Pokhara is the gateway to amazing short treks and Muldai Trek is a short and lower-elevation trek near Pokhara. Muldai hill trek is a newly introduced beautiful trekking trail of the Annapurna region. It is an eight 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 the Annapurna Conservation Area. It was accessible for trekkers since 2000 but was overshadowed by other trekking routes in 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 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 Poon Hill. But the teahouse houses and lodges around the trekking trail are comparatively less than that of Poon Hill as the trekking route is less crowded.
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 levels can easily complete this trek. Similarly, the total distance covered during the trek is about 70 kilometers. Side trips during the trek make a difference in the total distance of the trek. The weather around Muldai Hill is mostly similar to Poon Hill. Amazing views of the mountain ranges can be seen during the early morning. Meanwhile, in the afternoon the clouds cover the mountain ranges. Muldai Hill is about 300 meters higher in altitude than Poon Hill. Because of that, there is a high chance of getting a better view. Autumn (September to Early December) and Spring (March to May) are the best seasons to travel to Muldai. During this season, the sky remains clear so that you can enjoy the crystalline views of Mountain ranges. Also, it offers amazing landscapes of lush green valleys, rhododendron forests, etc.
