Khopra Ridge Trek is a tranquility and interesting family suitable trek in
the heart of the Annapurna region. Annapurna is the most walked trail in Nepal, yet
this trek remains mysterious for the trekkers. The secluded place hidden behind
the massive Annapurna ranges is one of the most speculative vantage points
of the region. The panoramic views it offers are beyond the expression of any
imagination. The pattern of undulating ridges laid beyond the touching distance
is a sort of a miracle. The trail to this track is mainly dominated by the
rhododendron, which blooms in spring. Most of the trekking trails lead through
the jungle with Bamboo trees, you will also see the water buffalo, different
kinds of birds.
Khopra Ridge trek is one of the tourist less trekking destinations which is
on the lap of Mount Annapurna south. There are fewer tea houses in this
trekking destination and no roads at all.
The trek starts either from Ghandruk or from Nayapul to Tikhedunga which
leads to the famous short trekking destination Ghorepani Poonhill trek. This trek
can be done in a week or within 10 days. We leave the main trail after Tadapani
and for the next few days walk along a remote trail while staying at the
community tea-houses. The 14-day trip is suitable for those who wish to enjoy
the grandeur of Mt. Complete with unique heritage, culture, and breathtaking
landscape, the trip will be well worth our time. Annapurna base camp trek,Mardi Himal Trek
Khopra Ridge Trek is being popular nowadays the maximum height of Khopra
danda is around 400 m plus. There is only one tea house in this danda and tents
outside.
Ghorepani poon hill trek is one of
the short and best trekking destinations in this Annapurna region. Annapurna circuit Trek

Khopra Ridge to Swanta (2214 m) After the beautiful 2 days on Khopra Danda, the attraction of Khopra Trek is not been completed yet.

Today we hike towards Swanta Village, which lies at an elevation 2214 meters above sea level in the west of Khopra Hill. This hike will be easier since we have to lose the elevation.
