Best Time for Mohare Danda Trek

The best time to do the Mohare Danda Trek is during the spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) seasons. These months offer the best weather conditions, clear mountain views, and a pleasant trekking experience.

Spring (March–May)

During spring, the rhododendron forests are in full bloom, creating a vibrant and colorful landscape. The temperatures range from 10°C to 20°C during the day, with cooler nights. The weather is ideal, the forests are colorful, and the trails are less crowded compared to autumn.

Autumn (September–November)

Autumn is also an excellent time for trekking, offering crystal-clear mountain views, moderate temperatures, and stable weather conditions. Daytime temperatures range from 10°C to 18°C, with chilly nights. This season provides the best visibility of the Himalayas, as the monsoon rains wash away dust and pollution, creating perfect weather and ideal trail conditions, making it the peak trekking season.

Winter (December–February)

The trek can be done throughout the year, including in winter. This season is best for solitude, fresh snow, and a peaceful trekking experience. Daytime temperatures range from 5°C to 15°C, but nights can drop below freezing. The crisp, clear mountain views are a highlight of this season. However, there are challenges, including cold nights, potential snowfall, and some lodges closing.

Monsoon (June–August)

The monsoon season is best for lush green landscapes and fewer crowds. During this time, daytime temperatures range from 15°C to 25°C, making it warm and humid. However, rainfall can make trails muddy and slippery, and clouds may obstruct mountain views. Other challenges include heavy rain, leeches, and limited visibility of the mountains.

Mohare Dada Trek difficulty

The Mohare Danda Trek is considered an easy to moderate level trek, making it a great choice for beginners, trekkers of all ages, and those with varying levels of experience. However, good physical fitness is required, as the trek lasts 5–6 days, with 5–7 hours of walking per day. Therefore, walking training is recommended in preparation.

The trail includes ascents and descents along a well-maintained path, with a mixture of stone steps, forest trails, and village paths. The maximum elevation is 3,300 meters (10,827 feet) at Mohare Danda, which is relatively low, meaning the altitude remains moderate. As a result, no acclimatization day is required. A gradual ascent and staying hydrated will help ensure the trip can be completed with ease.

Preparation for Mohare Danda Trek

After selecting and confirming the Mohare Danda Trek, proper planning and careful preparation are essential for a successful trip. Although this trek is considered easy to moderate, participants must be in good physical and mental condition to Mohare Dada Trek in the Annapurna region of Nepal.

It is recommended to engage in some training before the trek like practice walking for 6 to 7 hours per day, including both ascents and descents. Incorporating cardiovascular exercises such as running, swimming, yoga, jogging, and cycling can help improve stamina, enhance breathing, and increase endurance. Additionally, staying well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water is crucial for maintaining energy levels and overall well-being during the trek.

Mohare Dada Trek Cost

The cost of the Mohare Danda Trek is not expensive, as it is a relatively short trek that offers scenic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. The cost varies based on several factors, such as group size, guide and porter fees, transportation, itinerary, and the services you require.

In our Mohare Danda Trek package, the cost ranges from 500 to 1000 USD. This price includes accommodation, food, guide, porter, permits, and transport during your stay in Kathmandu, Pokhara, and the 5–6 days of trekking. However, personal expenses, tips, extra food, luxury accommodations, donations, and travel insurance are not included in the cost.

Food and Accommodation in Mohare Dada Trek

During the Mohare Dada Trek, food and accommodation are typically provided in tea houses along the route. These simple tea house lodges are run by communities and families and offer basic rooms with wooden beds, blankets, and shared bathroom facilities. In some places, rooms may be more basic, while in others, they may be slightly more comfortable, but don't expect luxury. At higher altitudes, such as Ghorepani and Mohare Dada, lodges have fire chimneys in the dining rooms where trekkers can have their meals.

Most tea houses offer a variety of meals, including Nepali, Indian, and Western options. Dishes like dal bhat, momo, noodles, and fried rice are commonly served, along with tea, coffee, and snacks. Typical breakfast meals include pancakes, porridge, eggs, and toast. For lunch and dinner, you can find dal bhat (lentils and rice), momo (dumplings), noodles, or vegetable curry with rice. The prices for food and accommodations increase the higher you go, as the transportation of goods becomes more expensive in remote areas.

Required Permits and Permit Cost for Mohare Dada Trek

The Mohare Dada Trek is situated in the Annapurna Conservation Area, so you need to purchase an ACAP (Annapurna Conservation Area Project) permit. This permit can be obtained from a registered local trekking agency. However, if you are an individual trekker, you can buy it from the Tourism Board in Kathmandu or Pokhara.

Another required permit is the TIMS (Trekkers' Information Management System) card, which ensures the safety of guides and porters and helps track trekkers. Both of these permits are compulsory for the Mohare Dada Trek. If you attempt the trek without these permits, you will have to purchase them on the spot at double the cost (as a penalty) or be forced to turn back.

The TIMS (Trekkers' Information Management System) card is mandatory for everyone trekking in the Mohare Dada Trek. It costs US$ 20 per person per trek for all nationalities.
The Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) entry permit costs US$ 30 per person per trek for all nationalities, but only US$ 10 for SAARC country nationals.

Tipping information

The trekking guides and the porters, play a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and successful trip. After completing the journey, they gratefully accept tips from trekkers..

Tipping is an important aspect of trekking in Nepal, as it acknowledges and appreciates the hard work of the Guide and Porter that supports you throughout your adventure- Mohare Dada Trek. It is customary to tip at the end of the trek, and you should gather all team members— including the guide, porter, and assistant guide— to distribute the tips fairly.

Getting There: Nepal

Between China's Tibet Autonomous Region and India, Nepal is a landlocked Himalayan nation. It has eight of the top ten mountains in the world, including Mount Everest. There are numerous points from China and India where one can enter Nepal by land. Tourist visas for Nepal are available on arrival at all Indian and Chinese borders if you are traveling there by land. There are numerous foreign airlines providing nonstop connecting flights to Nepal if you're arriving by air. Nepal Airlines, Turkish Air, Thai Airways, Gulf Air, Qatar Air, Jet Airways, Air India, Biman Bangladesh, Lufthansa, Oman Air, Travel Dubai, Air Arabia, and Air China are a few of the well-known airlines that fly to Nepal. From China or India, one can also go overland. Please check your flight and get in touch with us before arriving in Nepal. At the airport in Nepal, you can easily obtain an on arrival visa.

Visa and passport information

Except for Indian passport holders, all foreign visitors to Nepal need a visa; however, you must have a passport with a six-month validity date in order to apply for a tourist visa. At the Tribhuvan International Airport and the Chinese-Indian border in Tibet, visas are available on arrival. To apply for a visa to enter Nepal, you must have a color photograph in PP size. Please click this link for more details about Visa Information.

Money exchange rate and prices

If you're seeking for the best foreign exchange rates and locations in Nepal, you may easily exchange the majority of your foreign currency at a local bank or authorized money exchange facility in a well-known tourist destination. The Nepal Rastra Bank controls all exchange rates (Center Bank of Nepal). You can exchange small amounts of money at the hotel if you want to. Because our banks will not take dirty or old notes, kindly bring clean and fresh notes.

In order to avoid the time-consuming processes associated with cards and traveler's checks, Nepalese people typically prefer cash in hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, and other locations. You can use an ATM to get cash (in Nepali Rupees) if you have a credit or debit card. In the main tourist city, there are a number of ATM counters with 24-hour service. If you use a card, the maximum withdrawal amount is between 30,000 and 35,000 rupees at once, plus a processing fee of 500 rupees.

You must convert your money in Kathmandu or Pokhara before the hike because the majority of trekking routes do not offer a facility for international currency exchange. Additionally, inquire about the amount of money required for a Himalayan trek from your trekking operator or guide.

Safety and security

When traveling in Nepal, safety and security are crucial issues to consider both on the way to in and out. We are here for you at all times, and we promise to provide the greatest service to all of our cherished clients. Our guides have extensive training in the field of trekking and broad understanding of first aid items. Because it rises more than 4000 m above sea level, it is essential for hiking in Nepal. Because health is crucial, if a trekker becomes ill from the high altitude, our knowledgeable guide discusses the necessary medications and decides to continue the trek while organizing the emergency rescue.

You must be cautious when hiking trails pass one other because they are not wide enough to do so. During the busiest trekking season, there are lots of porters, yaks, mules, and Jokpe along the trail. You must stay on the safe side if you encounter them on a bridge or in a confined space because otherwise they may force you over the edge.

Safe drinking water

For a healthy body while traveling and staying hydrated, clean water is essential. It will be the most effective method of completing the Himalayan journey. If not, getting sick and having diarrhea is simple. Almost everywhere during the Nepalese tea house trip, but not during the camping trek, sells bottled water. Unfortunately, bottled water is very pricey.

Please bring good water bottles (for boiling water) and water purification tablets or water filter bottles since plastic bottles are detrimental for the environment. Reusable water bottles are a good idea because they help keep the mountain clean. If you are concerned about finding a typical water tap to fill up your bottles in the trekking region of Nepal, they are very simple to locate. It can be found in rivers, streams, and lodges.

Travel insurance and insurance policy

Nepal hiking tours: The difficulty levels of the Himalayas range from easy to tough. As a result of the Himalayan climate changing, there is a risk of high altitude and potential mishap.

Trekking in the Nepalese Himalayas demands practical trekking abilities at high altitudes (above 4,000 meters), so travel insurance is essential. If an accident occurs during a trip and requires medical attention or evacuation, the cost of returning to a city and receiving treatment may be significant. Therefore, you must ensure that your insurance covers the price of an air ambulance, medical care, and any risks associated with travel, such as delayed flights and lost, stolen, damaged, or missing baggage. Your complete itinerary while visiting Nepal should be covered by your insurance policy. Make sure your insurance policy covers hikes higher than 5,500 meters. If not, you will be responsible for all unforeseen costs associated with your trek through Nepal.

All trekkers must send a copy of their certificate from their comprehensive travel insurance policy to High Pass Adventure as part of the booking process for trekking and climbing in Nepal.

High altitude sickness information

Mountain sickness is another name for high altitude sickness. You must be aware of high altitude sickness symptoms since they arise rapidly if you hike or ascend to a higher elevation. Here are some details if you're curious as to why it occurs. The air pressure is the main cause of altitude sickness. Your body needs time to adapt to the shift in air pressure when you travel to higher elevations since the air pressure decreases and there is less oxygen present. According to doctors, If you are at sea level, it begins at 8,000 feet (2400 meters).

1) Types

There are three types of altitude sickness:

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS): it is very common and symptoms feel like a tiredness, dizzy, headache, thirsty, muscle aches, nausea

High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE): it is effect in the lungs, which can be very dangerous and hard to do life threatening

High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE): it is effective in the brain and most difficult to treat and you need to go to hospital attention the right way.

2) Cause

Following are the causes of high altitude sickness:

Generally living near sea level and travel to a high elevation
Had the sickness before
Climbing quickly
Not being acclimatized to the altitude
Drinking alcohol when you ascend
Medical problems of heart, nervous or lungs

3) Symptoms

These symptoms will appear depending on your speed to climb and how hard you push. Symptoms range from normal to serious. They can affect the nervous system, lungs, muscles, and heart.

Here are symptoms of High Altitude Sickness:

Difficulty sleeping
Dizziness
Fatigue
Headache
Loss of appetite
Nausea or vomiting
Rapid Pulse (Heart Rate)
Short breath with action
Blue color of skin or gray soft skin
Chest tightness or blocking
Confusion
Dry cough or coughing with blood
Cannot walk in a straight line

4) Prevention

Important keys to preventing of High Altitude Sickness are:

Climb the mountain gradually.

Stop every 2,000 feet (600 meters) of climb above 8,000 feet (2,400 meters) and one or two nights sleep there.

Sleep at a lower altitude when possible.
Make sure that you have the ability to quickly descend if needed.
Learn how to recognize early symptoms of mountain sickness.
If you plan on climbing quickly, or climbing to a high altitude, ask your provider about medicines that may help.

If you are at risk for a low red blood cell count (anemia), ask your provider if your planned trip is safe. Also ask if an iron supplement is right for you. Anemia lowers the amount of oxygen in your blood. This makes you more likely to have mountain sickness.

5) While climbing, you should follow these rules:

Drink plenty of water
Climb slowly.
Take it easy
Do not drink alcohol.
Eat regular meals that are high in carbohydrates.
Sleep lower elevation
Take a medication (diomax) according to doctor

Wonderful Mohare Dada Trek

18th June, 2023

Me and my friends arrived in Kathmandu with no guide, we met with a few companies but then met Purna on the recommendations of a friend and knew right away he was the one for us. He manages to book us everything for our trek. he is a kind and funny man with lots of knowledge of all the mountains, places and people in the Himalayas. The trip was amazing and very flexible, we decided to change our route and this was never an issue.
