Immerse yourself in the grandeur of nature with the enthralling journey that is the Mulde Viewpoint Trek. Experience the serenity of the wilderness, meet the mountain people, and savor the breathtaking vistas of the highest peaks. Nestled in the heart of the Annapurna Conservation Area, the Mulde viewpoint trekking is your ticket to an intimate encounter with the Himalayas. Beyond The Limit Treks, being a renowned travel agency in Nepal, can be your trusted guide to the awe-inspiring wonders of the Mulde viewpoint. Our Muldai viewpoint trekking package in Nepal presents diverse chapters of nature’s grandeur, vibrant cultural narratives, and ever-evolving geographical landscapes.

The Mulde viewpoint trek experience resembles a journey through a living museum. The trek sets itself apart with an unparalleled perspective of over 25 mountain peaks, including the formidable Dhaulagiri and the stunning Annapurna ranges. It’s not just the destination that captivates but also the journey. The trail weaves through terraced farmlands with an array of colors and traditional Gurung and Magar villages. The journey offers a peek into the rural Himalayan lifestyle, dense rhododendron forests housing a myriad of Himalayan fauna, and ultimately to the Mulde peak - a view so sublime it feels ethereal.

Compared to other treks like Poon Hill Trek, Khumai Danda Trek, and Mardi Himal Trek, this trek is considered to offer the best mountain views among them. If you compare the mountain views with the photo, you can see the clear difference that the Mulde trek has the best Himalayan views to offer to its visitors. The mountain ranges seen from Mulde View Point ranges from Mt Machhapurche to Dhaulagiri - the sixth highest mountain in the world, and much closer than any other popular treks in the region.

The Trek to Mulde View Point is not just an outdoor expedition; it’s an immersive journey that challenges your physical strength, invites you to engage with the local community, and offers you a profound sense of tranquility amidst the high peaks.


Mulde View Point Trek Route

The 4-day Mulde View Point Trek begins and ends in Pokhara and follows a scenic loop through the lower Annapurna region.

Pokhara → Ghandruk → Tadapani → Dobato → Mulde View Point → Swanta Village → Ghorepani → Banthanti → Pokhara

The journey begins with a scenic drive from Pokhara towards Ghandruk. From Ghandruk, the trekking trail climbs through forest to Tadapani before leaving the busier Annapurna trails and heading towards Dobato.

Dobato is the base for the early-morning hike to Mulde View Point at 3,637 m. After sunrise at the viewpoint, the route descends through quiet mountain terrain towards Swanta Village.

On the final day, you trek from Swanta to Ghorepani and then descend towards Banthanti, where you meet the vehicle for the return drive to Pokhara. Travellers wishing to include Poon Hill can add an extra night in Ghorepani and visit Poon Hill for sunrise the following morning.


Mulde View Point vs Poon Hill

Both Mulde View Point and Poon Hill offer beautiful views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, but the experiences are different.

Poon Hill (3,210 m) is easier to reach and is one of Nepal's most famous sunrise viewpoints. Mulde View Point (3,637 m) is higher, more remote and generally receives fewer trekkers.

Mulde is a better choice for travellers who want a quieter trail, more time in rhododendron forest and a stronger sense of trekking away from the main route. Poon Hill is ideal for those wanting the easiest and shortest introduction to trekking in the Annapurna region.

If you have enough time, the two viewpoints can easily be combined by adding an extra night in Ghorepani.

Mulde View Point Trek - 4 Days Itinerary

Pokhara to Pokhara

Expand all

After breakfast in Pokhara, drive towards Ghandruk, one of the best-known Gurung villages in the Annapurna region. Depending on current road conditions, the vehicle may stop near Ghandruk, followed by a short walk into the village.

After exploring Ghandruk and enjoying lunch, begin the trek towards Tadapani. The trail gradually climbs through beautiful rhododendron and oak forest, with occasional views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and Machhapuchhre.

Arrive at Tadapani in the afternoon and settle into your teahouse for the night.

After breakfast, leave Tadapani and enter a quieter section of the Annapurna trekking region. Much of today's walk passes through dense oak and rhododendron forest.

The trail includes steady uphill sections and ridge walking as you gain more than 700 metres of elevation. As you climb higher, the forest gradually opens and provides glimpses of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. Have lunch in Isaru, a beautiful stop to have lunch.

After approximately 5–6 hours of trekking, you arrive at Dobato. Accommodation here is simple, but its peaceful setting and proximity to Mulde View Point make it one of the special overnight stops on the trek.

 

Wake before sunrise and begin the uphill walk from Dobato to Mulde View Point at 3,637 metres.

From the viewpoint, enjoy a magnificent Himalayan sunrise with panoramic views across the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges. On a clear morning, you can see peaks including Dhaulagiri I, Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre, Nilgiri and Hiunchuli.

After spending time at the viewpoint, descend to Dobato for breakfast. You then continue through quiet forest and mountain trails towards Swanta Village.

Swanta is a peaceful Magar community village surrounded by terraced farmland and provides an interesting contrast to the high mountain environment experienced earlier in the day.

Overnight in Swanta

After breakfast in Swanta, begin the final day of trekking towards Ghorepani. The trail passes through forest, farmland and small settlements before joining the classic Ghorepani–Poon Hill trekking route.

Enjoy lunch in Ghorepani before descending through rhododendron forest towards Banthanti. From the road-accessible point, meet your vehicle for the return journey to Pokhara.

For travellers who would also like to experience Poon Hill sunrise, we recommend adding one extra night in Ghorepani rather than rushing the visit on the final day.

Essential Information

Mulde View Point Trek Difficulty

The Mulde View Point Trek is a moderate trek suitable for beginners with reasonable fitness as well as experienced trekkers looking for a short Himalayan adventure.

The trek does not involve technical climbing, but there are several sustained uphill and downhill sections. The most demanding section is generally the climb from Tadapani towards Dobato, where you gain significant elevation while walking through forested terrain.

Most days involve approximately 4 to 7 hours of walking, depending on your pace, weather and trail conditions. The highest point is Mulde View Point at 3,637m (11,932ft). Although this is considerably lower than destinations such as Everest Base Camp, some trekkers may still notice the effects of altitude. Walking at a comfortable pace, drinking enough water and informing your guide of any unusual symptoms are important.

You do not need previous trekking experience, but regular walking, hiking, cycling, jogging or other cardiovascular exercise before arriving in Nepal will make the trek more comfortable.

Beyond The Limit Treks is committed to guiding you through every step, ensuring your adventure is enjoyable, safe, and memorable.

Best Time for the Mulde View Point Trek

The best seasons for the Mulde View Point Trek are spring and autumn, when the weather is generally more stable and Himalayan visibility is at its best. Nepal Tourism Board also identifies March–May and September–November as the main trekking seasons for the Annapurna Conservation Area.

Spring: March to May

Spring is one of the most beautiful times to trek to Mulde View Point. Rhododendron forests along the Tadapani–Dobato trail bloom in different colours, while temperatures are relatively comfortable. Mountain views are generally clear in the morning.

Autumn: September to November

Autumn is considered the prime trekking season in Nepal. After the summer monsoon, the landscape is green and the air is usually clearer, providing excellent views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.

Winter: December to February

The trek is possible during winter, but temperatures around Dobato and Mulde View Point can fall well below freezing. Snow may cover sections of the trail, particularly around the viewpoint. Warm clothing, trekking poles and suitable footwear are important.

Monsoon: June to August

The trek can be done during the monsoon, but rain, cloud cover, slippery trails and reduced mountain visibility make conditions less predictable. This period is better suited to trekkers who do not mind wet conditions and want very quiet trails.

Mulde View Point Trek - 4 Days FAQs

Expand All

Mulde View Point, also known as Muldai Viewpoint, is located at approximately 3,637 metres (11,932 ft) above sea level. It is the highest point reached on our 4-day Mulde View Point Trek.

The cost of the Muldai View Point Trek can vary based on several factors, such as the level of accommodation, whether you hire a guide or porter, and the trek’s duration. Contact us, Beyond The Limit Treks, for the most accurate, up-to-date information on pricing for the trek.

On the Muldai View Trek, you can expect to trek for approximately 4-7 hours each day. However, the daily duration can vary based on the pace of the trekking group.

Accommodation is provided in local teahouses. Rooms are simple and normally include twin beds, mattresses, pillows and blankets. Facilities become more basic at higher and less-developed locations such as Dobato.

Teahouses serve a variety of freshly prepared meals including dal bhat, noodles, soups, fried rice, pasta, potatoes, eggs and other local and international dishes. Menu choices may be more limited at higher elevations.

Our standard Mulde View Point Trek takes 4 days from Pokhara to Pokhara. Travellers with additional time can extend the itinerary to include Poon Hill, Khopra Danda or other destinations in the Annapurna region.

On a clear day, the viewpoint offers panoramic views across the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, including Dhaulagiri I, Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre, Nilgiri, Hiunchuli and other Himalayan peaks.

Both viewpoints are beautiful. Poon Hill is easier to reach and more famous, while Mulde View Point is higher and generally quieter. Travellers looking for a less crowded Himalayan viewpoint and a slightly more adventurous trek may prefer Mulde.

Yes. The route passes through Ghorepani on the final part of the trek, so Poon Hill can easily be added by spending an additional night in Ghorepani and hiking to Poon Hill for sunrise the following morning.

Spectacular view from Mulde Hill

I have to say that it was a superb experience. Of course, getting to Muldai View Point itself was the high point. My mind will always be forever etched by the expansive view of the Himalayan peaks.
