Your guide and a driver will be ready to drive to Ghandruk early morning. This will be the real starting point of our Mulde Trek together!

From Ghandruk, we head towards Tadapani, a popular stop for trekkers on the Annapurna trail. The trail goes uphill all the way through a thick forest of oak and rhododendron. There are some steep ascents en route that can leave you breathless. The gleaming summits of Annapurna South and Machhapuchre (Fishtail Peak) appear closer as we climb higher. After the climb, we will finally reach the village of Tadapani.

Leaving Tadapani, you trek to Dobato. The trail is filled with trees and boulders covered in moss and lichen. There are some steep uphills and downhills with fantastic views of the Annapurna range. On reaching Dobato you make your way to a local teahouse.

Dobato is a small settlement filled with few houses and a couple of teahouses. Not many trekkers visit Dobato, as it lies farther away from the popular trails. Because of less tourist traffic, the amenities offered at the teahouses in Dobato are quite basic.

Once you reach the teahouse, you can rest for a while and take some refreshments. If you have the stamina, you can already hike to Mulde Viewpoint for sunset.

To enjoy the sunrise, you make an early morning hike to the Mulde Viewpoint. While Annapurna South, Annapurna I and Fishtail Peak appear quite close you can see other peaks like Hiunchuli, Dhaulagiri, Gangapurna, Baraha Shikhar, Lamjung Himal and other giants. It looks like they’re shining majestically in the golden rays of the early morning sun.

After enjoying the view and taking pictures, you descend to Dobato. You’ll have your breakfast here, whereafter you proceed towards Ghorepani. You walk past the ridge of the Mulde Peak and walk through a dense forest of rhododendrons. During spring the entire forest is heavenly filled with pink and red rhododendron flowers.

An up-and-down trail takes you past small brooks and waterfalls and mountainside villages. An ascent up a stone staircase brings you to the settlement of Ghorepani, an ancient pit stop that was once a hub for mule caravans of traders traveling along the Tibet salt trade route.

Let’s wake up before sunrise again, and head to Poon Hill! This viewpoint lies right above Ghorepani. Use a head torch to light your way in the dark, while climbing a series of steps to reach Poon Hill. It’s a tough ascend to the top with rewarding views.

It’s an amazing experience to see the mountains light up by the first light of the dawn. The snow-covered mountains change color from pink to golden as the sun slowly rises. It’s a striking sight, one that you will cherish and remember for a looong, long time.

After enjoying the view, you walk back down to Ghorepani again for a hearty breakfast. Then you head down to Hille, the final destination of the trek. Our vehicle will be waiting to drive you back to Pokhara. 

In Pokhara you can relax at your hotel. Or, you can spend the evening strolling down lakeside and experiencing the nightlife.
