Although Nepal is well known as a trekking paradise where more than hundreds of Trekking destinations have been discovered till date and still some are yet to explore. Mohare and Khopra Danda Trek is one of the emerging trekking destinations which provide an opportunity to level up trekking grades from beginners to intermediate.
