The Khopra Ridge Trek

Beyond horizons…into paradise, Go about it cool & easy…don’t look back.

'Foraging into some of the most rugged & isolated territory on earth, between the Annapurna massif & the spectacular Dhaulagiri range'…fortune smiles on the brave…

One of the most ecstatic views of towering high snow capped peaks from Dhaulagiri-Annapurna to Manaslu. Wading out into the great outback through serene forest of rhododendron, oaks and firs as you listen to the rustling of leaves in the blurring mountain winds, hiking across rolling hills into vibrating rural villages kicking with hardy mountain life hereabouts; with hardly any trekkers venturing into this part of the planet. You become the ‘anointed of nature’ once you step into this earthy region.
