Overview Of Khopra Ridge Trek (9 Days)

The Khopra Ridge Trek is located north-east of Pokhara, bordering the districts of Myagdi and Kaski.
This trek is distinct from other renowned Annapurna region hikes. It brings you to hidden locations off the beaten path, past villages and human settlements, deep amid the wilderness of mountains and dense woodland.
The fantastic tour through high hills in the shadow of the gigantic Annapurna range, where the trek leads you around gorgeous ridges in between the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Himalayas, facing an incredible vista of peaks.
