About Khopra Danda Trek

Khopra Danda Trek is one of the recently opened short and easy Annapurna regions Trekking with highlighted Annapurna Massif. This Khopra Hill Trek is known as the Khopra Ridge and Khaer Lake Trek. This short Annapurna Trek is perfect for non-adventurous trekkers, families, and those who would like to Trek with no crowd.

This Khopra Ridge Trek presents scenic views of substantial snow-capped mountains from a very close perspective, green hills, beautiful Khaer Lakes, terraces, and much more. The Mulde viewpoint is the main attraction to see the scenic view of the Annapurna and the Dhaulagiri Himalayan range. Khopra Hill Trek covers two different opinions, Mulde and Poon Hill, to see the incredible sunrise and sunset. This two weeks Trek has an excellent chance to explore Nepal very well. This trip begins following the heritage tour of Kathmandu and leads to the mountain. The Gurung and the Magar people are the prominent ethnic people in this region.

Khopra Ridge Trek starts after driving about an hour and a half to Nayapul and walking to the Ghandruk, then leads to the main viewpoint (Mulde) and ends with another view (Poon Hill). Ghandruk is the biggest beautiful Gurung village in the Annapurna region. The route goes through the dense forest of oaks, bamboo, pine, and rhododendron. This Trek allows the trekkers to see and learn about the culture and lifestyle of the Magar and the Gurung people. The trekkers will never feel bored with the tour because they can see the mountains and many more attractions. The forest will be very colorful in the spring, with various types of rhododendron. The Kharka of the Yak and the ship are here to feed because they need cold weather to survive.

Frolic Adventure arranges this Khopra Trek for the trekkers with reasonable cost and safety measures. We provide experienced, knowledgeable, and helpful guides and helpers. If you want a well-organized Khopra Trek, please contact us.
