Amazing trek not so far from Pokhara

February 9, 2021

I did Mohare Danda Trek with Guide Som in early February 2020. Everything was perfectly organized by Jayaram(Director of Base Camp Hike). I had a great experience altogether. From the beginning of the trek to the end, beautiful scenery. Recommended!
