Khopra Ridge Trek

overview Itinerary Includes Excludes Gallery

The Khopra Ridge, locally known as Khopra Danda, is located away from the busier trails of the Annapurna region. This trek leads you off the beaten path from the main trail at Tadapani. For a few days, we will be walking along a remote trail and staying at basic tea houses (community lodges). It is possibly the best week-long trek in Nepal and a great alternative to the Ghorepani Trek. It combines the best of what Nepal has to offer, amazing views of mountains like Dhaulagiri and the Annapurnas, unique villages with terraced rice fields cascading down the hillsides, all this with very few people on the trail. Another attraction of the trek is the holy Khaire Lake which requires a day trek from the Khopra Ridge. It is well worth it though, majestic views of Annapurna South resulting in a perfect reflection in the lake which will touch your heart.
