Breathtaking Trekking Experience of Mohare danda with Eco Holidays Nepal
One day, I saw a post on Instagram featuring the stunning views of Mount Annapurna and Machhapuchhre. As I looked at the post more closely, I realized it was taken from Mohare Danda. I was amazed by the kind of view that could be found in Nepal. Curious, I searched on Google and found Eco Holidays Nepal for the trek. I contacted them and decided to go on the trek, which started from Kathmandu. I believe it's one of the best places to witness the beauty of nature and the mountains. Words cannot fully describe the breathtaking views I experienced. A big thank you to the entire Eco Holidays Nepal team, especially Mr. Dhruba Dharel, for making this unforgettable journey possible.

Mohare Danda Trek
I did the Mohara Danda trek with Shiva as my guide. The views from the Danda were fantastic, and Shiva's behavior with me and the team was excellent. The accommodation system in the tea houses was great, and the hotel owners were very accommodating. I highly recommend Trekking Recreation Adventure.
