Muldai Hill Trek

A short and lower elevation trek near Pokhara.

Muldai hill trek is newly introduced beautiful trekking trails of Annapurna region. It is an 8 days short and fresh trek to the quiet and serene hills of Annapurna and a beautiful viewpoint called “Muldai”. Annapurna region itself is rich in natural and cultural diversity. Muldai Danda is situated at an elevation of 3,637 meters above sea level in Annapurna Conservation Area. It was accessible for the trekkers since 2000 but was overshadowed by other trekking routes of the same region.

Muldai Hill trek is a community-based trekking route. The view from the Muladi Danda is often compared with the view from Poon Hill. Because of the fewer number of trekking days and the less crowd around this trekking route, it is gaining a lot of popularity in recent years. Muldai viewpoint is one of the best spots for the sunrise and sunset view over the high mountains. It is situated at a higher altitude than that of Poon Hill. But the teahouse houses and lodges around the trekking trail are comparatively less than that of Poon Hill.

Muldai Peak is one of the main attractions of this trek and amazing views of the mountain ranges can be seen from the top of the hill. The difficulty level of the trek is moderate and beginners with normal fitness level can easily complete this trek. Similarly, the total distance covered during the trek is about 70 kilometres. Side trips during the trek make the difference in the total distance of the trek.

Meanwhile, the trekking days are also shorter than that of Poon Hill Trek. But the accommodations around the Muldai Hill trekking trails are not as developed as Poon Hill. Because of that, only a few tourists visit Muldai Hill and witness the amazing mountain ranges from Muldai Peak. Always overshadowed by the Poon Hill trek and Khopra Ridge trek, Muldai Peak trek is still in its original form.

Muldai Peak

Muldai Peak is located north of the beautiful Ghandruk village of the Gurung community. Meanwhile, the Muldai Peak borders the Kaski and Myagdi districts of the Dhaulagiri zone of Nepal.
