We are a group of 3 having only a short holiday of about 6 days and trekked in Nepal for the first time. We read there would be many tourists in Poon Hill and so we chose the new trek to Mohare Danda in mid-March. We trekked for about 4 days from Galeshwor (1170m) to Banskharka (1526m), Nangi (2320m), to Mohare Danda (3300m), down to Khibang, and then back to Pokhara.
The trek was wonderful. With Ammar Gurung as our guide and Dal Gurung and Iman Gurung as our porters (from Nepal Alternative Treks & Expeditions), we saw beautiful rhododendron, walked in hail and snow in the mountains. On the steep snowy slope, with the help of attentive Ammar, experienced Dal and entertaining Iman, I thought I was flying on the snow! Staying in the community lodges in the mountains, it was freezy cold and it was good the company provided us with very warm sleeping bags.
We saw amazingly beautiful Fishtail and Annapurna mountain range on Mohare Danda. I guess as this is a new trek, there were only 7 tourists, including 3 of us, enjoying the gorgeous views and peaceful environment early in the morning on Mohare Danda. And the amazing views were just outside the community lodge where we had breakfast and some steps away from where we slept. We really had a most wonderful time in Nepal.
