Khopra Trek
Village trek between Annapurna & Dhaulagiri

This small trek in the foothills of Annapurna is done in collaboration with social actors who work to improve the living conditions of the villages of the Magdi region through development projects - schools, clinics, reforestation, irrigation, etc.
For us, it is a way to get closer to the locals and discover their daily life on an original itinerary with a few nights at the community lodge and sometimes Homestay.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Off-the-beaten-track treks taking back roads, far from the crowds of trekkers in the splendid Annapurna region
- Nights with locals and contact with the populations via community lodges
- Rhododendron forests and panoramas of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri from Mohare Danda and Khopra
- The hot springs of Jhinu Danda
