Overview
Kahun Danda Hiking
Hiking in Pokhara is very new and started only three decades ago. Around Pokhara, Kahun Danda hiking is another enchanting hill north of Pokhara and is only about two and a half hours from Mahendrapul downtown. Taking to your feet is the only way to see most mountain areas of Pokhara but it is also the best way to see around the village is rich in cultural diversity. Normally, this is one-day hiking route but if you would like to spend some time with the villagers and know about their life, Plan Holidays can make it a 2-day trip.
It is located in the North-East of Pokhara city at 1444 m (4740 ft) and is at lower than Sarangkot. The trail starts just after crossing the newly built bridge at Seti Powerhouse (Narayanthan) and goes by the army barracks at Phulbari across Mahendrapul before climbing slowly up a slope. You will enjoy a panoramic view of the Annapurna range and the wide Pokhara valley from Kahun Danda.
One can have Hiked to this hill you will find the different ethnic communities around it. The dramatic change of colors after the sunrise on the Annapurna gives you the experience of natural beauty as well as which can easily lift your heart. It is an appropriate place for a day hike.
Those who do not have climbing skills also can join the Kahun Danda hiking. The hikers explore the hills. Cultural societies around the villages are conventionally established and are worth the visit. There is also view tower wherein the north face of kahun Danda you can see amazing Rhododendron Forest (National flower of Nepal). Another beautiful view of the hill is Tiger top it is 8km far from Vijaypur where there is small hotel and tea shop. It is the best destination for meditation. Don’t hesitate to choose Pokhara for your holiday tour trip as well as for hiking. It really a peaceful and beautiful place and can have spiritually relaxation.

Reviews
Simply put “WOW”.
Simply put “WOW”. I have never met more responsible people in my life. They made sure every step of the way was taken care of from the drivers, tour guides, trek guides, porters and hotel accommodations. I highly recommend this company for its hard working, responsible and friendly people. The people make a company. Special thanks to: Anuja “the planner”, Chitiz & Ashmir “the ultimate trekking guides” and finally Robin “the enthusiastic jungle bird watcher”.

San Diego, CaliforniaPlan Holidays did a fantastic job on our whole trip!
Plan Holidays did a fantastic job on our whole trip! We did the trip that included time in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan National Park and a 5-day trek around Annapurna. From the moment we stepped off the plane, we had guides showing us around and everything was perfectly planned for us. Maila, our trekking guide was amazing and had so much knowledge! It was a great trip!

Boston, MassachusettsIncredibly well organized
This company was amazing. Incredibly well organized. I felt safe and spoiled. Our airport transports were always early and waiting for us. All of our reservations for our accommodations and busses were perfect. The temple tour we took was super fun and educational. Some of our luggage got stuck in our layover country and between this travel agency and our hotel they were able to get it for us and deliver it the next day. We also had a 10month old traveling with us and they made sure that our accommodation and travel plans were safe for him. During our 5 days of trekking, we had THE BEST guide/sherpa. I would positively let them plan another trip for us. Thank you!!!!

I had a wonderful experience
I recently booked a tour with Plan Holidays, and I had a wonderful experience. Anuja scheduled the tour, and it was comforting to have our trip covered without any concerns. Our guide Shiva took us through Kathmandu, and showed all us the highlights of the city and provided us with the cultural and historical background. We also did the Poon Hill Trek with guides Chitiz and Ashmir, who provided a peaceful hike through the Himalayas. On our last two days, we spent time in Chitwan National Park, where our guide, Robin, took us on adventures where we saw crocodiles and rhinos.
The entire package was affordable, and our guides met our every need; they went out of their way for us on many occasions. It was comforting to get off the bus and see our guides waiting for us with our name tags. I would highly encourage anyone to book a trip through this company. I promise that you will have an amazing experience–five stars!
