The Khopra Danda trek is a “community-based” trek, meaning the money you spend goes directly to local schools and villages. You will walk through deep green forests and climb above the tree line to a ridge that feels like the edge of the world. The highlight is the view of the world’s deepest gorge and the massive Dhaulagiri mountain right in front of your eyes. For those who want an adventure, there is a side trip to Khaire Lake, a holy place sitting at the foot of the snowy peaks.
