The Khumai Danda or Khumai Hill Trek is a less-traveled route that commences in the Baglung District, winding through charming villages and terraced landscapes before concluding at Kumai village. Though less frequented, the trails provide an unobstructed, breathtaking panorama of the Himalayan ranges, showcasing Annapurna, Fishtail, and more from the hilltops along the route. Part of the Great Machhapuchhre Trail (GMT), the Khumai Danda Trek is a shorter segment, offering an appealing alternative for those desiring to explore a new locale in Nepal.
Renowned as one of the most picturesque viewpoints in the Annapurna Region, Khumai Danda Trek competes with the popular Mardi Himal Trek. While Mardi Himal remains a best-selling trek from Pokhara, its peak season bustle has led many to consider Khumai as a preferable option. The allure of stunning landscapes and the rich local culture captivates every trekker. Numerous trekking trails interconnect this region, with the Khumai Danda treetop walk standing out as a major highlights an elevated pathway through the trees linking two hills. Notably, the Khumai Danda Trek ranks among the easier trekking routes in Nepal, making it an ideal choice for first time hikers or groups with children. Yet, it incorporates challenging sections that add an element of excitement for seasoned trekkers.
The Machhapuchhre Model Trek appeals to those seeking gradual transition through diverse landscapes and changing surroundings. It serves as an excellent option for those in experiences all in one place.
