Embark on a journey to explore one of Nepal’s best-kept secrets in the heart of the Annapurna Region in the Himalayas. Experience ultimate tranquility and serenity while undertaking the new and relatively unknown Khopra Danda Trek with Khayer Lake & Poon Hill in Nepal. The Khopra Danda Trek with Khayer Lake & Poon is a relatively new, but nonetheless world-class trek. It is also one of the more difficult treks in the region, and therefore recommended only for experienced trekkers and/or people with good levels of physical fitness. At an altitude of 3640 m, Khopra Ridge is the perfect destination for travelers to who want to get as close as possible to Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Nilgiri, and other mountains in the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Ranges. Khayer Lake, sitting at an altitude of 4,660, is a beautiful lake nestled in a small valley surrounded by enormous snow-capped peaks, including Annapurna South. When the weather is right, there are few places in Nepal as beautiful and tranquil as Khayer Lake.The Annapurna Region of Nepal is a true gem of the Himalayas. The Annapurna Region boasts a wide variety of trekking routes for the trekkers to enjoy. Some of the most famous trekking routes of the region include: the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek, Mardi Himal Trek, and the Annapurna Circuit Trek. These trekking routes attract thousands of trekkers from across the globe every year, and as a result, they are typically very crowded. Some people hike to escape the crowds and experience the peace and tranquility that only untouched nature can offer. For those that want to escape the crowds and still experience the amazing views that the Annapurna Region has to offer, the Khopra Danda Trek is perfect!Where is the Trailhead of the Khopra Danda Trek?There are many possible trailheads for the Khopra Danda Trek. Some of the possible starting locations for the Khopra Danda Trek are Tatopani, Nayapul, Tikhedhunga, and Ghandruk. However, the most popular and easiest way to start the Khopra Danda trek is from Ghandruk. Ghandruk can be reached from Pokhara by jeep, with the driving time between two and two and a half hours.Khopra Danda Trek with Khayer Lake & Poon Hill ItineraryAlthough there are many articles written about the Khopra Danda Trek, the information from these articles can be confusing, and even contradictory. This is because the Khopra Danda trail is quite new and relatively untouched. Currently, there is no consensus for the best route to accomplish the Khopra Danda Trek, with treks having different start points, endpoints, and stops along the way. In order to come up with the best itinerary for our clients, Roving Nepal Treks sent its travel planners to the region in search of the best route. The itinerary offered by Roving Nepal Treks represents what we believe to be the best route, combining safe and comfortable trekking with the best views possible.The trekking starts from Ghandruk. This village is home to a large community of local Gurung people, and is a model cultural village of Nepal. Ghandruk village can be reached by bus or jeep from Pokhara. After leaving Ghandruk, you will traverse through lush, green forests before reaching Tadapani, your first sleeping location. Trekkers will continue to enjoy the serene, forest environment on their way to Dobato, the next sleeping location on the trek. Dobato is home to Mulde View Point, a relatively unknown location whose views are even more impressive than those found on the legendary Poon Hill. After watching sunrise from Mulde View Point, trekkers will walk along a mountain ridge with incredible views of the Annapurna Range and Fish Tail Mountain, before hiking down a hill towards Sistabong, encountering dense forests and impressive waterfalls along the way.After spending the night at Sistabong, trekkers will have a brief, but physically demanding morning of trekking uphill to reach Khopra, a small settlement on a narrow mountain ridge, 3,660 meters above sea level. When you stand on Khopra Hill, you will feel as if you are inside a postcard, with stunning views of the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Ranges looming above you. The close-up views of these legendary mountain ranges make for a truly an awe-inspiring experience, demonstrating the true scale of the mighty Himalayas.The following morning you will hike to Khayer Lake, a small lake hidden within the Annapurna Range, surrounded on all sides by beautiful mountain scenery. On a clear day with little wind, the water from this lake is as smooth as glass, glowing blue and white from the reflection of the sky and mountains above. This day will be the hardest day of the trek, with anywhere from 8-11 hours of hiking and over 1,000 meters of elevation gain on rocky, steep trails. But the difficulty of this day's trek is proportionate to the views that you will see along the way. Stunning views of Annapurna I, Annapurna South, and Nilgiri, along with panoramic views of the Dhaulagiri Range, will be ever present throughout your trek, tempting you to stop for more pictures than you probably need! Next, you will walk down the same hill that you came up the day before, but this time you will instead head towards Swanta, a picturesque village dotted with small, hillside farms. On the way to Swanta you will walk along mountain ridges and later through dense forests, passing mountain streams and waterfalls, with views of the mountains on all sides. You will spend the night in Swanta, enjoying the beautiful views and vibrant local community.As with the starting point of the trek, there are different places where the Khopra Danda Trek can end. Some trekkers choose to end the trek in Tatopani, a village famous for its hot springs and religious significance. However, this itinerary instead heads from Swanta to Ghodepani, the nearest village to Poon Hill. After waking up early and taking a 45 minute walk uphill, you will be met with one of the most famous views in Nepal, the view of sunrise from Poon Hill. After soaking up the views, you will walk downhill towards Ulleri, where you can catch a jeep ride back to Pokhara.Khopra Danda Trek with Khayer Lake & Poon Hill DifficultyAlthough the difficulty of the trek until Khopra is easy to moderate, the trek to Khayer Lake is difficult. You must be an experienced trekker or possess a good level of physical fitness for this trek, as the walking distance each day is substantial and there are long steep, ascents and descents along the way, especially on the trek to Khayer Lake. The trail is narrow and and steep in some sections. The maximum altitude of 4,660m is well within the altitude sickness zone. Therefore, proper planning and a reliable trekking companion are highly recommended. Don’t underestimate this trekking route, especially the trek to Khayer Lake.Do I have to do Khopra Danda and Poon Hill in the same trek?No, your trek to Khopra Danda doesn't have to include a trip to Poon Hill. In fact, we have just as many hikers who decide to skip Poon Hill as we do who opt for a visit. Roving Nepal Treks also offers a trekking package that goes to Tatopani instead of Ghodepani after overnighting in Swanta. Tatopani is a small village overlooking a river, nestled between mountains. Tatopani is an import recreational and religious destination in Nepal, as it is home to world-famous hot springs. These hot springs are a perfect way to relax and recuperate after a long and arduous trek. Whichever you choose, Roving Nepal Treks is here to help.Are the Khopra Danda Trek, Khopra Hill Trek, Khopra Ridge Trek, Khayer Lake Trek, and Khopra Khayer Lake Trek the same?The Khopra Danda Trek has many names, but for the most part, they all mean the same thing! Danda means "hill" in the Nepali language, so saying Khopra Danda and Khopra Hill is saying the same thing, only in a different language. The small village of Khopra is technically not on a hill, but rather a mountain ridge that leads to the lower reaches of the Annapurna Range. In fact, there are hills with higher elevations on either side of Khopra. Whether you hear someone say Khopra Hill, Khopra Danda, or Khopra Ridge, just know that these refer to the same place and the same trek.Khayer Lake is a picturesque mountain lake above Khopra, at an altitude of 4,660 meters. Some Khopra Danda Trek itineraries, such as this one, include a visit to this lake. The reason why some itineraries skip Khayer Lake is because the hike to Khayer Lake is considerably more difficult than any other day on the Khopra Danda Trek. The trek to Khayer Lake can take anywhere from 8-11 hours, with about 1,000 meters of elevation gain along the way. The Khayer Lake Trek is recommended only for experienced trekkers or people in good physical condition. If you decide that you are not interested in seeing Khayer Lake as part of your Khopra Danda Trek, Roving Nepal Treks offers other treks which do not include it in the itinerary. Contact the travel planners of Roving Nepal Trek and plan your trek today!
