Khopra Ridge Trek is one of the newest trekking trails, which was introduced in the Annapurna region as a community trek to help raise the economic standard of the villages lying on the Khopra Danda route only in 2012. It is off the beaten path, far away from the popular routes in the Annapurna region that go through secluded and serene landscapes filled with enchanting views of Dhaulagiri (7th highest mountain in the world), Annapurna Massif, Hinchuli, Nilgiri Himal, and other peaks.
The trek offers you an incredible journey to venture into the spell-binding beauty of the Himalayas in Nepal, which contributes directly to the welfare of the mountain communities along the way as well. Most of the villages lying on this route weren’t receiving the expected visitors, struggling economically. As an alternative, this new route came to light to uplift the economic condition of the villages situated on the trail.
It is a community teahouse trek whose profits fund the local schools and health clinics. It is also the hometown of renowned educationist and social activist, Magsaysay Award recipient for the establishment of wireless computer technology in remote areas, Mahabir Pun, who has been promoting this trail since it was first introduced.
