Trip Overview
The Khopra Edge journey is one of the lesser known trips across the Annapurna however which actually manages the cost of perspectives on the goliaths: Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Nilgiri (7,061m), Bhara Shikhar (7,647m), Annapurna I (8091m), Machhapuchhre (6,997m), to give some examples. This trip visits the Khayar Lake, considered holy by Hindus, high fields and a brief herder’s settlement, winds its way through rhododendron timberlands and through Tibetan-like towns. Furthermore, obviously, along the actual edge.
The Khopra Edge (3,660m) is reached by a consistent move through snow capped glades and pastures and gives a fine perspective ignoring the Kali Gandaki Waterway far beneath on the planet’s most profound crevasse. From the edge the mountains are a display of gleaming snow and ice. With just one long strolling day (and which can be, and with a scene on the edge to match any perspective in the Himalayas, this trip is an extraordinary method to encounter the excellence of the Himalaya scene and mountain ranges in a more serene and isolation way.
