Highlights

Overview

Mohare Danda Khopra Ridge Trek is a relatively new trekking route in the Annapurna region of Nepal. It offers a unique and off-the-beaten-path experience for trekkers, as well as stunning views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges.

The trek starts from Nayapul, which is about an hour's drive from Pokhara. From there, you will hike through lush forests, charming villages, and across suspension bridges over rushing rivers. The trail takes you through traditional Gurung and Magar communities, where you can learn about their cultures and lifestyles.

One of the highlights of the trek is the Mohare Danda viewpoint, which offers panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. The viewpoint is located at an altitude of 3,300 meters and is a great place to watch the sunrise or sunset.

Another highlight is the Khopra Ridge, which is known for its breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks. The trail to Khopra Ridge passes through rhododendron forests, alpine meadows, and pastures where yaks graze.

The trek also includes a visit to the holy Khayer Lake, which is located at an altitude of 4,500 meters. The lake is considered sacred by the local people, and it is believed that taking a dip in its waters can purify one's soul.

The Mohare Danda Khopra Ridge Trek is a great option for those looking for a less crowded and off-the-beaten-path trekking experience in the Annapurna region. The trail offers stunning views, cultural insights, and a chance to experience the beauty of the Himalayas in a unique way.
