Detail Itinerary

Alias to the Annapurna Dhaulagiri Trek, Khopra Danda Short Trek is one of the trekking packages of the Annapurna Region. This trek gets us closer to the Dhaulagiri Mountain and the Annapurna Massif. This trek to the Khopra Danda takes us through many of the most scenic places of the country. The team of the Ganga Jamuna Treks will take on an adventurous journey in the Annapurna Region to experience the mostly untouched path of the Dhaulagiri peak.

Khopra Danda Trek starts with a drive to sightseeing tour of the city of temples. We will explore the world heritage of the Kathmandu Valley. We will then visit the lake city of Pokhara and further drive to the village of Nayapul. From there, the real trek starts. We will move up and down the villages to get to the Khopra Danda. The major attractions are definitely the great landscape views of the Dhaulagiri and the Annapurna mountains. We will also be able to view the Machhapuchhre and several other unnamed peaks. We will be able to experience the hospitality and culture of the Nepalese people through this trek.
