Khair Trek (Kopra Ridge)
One of the finest short camping treks away from the main trekking routes, with magnificent views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges
This Annapurna's
main trails are heavily trekked by many people, and finding quieter routes is a
challenge. This trek is both remote and quite short, passing through isolated Gurung
villages, beautiful forests and rarely-trekked high alpine pastures. From
Pokhara we pass cultivated terraces and tranquil villages with ever-changing
views of the stunning Annapurnas before leaving habitation behind.
Trekking
through rhododendron forests, we aim for Kopra Ridge (3660m), a spectacular
vantage point where we enjoy the stunning wild scenery beneath the towering
peaks of Nilgiri, Annapurna South (7237m), Annapurna I
(8091m) and the Dhaulagiri massif rising above the Kali
Gandaki Valley.
Our trip start from Nayapul- Birethanto and return route descends through
alpine country, on a different trail, to Pokhara after we drive from Dhampus
Phedi.
