Best Time 

You might be confused about when to book the trek, right? We understand your concern and, thus, want to suggest some of the best times for the Mohare Danda Trek with Poon Hill. 

The ideal time for the trek is on any date in March-May and then September- November. These months fall under the seasons of spring and autumn, which are the best in Nepal. 

Hikers can experience the trek to the fullest as the weather conditions are favorable and the skies are clear. On the other hand, if you choose dates in Monsoon and winter, you'll face heavy rainfall and snowfall, which can affect your overall trekking experience. 

Therefore, we recommend you choose only the best time.

The Mohare Danda Trek is moderately difficult. It has many uphill, downhill, and mixed terrains, so you must have excellent physical fitness. 

To maintain a healthy body, you should exercise regularly and also include healthy food in your diet. If you maintain a healthy body, you can easily complete the trek. 

The maximum elevation is 3300m. At this height, there is a low risk of altitude sickness. Our trekking guides will guide you throughout the way and help you accommodate the altitude. In addition, the guides will also provide instructions based on walking pace and breathing pattern.
