The views of mountains like the Annapurna massif, Machhapuchhre, Nilgiri (7061m), Hiunchuli (6441m) and Dhaulagiri (8167m) among many others from the Mohare Hill are simply unprecedented. Moreover, the trail also meanders through the relatively untouched terrains of the region. The lush woodlands and the rhododendron forests of the elevated landscape present the most wonderful natural canopies for trekkers to go through.
