Highlights
Overview
The Khopra Ridge Trek is a scenic journey that offers an authentic off-the-beaten-path trekking experience. The trek takes you through some of the most breathtaking landscapes and ethnic settlements, surrounded by natural wildlife, lush vegetation, and towering peaks. With views of majestic mountains such as Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, Nilgiri, and more, this 14-day trek is a soul-satisfying journey that is unforgettable.
Starting from the capital city of Kathmandu, the trek begins with a flight to Pokhara, the city of lakes. From Pokhara, you drive to Nayapul, where you can admire the city’s natural beauty, including farmlands of mustard, rice, and rich vegetation, before continuing to Birethanti. This village offers a unique chance to experience the traditional living of the native people and their customs and lifestyle.
As you advance to Ghandruk, the world’s deepest gorge, you will be welcomed by the beguiling views of Machhapuchhre and Hiuchuli. The trek further leads you to the popular hill station of Poon Hill, before reaching the Khopra Ridge (3660 meters), where you will witness the stunning beauty of the Kaire Lake and the sapphire waters.
Khopra Ridge Trek
The Khopra Ridge Trek is suitable for most beginners, as it is a moderate trip that can be completed with ease. You will come across small rivers and water bodies, and visiting the Kaire Lake will present you with the surreal cliffs of the Fang Mountains, which have a mystical feel at dusk. The trek is an isolated journey, making it an excellent choice for trekkers who want to experience a secluded adventure in the Annapurna region.
In conclusion, the Khopra Ridge Trek is a fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself and explore the beauty of the mountains. If you are looking for a similar experience, we offer the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek or the Annapurna Base Camp trek. Our team can also customize trips and itineraries that cater to your specific needs, ensuring you have the most memorable time in the mountains.
