Overview

The Mohare & Kokhe Danda Trek is a peaceful Himalayan journey, ideal for families and trekkers seeking a quiet escape into nature and culture. Beginning from Kathmandu, the trip continues to Pokhara and onward to Kusma Parbat, where you can access the trail through multiple routes—via Galeshwor–Beni–Nangi village or Banthanti–Ghorepani—each offering its own blend of mountain views and cultural experiences. Unlike the busier routes of the Annapurna region, Mohare and Kokhe Danda remain less crowded, making them an excellent choice for families with or without children.

The trail gradually ascends through Haljure, Lespar village, Sarga Camp, and Jaljala Camp, surrounded by lush rhododendron forests. Along the way, community homestays provide warm hospitality and a chance to experience genuine rural life. The main highlights include breathtaking sunrise and sunset views from Mohare Danda (3,313m), Kokhe Danda, and Haljure, where the panorama of Annapurna South, Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Hiunchuli, and Machhapuchhre captivates every trekker. On the descent, the route passes through Kokethanti, Taprang, and Banthanti before returning to Pokhara.

With its easy to moderate trails, cultural richness, and stunning Himalayan scenery, the Mohare & Kokhe Danda Trek (5–7 days) offers the perfect balance of adventure, serenity, and cultural immersion. The best trekking seasons are March–May and September–November, though winter treks are also possible with proper preparation.
