Tour Overview

The Khopra Ridge Trek has situated away from the busier trails of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range but provides equally remarkable views of the Himalayas including Mt. Dhaulagiri, Mt. fishtail, mt. Annapurna South, Fang, and mt. Nilgiri. Another highlight of our trek is the holy Kayer Lake, which requires a little wandering away from the Khopra Danda. After reaching Tadapani we leave the main trail and for the next few days, trek along a remote trail while staying in the local community eco-lodge. This trek is suitable for those who prefer to enjoy the grandeur of Mt. Annapurna while also taking pleasure in the solace of a more remote trekking trail. This trip complete with a unique heritage, culture, and breathtaking mountain landscape, will be well worth your time.

Highlights

Panoramic view of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna mountain range.
Visit Khayer Lake elevation at 4,660 m
Trekking through rhododendron forests and past quaint Magar & Gurung villages
Experience an off the beaten trekking filled with fascinating trek trails
See stunning views of Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Annapurna I, Fishtail and other mountains

Great Trek

Uma Holidays was an excellent choice. I did a lot of research before and saw that overall they had the best reviews and feedback. Our guide and assistant were amazing. They made the trip even better than it was. They were caring and helpful and we didn’t have to worry about where to stay, what to eat, and where to go.

Great Trip

I did the Khopra Danda Trek with Uma Holidays and had a very good time! He did everything possible to make me comfortable. The trek itself was very good, although day 4 was a bit of a tough one. Views where amazing, food was good, rooms usually had a mild to warm shower and were clean.

Max

Superb

03-Sep-2019

Professional service and well organized. Our Khopra Danda trek with our guide Sherpas was very experienced and a great person to spend our time on the trek with. He was a wealth of knowledge and was able to answer every question he had about the Himalayas, the culture, and the trek. He told us that it was the job of the guide to make sure we walk, eat, sleep, and enjoyable.

Highly Recommended

25-Oct-2019

The trek to was amazing. Steep ascends followed with even more challenging descents. Without our guide and his excellent crew our trip would not have been the same. Even helped prepare the food and served us with such a hospitality that our hearts stayed warm during the entire trip. The food and the service were just more than anyone could expect!

Juliana

Beautiful Trek

27-Nov-2019

An outstanding trip offering a wide range of experiences and inspirational moments. As always, the trip was well led, well organized and offered excellent value for money. Some of the trekking was quite strenuous and tricky under foot but overall, it more than lived up to our expectations as all the effort was rewarded with spectacular views.

Bailey
