About This Adventure
Khopra Danda (also called Khopra Ridge) is a hidden gem of the Annapurna Conservation Area — a quieter alternative to ABC and the Annapurna Circuit that delivers exceptional close-up views of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli. The ridge teahouse sits at 3,640m with a 360° Himalayan panorama.
Highlights
What Makes It Special
The Khopra Danda ridge camp at dawn — Dhaulagiri to the west and the entire Annapurna South face to the east — is one of Nepal's great unsung viewpoints. Far fewer trekkers than on the main Annapurna trails.
Suitability
Is This For You?
This is for you if…
- ✓Nepal trekkers wanting Annapurna views without circuit crowds
- ✓Comfortable with 9-day teahouse trek
