Panoramic Mountain views, Khayer Lake, Rhododendron forests, waterfalls, hilly gorges, and community villages inhabited by the majority of Magar ethnic tribes are the major features of this excursion.

Hundreds of pilgrims visit this site during Janai Purnima and sacrifice a sheep as the ritual is supposed to grant people with boon. In recent years, the number of domestic and international travelers visiting Khopra Trek has been rising.

However, if you are planning a hiking trip in Nepal, this trek can be the best vacation destination for internal and international tourists.

Peaceful trekking trail in Nepal
As per my interest, The peaceful Khopra Trek with Vertex Holiday was an incredible experience! This lesser-known hike in Nepal impressed me with its stunning sights and tranquil scenery. From lush green woods to panoramic mountain panoramas, every step of the journey was loaded with natural splendor that left me speechless.
The trek’s highlight was reaching Khopra trek Khayar Lake, which provided breathtaking views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri peaks. The hiking paths were well-chosen, with a variety of difficulties and rewards. Staying at small lodges along the road gave a distinct cultural experience, complete with welcoming hosts and tasty meals.
