Overview

Trip highlights:

  • light trekking on unbeaten trails to one of the pristine Annapurna ‘danda’s’ (mountain hills)
  • beautiful 360° views on the high Himalaya ranges: the Annapurnas, Dhaulagiri and Machhapuchhre
  • unique eco stays in community lodges
  • extended sightseeing in Kathmandu
  • stay in Pokhara, the most pittoresque city of Nepal

This trip is easily to combine with a 3-4 days jungle tour in Chitwan National Park! In that case you will drive from Pokhara after the trekking to Chitwan and from there after the jungle stay to Kathmandu.

In the well known Annapurna area there are still pristine jewels available, like Mohare Hill, a hill of a considerable 3300 meters. It is a light trekking partly on unpaved trails, passing through dense woods and then along steep hill edges. A journey that leads to the only (Tibetan ) community lodge which Mohare has to offer. Here you will be warmly welcomed and you can enjoy breathtaking views all round where you feel you really can touch the Himalayas. This trek is complemented by an extensive sightseeing of Kathmandu, its temples and monuments, and Pokhara, the most picturesque city of Nepal. We documented this trip in a video:
