It’s a great option if you’re looking for a quieter alternative to the more popular treks like the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) or Poon Hill treks. It offers stunning views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges, along with beautiful forests, alpine meadows, and traditional Gurung villages.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Spring (March to May): This is the best time for the Khopra trek, as the rhododendrons are in bloom, and the weather is stable with clear skies.
- Autumn (September to November): Another great time to go. The weather is dry, and the views are incredibly clear.
- Winter (December to February): It’s colder, especially at higher altitudes, but it’s less crowded if you want a peaceful trek.
- Monsoon (June to August): Not ideal due to the heavy rain and slippery trails, but still possible for those who enjoy the lush, green landscape.
The Khopra Trek is considered moderate in difficulty. It’s a bit more challenging than the popular Poon Hill Trek but not as demanding as the Annapurna Circuit. You’ll be trekking at altitudes up to 3,600 meters (11,800 feet) at Khopra Danda, so altitude sickness is something to consider, but it’s not as high as other more strenuous treks like ABC.
