Khopra Ridge Trek
Khopra Ridge Trek
$1200
Tour Overview
The Khopra Ridge Trek has situated away from the busier trails of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range but provides equally remarkable views of the Himalayas including Mt. Dhaulagiri, Mt. fishtail, mt. Annapurna South, Fang, and mt. Nilgiri. Another highlight of our trek is the holy Kayer Lake, which requires a little wandering away from the Khopra Danda. After reaching Tadapani we leave the main trail and for the next few days, trek along a remote trail while staying in the local community eco-lodge. This trek is suitable for those who prefer to enjoy the grandeur of Mt. Annapurna while also taking pleasure in the solace of a more remote trekking trail. This trip complete with a unique heritage, culture, and breathtaking mountain landscape, will be well worth your time. ...more ...less
