One of the finest short camping treks away from the main trekking routes, with magnificent views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges

This Annapurna's main trails are heavily trekked by many people, and finding quieter routes is a challenge. Khair trek, known as Kopra Ridge is both remote and quite short, passing through isolated Gurung villages, beautiful forests and rarely-trekked high alpine pastures. This trekking will pass cultivated terraces and tranquil villages with ever-changing views of the stunning Annapurnas before leaving habitation behind.

From Pokhara we drive to Nayapul and Ghandruk village towards Gurung and Magar village. As we move higher through the rhododendron woodlands the views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and Machhapuchhre are astounding. On reaching Kopra Ridge our campsite is right below Mt. Annapurna I. From here we walk up to the sacred lake above Kair, a marvelous alpine experience. The trek back to Pokhara takes us via Ghorepani, Poon Hill (3,210m.) for one of the most famous panoramas in the Annapurna range.
