About Khopra Ridge - Khayer Lake trek

Having been located in the second most popular trekking region of Nepal, Annapuranregion ,Khopra Ridge is massively popular among the tourists. This trekking is considered to be more rewarding trekking that  Poonhill- Ghorepani Trekking in the same region. The different flavor of hiking, the different taste of culture and the way life of the people and of course the naturally enriched vantage point for Mountain View make this trekking rewarding among the trekkers.

Popularly famous Khopra Ridge trekking commences from a beautiful tourist hub, Pokhara. This trekking mostly is combined with the other trekking in the same region like Annapuran circuit, Poonhill, Annapuran Sanctuary, Sikles trekking, and Gurung Heritage trekking. The highest point of Khopra Ridge trekking is Kongra Village which is located at the elevation of 3605m high. And this vantage offers superb view of snow-fed mountain views including Annapurna South, Fang and Nilgiri peaks, and most astoundingly across the Kali Gandakhi gorge, you will witness the massive bulk of Dhaulagiri dominating the really western skyline.

An awe-inspiring trekking trail in Annapuran region connecting to other popular trekking in the same region, Khopra Ridge trekking probably is one of the ultimate tourist destinations in Nepal which astonishingly pleases the trekkers and they undoubtedly find this trekking a memorable.
