Khopra Danda Trek

Khopra Danda Trek Description 

Khopra Danda (Ridge) Trek, also known as Khayer Lake Trekking, is one of the most impressively attractive untouched nature and freshly opened territory for trekking sport in Annapurna. This trek seems good for all opinionated trekkers. Parts of this trail are more strenuous, while other parts are easier. The path goes through deeply lush, thick pine, oak, rhododendron, and bamboo forests with gorgeous vistas and journeys through beautiful Magar, Gurung, Kami, Damai, and Kshetri—Brahmin villages with their beautifully terraced farmlands. This Khopra Danda Trek can be done as a special combined tour and adventure hike up to Khayar Lake, 4827 m, the highest point, with the most spectacular, picturesque, and breathtaking views of snowcapped peaks and mesmerizing landscapes! On this trip, you will have chances to observe real Nepali lifestyles (their culture, art of living, and religion), sit sand tay together with the family at home, and that's why you have chances to share experiences with the families, hiking in the lush, pristine forest with great vistas, and the best place is far away from crowds and hectic, boring life.

The other thing about this trail is that very few tourists are on the way, so it’s a quiet and peaceful trail also. Mountain views are just awesome 180 degrees from Dhaulagiri (8167 m), Annapurna (8091 m), Manaslu (8163 m), etc., + green high hills, rhododendron forest, and the southern green slopes with terraced farming lands. Khopra Trek, or South of Annapurna region, is one of Nepal’s last Himalayan jewels; a glittering array of panoramas, gigantic peaks, and peaceful nature awaits the adventurous explorer. However, as magnificent as the mountains are, it is perhaps the people of Nepal that are its greatest asset. Khopra Danda Trek is the diversity of ethnoculture, colorful festivals, temples, and gompas—a mixture of settlements of friendly, loving people. On this trip, you will have chances to mix with those people and observe their lifestyles, culture, and traditions. These things make this trip one of the finest.
