The 10 Days Khopra Ridge Khayer Lake trek is one of least explored trekking regions in Nepal. It is located to the south of Annapurna Ranges and is often compared with the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek. Mt. Khopra Danda is marginally higher at 3,640m, while Poon Hill is 3,210m. Khopra Danda may offer marginally better views than Poon Hill due to it being higher.
Some of the mountains seen from Khopra Danda are: Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167m), Annapurna I (8091m), Nilgiri (7061m), Bahrashikhar (7,647 meters), Annapurna South (7,219 meters), Annapurna II (7,937 meters) and other massive mountains. Khayer Lake lies at an altitude of 4,660 meters.
The trail heading to Khopra Ridge passes through thick forests of pine, oak, and rhododendron. Along the trail you have numerous views of the Himalayan Mountains. At lower altitudes you will pass numerous terraced farmlands and witness various cultures, such as Magar and Gurung in their respective villages. There are a number of lodges and tea houses on Khopra Ridge where we can stop for a break and get to know the locals.
This trekking route is less traveled, quieter and more peaceful than other more popular treks. This trek is ideally suited for families whose sole endeavor is to observe first-hand the magnificent mountain views without having to acclimatize before heading to higher elevations.
