    Khopra Ridge Trekking 13 days

    Annapurna Khopra Ridge Trekking leads you to a complete wilderness adventure into remote and hidden corners of Annapurna Himalaya, which means away from main trekking trails and villages into perfect isolation of mountain views and a serene environment.

    The Khopra Ridge Trekking is probably one of the best scenic destinations within Annapurna and around the Himalayas, where you will enjoy walking into tranquil surroundings in the harmony of the super panorama of the world’s highest mountain range with 7th high Dhaulagiri, 8,167 m and Annapurna 8,091 m high.

    But the first part of the walk leads you on the prominent and famous trekking to beautiful areas at Ghorepani village. Ghorepani is inhabited mostly by Poon-Magar tribes, located amid lovely rhododendron woodland. In spring, the place will be boomed by wildflowers, especially Rhododendron. (National flower of the country.)

    At Ghorepani, with scenic views of the Dhaulagiri range, a morning hike takes you to top Poon Hill at above 3,210 m high. Poonhill will provide striking sunrise views over the chain of Himalayan peaks that cover Nepal North Mid-West to Mid-East and as far as the Far Western Himalaya range.

    After a glorious moment with views, the walk continues on, leaving the main trekking route.  So we will be heading towards the complete wilderness past a few farm villages to reach our high destination at Khopra Ridgetop. This top is facing a mind-blowing panorama of the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna range of mountains. Moreover, a day is arranged for relaxation or an exciting hike to the holy lake of Khair for more views of this scenic area.

    With a great mesmerizing time around the high Khopra ridge, our journey heads back to Pokhara.  Through an alternative route, walk into dense alpine woodland to reach the main trekking trails. That leads to large nice villages at Ghandruk, home to the Gurung people, the prominent tribe of Annapurna Himalaya.

    From Ghandruk, downhill to the road, head for an exciting drive reaching at a beautiful city in Pokhara. Enjoy calm Phewa Lake, where our wonderful adventure Annapurna Khopra Ridge Trekking completes.
