Nepal Khopra Danda trek 2018

For my third trek with Buddhi, we chose the Khopra Danda trek — also called the Khopra Ridge trek — a rewarding 7-day route that looped via Poon Hill and returned over Muldai Peak. The route blends classic Annapurna vistas with quieter, off-the-beaten-path ridges, making it a great choice for anyone who wants big mountain views without the crowds.

Highlights included sunrise panoramas over the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges from Poon Hill and Khopra Danda, walking through rhododendron forests and remote Gurung villages, and the dramatic ridge walk toward Muldai Peak on the way back. The itinerary’s mix of well-known viewpoints and secluded trails gave us a balanced, memorable trek.

If you’re planning trekking in Nepal and want a 7-day trek that combines Poon Hill’s iconic sunrise with the lesser-visited Khopra Ridge and Muldai Peak, this route is an ideal pick — scenic, varied, and authentically Himalayan.
