Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November)
The Khopra Danda trek is the ultimate "off-the-beaten-path" alternative to the Ghorepani/Poon Hill circuit. It features a stunning ridge-top trail that puts you directly opposite the massive Dhaulagiri range. A unique aspect of this trek is the Community Lodge system, where profits go directly back into local schools and village development. This trek combines dramatic landscapes with a heartwarming social mission.
Dhaulagiri Proximity: Get closer to the world's 7th highest peak than on any other trek.
