Mohare Danda Trek - 4 Days

Trekking on this route is possible throughout the year. But, months from March to May and October to December are the optimum time to hike. From March to May, the hills and forests are covered by greenery and blooming Rhododendrons and snowfall generally occurs during this time of the year. From October to December, the weathers are clear with no rainfall and fog covering the Himalayas.

So, this time of the year portrays the best mesmerizing view of mountains and landscapes. The trekking may be hard on monsoon because of the rainfall and unclear sky whereas in January and February, the temperature plunges to minus. Because of that, it may cause some hindrances.
