Khopra Danda Trek with Poonhill Overview
Trekking in Annapurna Region is full of the splendors of Mother Nature and the majesties of the mighty Himalayas. Some of the trekking routes of this region are world-famous. Annapurna Base Camp Trek, Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek, and Annapurna Circuit Trek are well-known trekking trails in this region. Nowadays, most adventure searchers are attracted to more untouched and untainted destinations, and Khopra Danda Trek with Poonhill is the best option for those.
The Khopra Danda Trek will lead you to experience tranquility and breathtaking views of Machhapuchhre, the Dhaulagiri Mountains, and the Annapurna Himalayan range. Moreover, it will take you off the beaten path to witness the never-before-seen landscape and explore lesser-known areas in Annapurna Nepal.
The Khopra Danda Trek with Poonhill starts with the bus drive or flight to Pokhara. And continue driving to Ghandruk, the largest Gurung village in the region. Visiting the Gurung museum and experiencing their culture and tradition with the breathtaking view of the mountain vista is unforgettable.
After three days of hiking, you will reach Khopra Danda - the iconic destination of the trip. The stunning view of Mt. Annapurna and Dhaulagiri looming large was worth all the pain endured during trekking. Indescribable in a few words, the beauty of hilly hamlet lies over the clouds. Panoramic mountain vistas, as well as a laid-back lifestyle of people, will make your trip momentous.
The hiking of Khayer Lake is another highlight of this best off-the-beaten trekking in Nepal at the Annapurna Region. The mirage of Mt. Dhaulagiri on its water is a fascinating delight to witness. From this magnificent place, the trek returns to Khopra Ridge.
Once we have reached the ultimate destination of our trip, our journey continues to the hill town of Ghorepani. This settlement, inhabited by the Magar people, is considered to be one of the best places for a short trek in Nepal. Trek to Poon Hill (3210 m), offers the magnificent sunrise view of Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, Himchuli, Annapurna, and many other stunning peaks, as the sun's rays delicately kiss the snow-clad mountains.
Once you have witnessed the stunning sunrise and mountain views, the trail will lead you through terraced farmlands and vibrant Rhododendron forests towards Heil. You will also have the opportunity to observe the daily lifestyle of herders and locals before heading back to Pokhara.
