Overview
Discover the lesser-trodden Khopra Ridge Trek — a hidden gem nestled between the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs. This community-run lodge trek offers up-close views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Nilgiri and the world's seventh-highest mountain, Dhaulagiri. The optional pre-dawn hike to sacred Khayer Lake (4,660 m) rewards you with one of the finest sunrise panoramas in the Annapurna region. Stay in cosy community lodges, sample fresh local food, and walk through forests of rhododendron, oak and bamboo with very few other trekkers.
