Mohare Hill is a newly established trekking destination because of that there are few hotels and lodges around this area. At the top of Mohare Hill, there is a single community lodge that is run by the local people. 

Started in 2010 Mohare Danda has gained a lot of popularity in recent years by its amazing scenarios and the distance of the trek. The best part of Mohare Hill is that the amazing view of the sunrise and sunset can be seen from the community lodge situated at the top of the hill. Unlike Poon Hill, no further climb is needed to witness the amazing scenario. The view can also be seen while having a meal from the community lodge itself.
