Looking for a rugged and off-beaten trek in the Annapurna region? Congratulations! You landed on the right page. Kopra Danda Trek is one of the best community treks in the Annapurna region and a bit off-beaten trail with amazing mountain views. The Kopra Danda Trek, also known as Khopra Ridge, is a moderately difficult trekking route in the Annapurna region. Nowadays, the Khopra Danda Khayer Lake Trek is one of the best trekking routes in Annapurna Region for beginners as well.
Khopra Danda is a great alternative trekking route to commercial and crowded treks in Annapurna like the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek. However, we will be staying a night in Ghorepani. Khopra Ridge is one of the best viewpoints and has magnificent panoramic views of Mt. Dhaulagiri, Mt. Annapurna I, II, III, and south, Hiunchuli, Mt. Fishtail, Mt. Lamjung Himal, and Mt. Nilgiri. Trekking in an unknown touristic area means you will be able to see the unchanged lifestyle, typical cultures, and preserved local heritage places.
