Located in Mugu district in the mountains of west-central Nepal, Dhanna is a hidden gem on the Annapurna trekking route. Surrounded by lush forests and rolling snow-capped mountains, this traditional village at an altitude of about 1,120 meters retains its original Thakuri culture. Its stone-built houses and terraced rice paddies stand out against the landscape, and the villagers still make a living from farming and handicrafts, living at a leisurely pace. As the gateway to the 'world's deepest gorge' on the banks of the Kali Gandaki River, Dhanna is both a starting point for trekking enthusiasts and an ideal place to experience Nepalese village life. With early morning views of the snow-capped peaks of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, and dusk walks through quaint villages, Dhanna offers a tranquil and isolated charm that makes it one of Nepal's most untouched natural and cultural treasures.
