Khopra Danda Trek – 10 Days

When you arrive in Kathmandu, our team will meet and take you to your accommodation. Use today for rest and prepare for the forthcoming journey. Explore nearby neighborhoods, visit one of the local temples, or simply enjoy the unique flavors of Nepalese food.

Begin your day with a scenic journey from Kathmandu to Pokhara via the Prithivi Highway. As you navigate the twisting roads, take in the beautiful scenery of the Trishuli and Marshyangdi rivers. Eventually, you’ll reach the capital of tourism, Pokhara.

On the first day, we will drive from Pokhara to Nayapul. After that, we will visit Syauli Bazaar / Kimche (1,784m). However, our final destination for today is Ghandruk Village.

So we will begin our hike to Ghandruk Village from Nayapul. You’ll be walking on a smooth trail through a rhododendron forest. On the horizon, you can see the lovely mountains. You’ll be able to enjoy the pleasant sound of birds and rushing water as you walk down the river.

Then, towards the end, you ascend over farming fields, jungles, and lovely hill villages, arriving at Ghandruk, an authentic traditional Gurung tiny village.

The Ghandruk Trek is an excellent trekking option for those who are only in Nepal for a short period or who want to plan a fun-filled adventure in Nepal.

After completing our breakfast, we will be heading to Bayeli Kharka from Ghandruk. The path leads uphill through the jungle. The views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Gangapurna, Annapurna III, and Machhapuchhre are spectacular along the journey.

Your time will be spent strolling through rhododendron and oak forests. In the rainforest, you might be able to spot musk deer, pheasant, and red foxes if you’re lucky.

After crossing the forest to the Deurali ridge, you climb the route. To get to Bayali Kharka, keep climbing and following the relatively steep path.

Finally, we will be hiking to Khorpa Danda from Bayali Kharka. Danphe, Himalayan Thar, and other sights can be found along the journey.

After a few hours on foot, you’ll arrive in Chistbung, a bustling community. You can sit there for a while and relax before continuing on your way to Khopra Danda.

You’ll bring a packed lunch and lots of water for your journey today due to the lack of water along the trail. From the Khopra ridge, you can see more than 25 beautiful Himalayan peaks in the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges.

Today we will leave Khorpa Danda and head towards Santa. The Khayer Lake is the most notable element of the Khopra Danda Trek since it provides trekkers with a natural delight. Today you’ll embark on a tour of Khayer Lake.

From Khayer Lake will head to Santa Village. It falls for over an hour before arriving in Upper Chistbung. The settlement of Santa is located further down the road, passing past potato and barley farms and picturesque villages along the way.

Today we will be heading towards Ghorepani. We will leave Santa early in the morning and then head to Ghorepani. You walk down a lovely route lined with lush greenery.

Views of the Annapurna range can be had when walking. You can spend the rest of the day with Ghorepani residents once you arrive. You’ll get a better understanding of its culture and traditions.

When you arrive in Nayapul, we will transport you to Pokhara in a private vehicle. The rest of your day you can spend walking around the lake, shopping for souvenirs, or exploring the city.

Today is the last day of the Khorpa Danda Trek. We will have an early morning hike to Poon Hill.

Poon Hill will reward you with a spectacular dawn vista of the Himalayas on this day. Early in the morning, you’ll trek to Poon Hill for a breathtaking sunrise vista of Mount Annapurna and Dhaulagiri.

We’ll return to Ghorepani and climb Birethanti after seeing exquisite morning views of enormous mountains and rice terraces. After taking in the picture, walk to Nayapul, passing through magnificent forests and taking in the Himalayan backdrop.

It’s time to bid farewell to Pokhara and return to Kathmandu. Prepare for a picturesque journey along the Prithivi Highway, which will take you past charming towns and stunning terraced fields.

We provide a smooth departure from Kathmandu on the final day. Our team will transfer you to the airport and express our heartfelt gratitude for selecting us as your trekking agency. Leave with unforgettable memories and a revitalized sense of adventure.
