Khopra Community Ridge Trek-Cost, Distance, Itinerary, In Nepal

Meet our agent and transfer to the hotel upon arrival at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport. After checking in, receive a briefing on the tour and spend the evening at leisure.

After breakfast, we will have a guided tour of some of Kathmandu's most historical and spiritual sights, which are also UNESCO World Heritage sites. The historic Durbar Square, the revered Hindu temple of Pashupatinath, the famous "Monkey Temple" (Swayambhunath), and the Buddhist shrine (Bouddhanath), which is also one of the world's largest stupas, all are visited. Around Himalayan Glacier's headquarters, we get our equipment checked by our climbing leader, meet our fellow participants, and discuss our trip at midday. In Kathmandu, we spend the night.

Early in the morning, we fly to Pokhara. From the right side of our plane, we get a fantastic view of the Himalayas. We are rewarded with stunning vistas of the Himalayas upon our arrival in Pokhara, the gorgeous lake city, featuring Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Machhapuchhre, the five peaks of Annapurna, and others. We next drive to Syauli Bazaar, where we begin our walk to Ghandruk. The hamlet is a significant recruitment center for the well-known Gurkha soldiers, as well as the headquarters of the Annapurna Conservation Area Project, which supports a variety of environmental programs. Ghandruk is where you'll spend the night.

The Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli mountains are all visible from Ghandruk. We carry on past Deurali and into the deep rhododendron forests from here. When the Rhododendron blooms, the woodlands transform into gardens of bright red flowers that may be seen from the air or from afar. After passing through a little crossing, we arrive in Tadapani, where we can see Machhapuchhre, Annapurna, and Hiunchuli mountains. Many Tibetans in the village offer items for tourists to take home with them. Tadapani is where you'll spend the night.

We quit the main trail after Tadapani and hike in a more secluded part of the Annapurna region for the following five days. Today's hike allows us to experience the region's unique flora and fauna, as well as the spectacular views of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna South. We reach Dobato through a reasonably simple trail, which is dominated by a wonderful view of Annapurna South. Dobato is where I'll be spending the night.

We descend through open land and magnificent forest to reach the Lower Chistibung pastures after breakfast. After that, we progressively ascend through woodland before arriving at Upper Chistibung, a temporary herder's village. On the grassy hill high above the trail, you might even see the beautiful Lophophorus (Danphe), Nepal's national bird, as well as Himalayan Thar. Upper Chistibung is where you'll spend the night.

To get to Khopra, we start climbing above the tree line through alpine meadows and farms. The tip of Annapurna South can be seen as we reach Khopra Ridge. We take a short stroll down Khopra Ridge to a viewpoint overlooking the Kali Gandaki river far down in this deep valley once we arrive in Khopra. We can also see the spectacular mountain vista from Khopra, which includes Mt. Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, and Annapurna South. In Khopra, spend the night.

We start trekking at around 6 a.m. towards Kaire Lake, from which we have spectacular views of the Fang and neighboring mountains. The Hindus consider this lake to be sacred, and bathing in it is thought to aid in the attainment of Nirvana. We can even see a lot of Hindu and Buddhist shrines on the lakeside, as Hinduism and Buddhism are intertwined in Nepal. A half-day hike from Khopra can be organized for those of us who do not wish to walk all the way to the lake. Today's meal will be brought from home. In Khopra Ridge, spend the night.

We descend the mountain from Khopra Ridge and continue downhill on a steep trail. Along the journey, we get more views of Mount Dhaulagiri, which serves as a wonderful backdrop to the local villages' terraced fields and traditional dwellings. Swanta village is where you'll spend the night.

We descend from Swanta via the village fields to a little river and stop to see the local water mill. We'll cross the suspension bridge and ascend to Chittre hamlet, where we'll join the main trekking track at Ghorepani. We descend from Ghorepani through a rhododendron forest to Ulleri, where we will spend the night.

We get to see the beautiful hilly terrain of western Nepal on our approach to Nayapul. Our walk will come to a close in Nayapul, where we will board our vehicle for Pokhara, the lovely lake city. Even from the city, we have spectacular views of the Himalayas, including Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Manaslu (8,156m), Machhapuchhre (6,993m), Annapurna's five peaks, and others. We settle into our hotel and unwind. We may also take a stroll through Pokhara's streets and simply enjoy being in one of Nepal's most beautiful cities. Pokhara is where you'll spend the night.

We leave our accommodation early in the morning to see the Shanti Stupa, a Buddhist stupa that TripAdvisor has listed as the second most popular destination in Pokhara. While we're here, we have a spectacular view of the sun rising over the Himalayas. After that, we continue our tour of the city's highlights, including Davis Falls, Shiva Cave, and the International Mountain Museum (IMM). We also go boating on Phewa Lake, Pokhara's largest lake, and visit Bindyabasini Temple, which is located in the middle of the lake. In the late afternoon, we fly to Kathmandu. In the evening, we will enjoy a farewell meal to commemorate the successful conclusion of our voyage. In Kathmandu, spend the night.

Today is the last day of our Nepalese adventure! We will be escorted to the airport by a representative roughly 3 hours prior to our scheduled flight. We'll have plenty of time on the way home to plan our future excursion in Nepal's beautiful land.
