Khopra Danda Trek
9 days · Hard
Trek The Himalayas
From ₹40,000
All AdventuresKhopra 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.
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.
This is for you if…
- ✓Nepal trekkers wanting Annapurna views without circuit crowds
- ✓Comfortable with 9-day teahouse trek
- ✓Good fitness for sustained uphill days
- ✓April spring bloom or October clarity seekers
Skip this if…
- ✕Expecting the full Annapurna or EBC-style established infrastructure
- ✕No fitness for sustained multi-day ascent
