16 reviewsKhopra Ridge Trek is undoubtedly one of Nepal's most exciting short treks. This trek includes all components of a classic trek in Nepal. Apart from this, the tour makes cozy villages, wildlife, and extensive mountain views visible. It offers various landscapes, from forests to high alpine landscapes; however, the Khopra Ridge trek lies far from the busier trails of the Annapurna region.
However, Trek to Khopra Ridge provides equally outstanding views of the Himalayan ranges as Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, Fang, and Nilgiri. Khayer Lake is another attraction of this trek, which needs to be slightly rambling away from the Khopra ridge.
We start our trip from Kathmandu with a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage sites. We will fly or drive to Pokhara, then go to Naya Pul, where the trek begins. We follow the paths of the Annapurna balcony until Tadapani from Naya Pul. Then we left the main trail and walked on a far way for the next couple of days. We will stay in the community tea houses during these periods.
The two-week trip is appropriate for those who would like to relish Mount Annapurna's beauty while enjoying the soothing of more remote paths. The Khopra Danda trek has become famous as an alternative trekking route in the Annapurna Region. It is an easy and short trek but allows you to explore the culture and nature and get close to the giant Himalayas.

Tailor your holiday with help from a local travel specialist that matches your requirements.
The Khopra Ridge trek (also known as the Khopra Danda trek) is an excellent alternative to the most popular (and crowded) Ghorepani Poon Hill trek, taking you higher still to another superb viewpoint of the Annapurnas. The route follows the local trail, which takes you to Ghorepani before climbing Khopra Ridge.
Trek to Khopra Ridge is an excellent choice if you're looking for the perfect week-long trek, but a little off the beaten track, with great views. Contact us to get started organizing your expedition.

I did this trek in Upper Mustang with my sisters, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed every part of the journey. I also highly recommend kumar as a guide – he was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trek even more special. A truly unforgettable adventure!
I did the Phoksundo Lake trek with Kumar and it was a superb experience. It is an adventure, so you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone, but Kumar always adapts to the unexpected and makes the trip as enjoyable as possible! The landscapes are magnificent, you meet lots of people along the way, and you really push your limits! Kumar is an excellent guide attentive, friendly, and his prices are very fair!
I recently did an annapurna curcit with my brother and his girlfriend. It was an amazing trek with the help of kumar and his team . It was one of the best experience of our life . The annapurna curcit is the best of the treks that people can choose for. I sincerely recommend this company for other travellers.
The 18-day Lower and Upper Dolpo tour was individually tailored to our needs by Kumar. Kumar had put together a great team of guide, cook and mule guide. This team fulfilled all of our wishes at all times during the entire tent trek. Narsang, our guide, is very attentive and careful along the entire route. Kumar is very reliable. He looked after us very well in the preparation and execution of our trek and during our stay in Kathmandu right up to the farewell at the airport. A highly recommended local company when it comes to individually planning a trekking tour. The trip was a great experience. Chris and Hajo
Recently I did EBC Trekking with my Girl Friend and this is my forth time to trek in Nepal with Kumar! Kumar is very professional and helpful. He always arranges all the things well before you asking for. Highly recommended for anyone who is first time to visit Nepal and trek!
H.E.T were professional and helpful for my first trekking in Nepal. Friendly and joyful trek. Thank you for every things. Thank you to lead me there at ABC. It was so wonderful and I couldn't forget this experience.
Our non-profit organisation needed a local tour guide to help with our local guide and logistics. After much research, we engaged with Kumar. During our 4 days trip, Kumar demonstrated excellent local knowledge, punctuality, friendliness. During the trip he never tried to sale us anything. And with a charitable and kind heart, he did not even charge us for this ngo trip. thank you so much.
I was very lucky to have Kumar to arrange our 5 day stay in Nepal. From the pick up at the airport to showing up punctually every morning at the hotel lobby, everything was smooth and hassle free. Kumar is a friendly and kind-hearted gentleman who genuinely wants to help visitors to experience the best of Nepal. Will definitely choose Himalayan Exploration for my next trekking.
Kumar has a very kind heart to help me arranging logistics before and during my volunteer work in Kathmandu. He also guided me with my city tour and mountain trekking after my volunteer work. He can always surprised me with brilliant suggestions.
