Itinerary description
(POKHARA)-NAYA PUL-BIRETHANTI-GHANDRUK-29/10/2017
Kopra Ridge trek is located away from the busier trails of Annapurna region of Nepal and for four nights of the itinerary you stay in community lodges set up local villagers. The mountain views from Kopra Ridge are superb and include Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, Fang and Nilgiri and also from Ghandruk one can see Machhapuchhre (also known as Fishtail) and Hiunchuli.
The concept behind the community lodges at Bayeli Kharka, Upper Chistibung, Kopra and Swanta is that ownership of these lodges belongs to a village rather than individuals with profits contributing to community projects such as funding local schools. A training program has been provided to the local villagers who run each lodge covering food preparation and lodge management.
There is no doubt that Kopra Ridge is one of the best short treks in Nepal. This trek contains all of the elements of a classic Nepal trekking experience including villages, wildlife, panoramic mountain views and range of landscape from forest to high alpine.
