The Khopra ridge trek is excellent trek for those who only have 10 days to trek, but still want to enjoy a peaceful place to hike. The main sacred destination is Khayer Lake at 4500m (14763ft). Khayer lake trekking is a challenging trek, especially in its last section. It can be found just by jumping on the Annapurna range. This trek is characterized by the friendly faces of local people, their culture and thick rhododendron forests that keep you happy. March through April is the best months for rhododendron blooms.

Khopra Trek Trails offers many routes. The Khopra Trek starts from Kathmandu and ends at departure. You take the Bus to Pokhara the next morning. This is a city near the lake where you will spend the night before you start your trek. The vehicle can be hired to take you to Nayapool. From there, you will start the Khopra trek via Poon Hill trek. This is a nice spot from which you can view the stunning views of Annapurna Himalayan Rrange, and Dhaulagiri Range. Poon Hill is also known by the Mini Annapurna Trek. Deurali is a great place to trek to Dobato. Deurali is where you can split your trek and go to Tadapani or Dobato.

Mulde peak is the best view of Annapurna. It is easy to find the guesthouse from here. You will see fewer people as you make your way towards Bayeli. From Bayeli to Shistibang, the trail descends steeply through thick forest. Continue onwards until you reach Shristinbang. You will reach the Khopra Ridge 3 hours further. You can see the magnificent view from here and far away. Khayer Lake is about a one-day hike from Khopra. Swanta, the next day camp, is where you can relax in Tatopani.

It is a short, easy trek on the Nepal Khopra trek. The view is spectacular from Poon Hill, Mulde Peak, and Khopra. You can see Dhaulagiri (8167m), Tukuche Peak (6800m), Nilgiri (6600m), Annapurna South face (72219m), Hiuchuli (641m), and Nilgiri (6600m). The beautiful, sacred and holy Khayar Lake is located at 4500m below Annapurna South. This view is even closer to Khopra Danda (3660m), but it's very close. The final destination can be reached by hiking for approximately 7 hours to Khayer Lake and 3 hours on Khopra Danda.
