Khopra Danda Trek

On a clear day, taking off for Kathmandu is already an unforgettable experience. From the air, it appears that the Nepalese capital is only a little distance north of the Himalayan ranges. You will enter the passenger pickup area outside the building after customs. A Lekhbesi Holidays sign will be visible. You can expect our representative to welcome you to Nepal. A thorough trek briefing will be given to you after the transfer to your accommodation. You can spend the remainder of the day exploring Kathmandu and finishing up your journey preparations. After this vacation, you'll hear the Nepalese greeting "Namaste," which you'll never forget.

Typically, this trek begins in Pokhara. The next morning, we leave Pokhara after breakfast and travel to Nayapul before taking an off-road route to Syauli Bazar and Kimche.

We set off on foot from Kimche for the lovely Gurung village of Ghandruk. Buddhist monasteries and slate and stone-built homes are famous in Ghandruk. Our journey today is brief, and we'll be staying the night at Ghandruk.

In order to go to Bayeli Kharka via Tadapani, we travel through rhododendron, primula, and oak forests, leaving the terraced hillsides and Ghandruk hamlet behind. There are teahouses near Bhainsi Kharka, but there are no communities before Tadapani.

To get to a little pass, we'll keep walking through the wide open landscape. We will spend the night in a clearing known as Bayli Kharka after descending from this pass through rhododendron trees. The seventh-highest mountain in the world, Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167m), is magnificently seen from Bayli Kharka hamlet.

From Bayli Kharka, we travel for about two hours while ascending beyond the timberlines to reach Chistibang grasslands. From Khopra Danda, we descend through forests to reach Bayli Kharka. You might be able to see Himalayan Tahr (a type of goat) and Danfe (a type of pheasant) along the trip. Amazing views of Dhaulagiri, Damphus Peak, Tukuche Peak, Nilgiri, Annapurna 1, Annapurna South, and far down Sikha may be seen if you gaze above the horizon. The deepest gorge in the world, Kaligandaki Gorge, can be seen from the Khopra Ridge.

We have the option of walking for approximately 5 hours from Khopra Ridge to Khayar Lake (4665m). Hindus regard this lake as holy and hold that by bathing in it, one can reach Nirvana. We will trek back to Khopra and down to Swanta village after exploring the lake. The local cheese factory in Swanta village is well-known. Visit Swanta Village and sample the local cheese.

We will depart from the lovely town of Swanta on this day in order to go to Ghorepani, where we will spend the day. We will first make our way down through the fields of the hamlet till we get to a little river, which we will cross on a suspension bridge before making our way up to Chittre village, where we will connect to the traditional Annapurna Circuit trekking track. For a while, we will be climbing in order to get to the Ghorepani. 

Early in the morning, we climb to Poon Hill (3,210 m) to see the sunrise across the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna massifs, which include Mt. Machhapuchhre (Fishtail). Photographers who want to get the best shots of the Himalayas frequently visit Poon Hill. We won't leave Poon Hill without taking as many photos as we want.

After witnessing the sublime sunrise above enormous mountains and rice terraces, we will head back to Ghorepani and continue our hike to Birethanti. We'll board a bus in Birethanti and go through Nayapul on the way back to Pokhara. In Pokhara, your trek comes to an end. 

Drive back to Kathmandu on a Tourist Bus.
