Kokhe Danda Trek is a newly explored trail by Discover Parbat. Situated at the altitude of 3303m, it provides the panoromic views of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna mountains along with layers of hills on southern side. Being the highest point of Parbat District and situated 100m higher than Poonhill, it is comperatively a better viewpoint than Poonhill. To the eastern side of Annapurna, you can see peaks from Manaslu and Langtang range as well.

Being relatively a new trail, the Kokhe Danda Trail is more peaceful and away from the crowd. Unlike other popular trails, you will not be finding any other trekkers generally in this route apart from few locals. In addition, the trek passes through several beautiful villages including Banau, and Lespar. You get to experience the authentic homestay experience, Magar community culture and explore the rural lifestyle as well.

John Good from Poland recommends us and writes a review on our Facebook page saying,
"We were a mixed group of 9, from The UK, Czech Republic and Poland. All first timers in the Nepal Himalaya and with limited time chose to walk a relatively new and not difficult trek called Kokhe Danda. We gained the services of a local guide and porters, who were fantastic in all aspects. Sameer, the guide was very knowledgeable and informative, he also included during the trek Yoga and Meditation classes plus photography and video. The trek was over 5 nights, the walking averaging 5 hours a day. The scenary was fantastic with early morning remarkable memorable sunrises. If you are one of the many travellers with limited time, we recommend this beautiful area.
