About This Tour

The Mohare Danda Community Trek is one of Nepal’s finest examples of community-based trekking tourism — a 6-day trek to a scenic ridge at 3,300m where the community lodge is entirely owned and operated by local villagers. From the ridge, sunrise paints Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, and the peaks above the Kali Gandaki valley in golden light. Every rupee of your lodge fee goes to community development — not to a private operator.

The trail winds through villages of the Magar and Pun communities, passing through rhododendron forests and terraced hillsides. Unlike more commercial routes, the lodges are small, the trails are quiet, and the villagers who welcome you at each stop are the same people who built the trail and the lodges. This is community tourism at its most genuine — the kind of experience that makes you feel your visit matters.
