Additional information
Trekking Permits
We’ll arrange the necessary permits and registrations required for the Mohare Danda Trek, including the ACAP and TIMS, or the applicable registration at the time of your trek.
Please keep your original passport with you during the trek. You may need to show it at checkpoints along the route.
Fitness and Trek Preparation
The Mohare Danda Trek is moderate. Most days involve a few hours of walking, with plenty of uphill and downhill sections. You will also walk on stone steps, forest trails, and uneven paths. Regular walking or hiking will make the trek easier.
Previous trekking experience is not required, but being comfortable with long walks will make the trek more enjoyable. Regular walking, hiking, stair climbing, and basic cardiovascular exercise before the trip are good ways to prepare.
The climb toward Mohare Danda is one of the more demanding sections of the trek. Take your time, keep a steady pace, and let your guide know if you feel unwell.
Altitude and Acclimatization
Mohare Danda is the highest point of the trek at around 3,300 meters. Although the altitude is not extremely high, the air thins as you ascend, so maintain a comfortable pace.
Drink water regularly, eat well, and get enough rest. If you experience a headache, dizziness, nausea, unusual tiredness, or difficulty breathing, inform your guide immediately.
Your guide will monitor the group throughout the trek and adjust the pace or itinerary if needed.
Weather and Trekking Conditions
Weather can change from one day to the next on the Mohare Danda Trek. You may start walking in clear weather and later get clouds, wind, or rain. It also gets much colder after sunset, especially on the higher parts of the trail.
March to May and September to November are good months to do the trek. The rhododendrons usually bloom in spring, and autumn is known for clear views of the mountains. The days are also comfortable for walking during these months.
During the monsoon, rain can make the trail wet and muddy, and clouds may hide the mountains. Winter is colder, and frost or snow is possible around Mohare Danda and the more exposed sections of the trail.
Accommodation
In Kathmandu and Pokhara, accommodation is in standard tourist hotels with twin-sharing rooms. During the trek, you will stay in local teahouses, lodges, and community-run accommodations along the trail.
Rooms along the trail are simple and comfortable, with basic facilities. Bathrooms may be shared, and hot showers, Wi-Fi, and charging facilities may be available for an additional fee.
Facilities become more basic at higher elevations. Accommodation can also be busy in spring and autumn, so rooms are arranged based on availability.
Meals and Drinking Water
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included on the trekking days. Meals are usually simple, with dal bhat, noodles, rice, pasta, soup, vegetables, eggs, potatoes, and other local dishes available at the teahouses and community lodges.
Dal bhat is a popular choice among trekkers as it provides a filling meal and good energy for long walking days.
Drinking water is available at settlements and teahouses along the route, but facilities can be limited in some sections. Carry enough water during the day’s walk.
A reusable water bottle or hydration pack is recommended. You can also carry water purification tablets or a suitable filter.
Electricity, Charging and Wi-Fi
Electricity is available at most of the teahouses and community lodges, but charging facilities may be limited. Some places may charge an additional fee for charging phones, cameras, or power banks.
Wi-Fi and mobile network coverage can vary along the trail and may be weak in some areas.
A power bank is strongly recommended, especially if you plan to use your phone or camera regularly.
Cash and Personal Expenses
There are no reliable ATM facilities along the trekking route, so carry enough Nepali cash before starting the trek.
You may need cash for hot showers, charging, Wi-Fi, snacks, drinks, and other personal expenses not included in the package.
We recommend carrying extra cash for unexpected expenses or itinerary changes.
Porter and Baggage
We provide one porter for every two trekkers. Your porter will carry your main trekking luggage, while you carry a smaller daypack with the items you need during the day.
Keep your passport, cash, medicines, water, camera, electronics, and other important belongings in your daypack. Try to bring only what you need, as a lighter load makes the trek easier for both you and your porter.
Your trekking company will provide the applicable baggage weight guidelines before departure.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is strongly recommended for the Mohare Danda Trek. Make sure your policy covers trekking at the maximum altitude included in your itinerary and provides coverage for medical treatment and emergency evacuation if required.
Read the policy carefully before purchasing it, particularly the sections covering trekking activities, medical evacuation, and trip interruption.
Safety and Emergency Support
Your guide will accompany you throughout the trek and monitor weather, trail conditions, altitude, and the group’s overall condition.
If you become sick or injured during the trek, our team will help arrange the necessary care. Depending on the situation, you may need to descend to a lower altitude, change the trekking plan, or arrange an evacuation.
The itinerary may be adjusted if weather, trail conditions, health concerns, or other circumstances make it unsafe to continue as planned.

Responsible Trekking
The Mohare Danda Trek goes through villages, forests, farmland, and areas managed by local communities. You will see people going about their daily lives along the trail. Respect local customs and traditions, and be mindful when visiting villages or photographing local people.
Avoid leaving rubbish along the trail and use the waste bins or disposal points available at the lodges and villages. Carrying a reusable water bottle can also help reduce plastic waste.
If you want to photograph local people, ask for permission first. Please avoid disturbing wildlife, damaging plants, or leaving the established trail unnecessarily.
Tipping
Tipping is customary in Nepal’s trekking industry and is a common way to thank guides and porters for their work. There is no fixed amount, and tipping is ultimately a personal choice.
Many trekkers tip at the end of the trek based on the level of service they received, the trek’s length, and their overall experience with the trekking team.
Itinerary Changes
The trekking schedule is only a general plan. Things can change once you are on the trail. Weather, snow, landslides, trail conditions, health problems, transport delays, or full teahouses can affect the route and walking days. Your guide may adjust the plan if needed.
Best Time to Trek
The most favorable months for the Mohare Danda Trek are March to May and September to November.
March to May: Warmer temperatures, blooming rhododendrons, and colorful forests make spring a particularly beautiful time to trek.
June to August: This is the monsoon period. Rain, muddy trails, clouds, and reduced mountain visibility are more common.
September to November: Generally stable weather, clear mountain views, and comfortable daytime temperatures make autumn one of the most popular trekking seasons.
December to February: Temperatures are colder, particularly at night and around Mohare Danda. Frost or snow may occur on the higher sections of the trail.
A few things to keep in mind
Mountain trekking is different from traveling in the cities. Facilities become more basic as you go higher, weather can change without much warning, and a day that looks short on paper can feel longer depending on the trail and your pace.
The higher sections of the trek can be cold and exposed, so warm layers and proper footwear are important. Mobile network coverage may be limited, and electricity and other facilities can vary between villages.
Come prepared, follow your guide’s advice, and give yourself time to enjoy the forests, mountain ridges, traditional villages, and community-based tourism along the route.
