Khopra trek is one of the off the beaten path trek of Nepal, the Khopra ridge trek is a very special trek in Annapurna with following some Khopra Trek highlights
The Khopra Danda trek (also known as the Khopra Ridge trek) because when trekkers reach to the Khopra Danda they must go through the Khopra ridge to go Khayer lake. Khopra Danda is top of the small mountains where you will stay overnight. If you look at the Khopra from every side you can just see the ridge of the mountains that is why locals named it Khopra Danda and Khopra ridge trek. Khopra ridge trek is managed by the local community and they run the hotel in the Khopra Danda by joint investment from the community so the benefit directly goes to the community. Not only in the Khopra Danda also in the Shristibang there is a community-managed lodge as well. The Khopra danda trek trails are managed by the local communities. They have been working on the improvements of the trekking trails till now.
Khopra Trek Trails has a multiple route options. Nepal trek hub’s Khopra trek 13 days begins from arrival in Kathmandu to departure. By the next morning, you take the Bus to Pokhara, a lake city where you spent a night before your trek. hiring the vehicle next morning to the Nayapool, then you start the Khopra trek via Poon hill trek. A nice viewpoint from where you can see the magnificent view of Annapurna Himalayan Rrange and Dhaulagiri Range. Poon Hill is also known as Mini Annapurna Trek. Trekking to Dobato is an Amazing experience via Deurali. Deurali is a place where two trek separates, one go-to Tadapani another go to Dobato. Mulde peak is one of the best viewpoints of Annapurna. The guesthouse is very from here. As you walk towards Bayeli, very fewer people see on the trek. Bayeli to Shistibang the trail is decent down, with thick forest. You keep going down until Shristinbang. 3 Hours further from here brings you to the Khopra Ridge. When you are here, next mooring, you would see such a Magnificent view very clearly as well as far from there. Going Khayer lake is a day hike from Khopra, you need to bring a packed lunch. Swanta is a next day camp then finally you will do relax in Tatopani
Mulde peak trek/hike is another spectacular hill station to see the mountain range perfectly. It is the best alternative to the Poon Hill from where you can see the best panoramic view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Range. Mulde peak lies on the trail of Khopra Trek. It is a 30 minutes hike from Dobato 3350 Meter which is a 3.5 hours trail from Tadapani. Those hikers who do not have a chance to see the view from Poon hill can hike to Mulde peak which offers a more superb view than from Poon Hill. Hikers can start their hike to Mulde peak from Dobato before breakfast around sunrise time. Sunrise over the Himalayas is absolutely stunning. Trekkers can see Mt.Annapurna 8,091 meter, Mt. Dhualagiri 8,167 Meter, Annapurna south, Nilgiri, Dhampus peak, Tukuche peak, himchuli, Gurja himal, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV and many other countless peaks. You will also see the surrounding valley from Mulde peaks.
Autumn and spring season are the two best seasons to do the Khopra Trek/Khopra Ridge Trek. Here is why this is the best season to do it.
Autumn season: Autumn season is best for the Khopra Trek because it is very suitable for adventure trekking in the Himalayas. During the autumn seasons, the days are very sunny with moderate temperatures. In Nepal autumn is also known as neither cold nor hot months. It is a very rare chance of rainfalls plus the visibility is very good. The whole day the sun shines so trekkers can enjoy the mountain vistas and other scenery. Even in the high Himalayas, the temperatures do not fall down very much that is the reason the Autumn season is very good to do the Khopra Trek.
The Spring season is also known as flowers season in the Annapurna Region because the rhododendron forest get’s the rhododendron blossom. The Spring season is the second best season to do the Khopra trek because the days are warm and sunny in the Himalayas. There is very less chance of rainfalls and snowfalls in the mountains and the visibility is also great so it is a very suitable time to do the Khopra trek. Usually, the weather remains perfect with less chance of clouds, snowfalls and rain. at the end of the spring season, the weather can be bad sometimes. Due to the warm temperatures, climbers climb the high mountains this time.
The monsoon season lasts for 3 months starting from June to August. During the monsoon season, it is quite hard to trek and the trek experience is also not good. Usually, the weather becomes cloudy and rainy so you can not enjoy the trek. There is also the possibility of landslides and floods during these seasons. We do not recommend trekking to tourists this season because the experience is not that great.
This is a cold time and not appropriate for the trek in the high himalayas. There is a chance of snowfalls and cloudy weather so the trekkers may suffer. The temperatures drops very low and high passes trek are very dangerous due to the snowfalls. If you want to do the trek in the Himalayas then the risk is yours at this time.
Are you wondering about Khopra trek map. We have a dynamic visual google Khopra trek map You may find map everywhere in the market. You may see Khopra trek map or Khayer lake trek map. Don’t get confuse this both are the same one with a different name. Make sure that this map also includes Ghorepani Poon Hill trek and Dhampus as well. Most of the Map has this but to be confirmed.
Khopra Danda trek/khayer lake trek can be done in different ways and the days also vary as per the trail you choose. There are 3-4 ways you can do this but the most popular one is to trek from Ghandruk and end at Pokhara. This one is very short and offers the perfect taste of the trek that trekkers are looking for.

Hello Sergio
Thank you so much for your wonderful review regarding the Khopra Trek. We are very happy to serve you and look forward to see you again In Nepal
Shreeram
I’ve just finished the Khopra trek with Shreeram who runs the agency. I had a very nice time, with incredible views on the Annapurnas and Daulaghiris, and walks through traditional villages. Shreeram did his best to fulfill my wishes. He knows the trails very well, he’s smart, funny and very interesting. I was traveling on my own as a woman and I felt very comfortable all the time with him and the porter. I recommend him without any hesitation.
