Here is an amazing opportunity to get away from the usual, more crowded trekking destinations. The recently opened Mohare Danda (3313m) is a perfect alternative. Stay in community-owned lodges or homestays, a great way to appreciate the local traditions and lives of the people in this region. The focus of this trek is to protect the natural environment and to give trekkers a feeling of being part of the community when they stay with families who live in this wonderful location.
The Mohare Danda Trek in the foothills of the Annapurna Region is also known as the Eco-Lodge Community Trek. This region is rich in fauna and flora with dense pine, oak and bamboo forests – especially rhododendron forests and their magnificent pink, white and red flowers. From a vantage point of over 3000 meters, you will have breathtaking panoramic views of many large mountain ranges in the Himalayas, such as the 120 km long Dhaulagiri Massif and the Annapurna Massif.
This trek is also cultural experience that brings you in direct contact with local families in Magar and Gurung villages. Trekkers will appreciate the unique culture and hardiness of the villagers living in this remote region. Their genuine smiles are infectious and their kindness is second to none.
The Mohare Danda Trek is a perfectly suited short trek for individuals and families that begins at Pokhara and heads into the incredibly beautiful Annapurna region. We will take care of all paperwork and permits, and all meals and accommodation are included in the package!
The team was put together superbly, very helpful, supportive and knowledgeable. Met a group of like minded, friendly people- totally recommend to any person(s) wanting a unique, well organised adventure.

I highly recommend this local tour operator! We took 18 days trek to Everest Base Camp and 3 High Passes in November and the experience was just amazing. We had everything professionally organized by Chris: transportation (including flight to Lukla), food and lodging, permits, you name it... The contact with the company was always quick and easy, Chris was super helpful and everything went smoothly. We were even provided with really good and warm sleeping bags and jackets! Our guide Lakpa was really experienced and knowledgeable, he showed us some of the most incredible places we've ever seen, helped us through all the though parts of the trail and was always there to answer questions and offer advice. We felt really well taken care for every step of the way. We're already planning our next trek in Nepal and we'll most definitely come back to Nepal.

This local operator is the best, they rock. I have been going to Nepal since 1998 and I can honestly say that they are the number one company in Nepal. Excellent safety standards, excellent equipment and most of all the staff are so friendly and always put you first. I spent over three weeks with the operator and always felt safe and amongst friends. Chrissy and Maila have got a great team and are well worth booking with.
Unveil the untouched beauty of Nepal's Manaslu region, a true hidden treasure awaiting intrepid adventurers. This off-the-beaten-path destination remains secluded, offering a wilderness experience like no other. At its heart stands the towering Mt. Manaslu, the world's eighth-highest peak, beckoning you to explore its majesty.
To venture into this pristine wilderness, trekkers require a special permit due to its location within the Manaslu Conservation Area. The Lower Manaslu trek promises an immersive journey into the heart of Mt. Manaslu, treating you to breathtaking views of the Himalayan ranges.
As you traverse the trail, you'll encounter high-altitude glacier lakes and enchanting forests adorned with juniper and rhododendron blooms. Along the way, the path winds through picturesque mountain villages like Barpak, Laprak, Gyampesal, and Dharche Danda, where you'll have the chance to connect with the warm-hearted locals.
Dharche Danda, nestled at an altitude of 3,220 meters, offers a spectacular vantage point, unveiling the grandeur of Annapurna I & II, Macchapuchhre, Himalchuli, and Ganesh Himal.
The region is home to Gurung communities deeply rooted in Buddhism, providing a rich cultural tapestry. Explore ancient Buddhist monasteries like Shringi Gompa in Bihi and Mu, as well as Rachen Gompas in Chhekampar.
This protected area also nurtures diverse flora and fauna, adding a touch of natural wonder to your journey. Immerse yourself in the untouched wilderness of the Lower Manaslu Trek, where every step is a discovery of Nepal's hidden beauty.
It was very well organised with seemless check-in and a beautiful view of the mountains. Throughout the flight the crew gave great info on the different peaks & kept us updated.
This has been the most amazing experience anyone could ever think of doing. I have come so far, over 1700kms across this beautiful country, and over 29 high passes and been above 6000m. And not to mention the kind hearted people of Nepal, always full of joy and rich in culture, that we have met along this journey.For me this has been a very personal adventure and the sense of achievement I cant tell you how proud I am of myself. Ill take from this experience to propel me forward in life.The staff have done a phenomenal job on this journey, so tirelessly hard working. Its not quite over yet, still 2 days to go before we get back to Simikot, it makes me happy that its not over! Were now retracing steps back to Simikot and our flight out, its a strange feeling after traversing the country completely in the opposite direction, however this short return section offers a different perspective of the stunning views and I feel its fitting to be facing the mountains we have travelled over.I have been extremely happy with my gear that has served me well along this 152 day journey, its kept me comfortable and given me confidence in all the extreme conditions we have encountered. Although this journey is about to end I cant help thinking of the next thing, future goals, perhaps a trip to New Zealand and a mountaineering course to learn the skills to climb the mountains we have passed beneath over the last 5 months! When I return home I hope to inspire others to get out there, especially the youth, to get out there and get amongst it, there is so much out there.Personally, I would like to thank the tour company for making it possible, its a huge undertaking to organize and execute such a logistically complicated journey. Its really opened my eyes a lot, and its changed my life, when I return home the plan is to live more simply, at home we take so much for granted, here, there is so little, people have so little, and they are happy, and they have touched my heart.

Dil Man thank you for bestest hiking! It was very interesting and very adventurous! Delicious breakfast with fruits in the mountains. Coffee at any height and beautiful nature!
I am glad to say that I did the Dolpo after a few friends recommended me. Booking with the operator was an easy process and they replied to all my queries on email instantly. I didn't know what to do and when they suggested that I do this trek based on my interest, I blindly trusted them on this tour. And I should say, I made no mistake with that. My guide was informative and responsive to all my needs and wellness. Everything went beyond my expectation right from the moment I was given a warm welcome in the airport until the time I got back home. Words fall short when I have to thank them for all the hospitality I was provided. Thank you team out there. I'll be back soon for a similar trek in future.

The flight attendants and staff we very kind and approachable. We went up in the plane and they let us in the cockpit and the views were very good. I would recommend this to anyone visiting as it is a very good way of seeing the Himalayas close up.
Often regarded as one of the best off-the-beaten-path treks in Nepal, Makalu Base Camp is where you are looking for a fairly challenging trekking experience on a less crowded route. Makalu Is the fifth-highest peak in the world, and on this trek you will be reaching its foothill.
The Makalu Base Camp is part of the Makalu-Barun Valley in Sankhuwasabha district of Nepal. It is a glacier valley in the Himalayas, offering stunning views of several mountain peaks such as Everest, Lhotse, Baruntse, Chamlang and, of course, Makalu.
Since not many foreign travelers visit Makalu Base Camp, you can expect to see and experience authentic mountain culture and traditions. But Makalu does test the trekkers to their absolute limit before offering itself. Along the way you will journey through the lush forests, tiny mountain hamlets, meadows and waterfalls. And if you are lucky, you might even chance upon the local wildlife including the elusive red panda and even leopards.
This 14-day Makalu Base Camp itinerary is therefore a unique blend of breathtaking nature, culture and adventure.
Please see the itinerary section for more details about the trek.
