to be a huge ceremony in the month of March (full moon day) Shivaraatri- name of the festival and in the month of December too. |
