The Khopra Ridge trek is a fantastic alternative to the popular Ghorepani Trek, taking trekkers closer to the majestic Annapurna massif and offering the opportunity to mix with various communities. The journey starts with a visit to the historic World Heritage sites in Kathmandu, followed by a trip to the picturesque village of Dhampus. From there, trekkers will make their way through the beautiful city of Pokhara, passing through cultivated lands, lush Rhododendron forests, and picturesque rice paddies en route to the charming Ghandruk village. This trek offers the chance to immerse oneself in the rich culture and tradition of the local Gurung people, including a visit to a Gurung museum and the opportunity to sample traditional local cuisine. Trekkers will also pass through small forests, cross rivers on bridges, and explore lesser-known villages as they make their way.
