Annapurna & Kopra Ridge Trekking
(16 Days, Camping/Hotels)
 

Many of Annapurna's main trails are heavily trekked, and to find quieter but equally scenic regions often requires more time than most people can spare. This trek is both remote and quite short and travels through many isolated villages, beautiful forests and rarely trekked high alpine pastures offering magnificent views of the Annapurna range. From the Pokhara valley, the trek passes cultivated terraces and tranquil villages with ever changing views of the stunning snow-covered Annapurnas before we leave habitation behind us. Trekking through rhododendron forests we reach the Kopra Ridge (3870m), one of the most spectacular vantage points in Nepal where we can enjoy the stunning wild scenery beneath the towering peaks of Nilgiri, Annapurna South (7237m), Annapurna I (8091m) and the Dhaulagiri massif rising above the Kali Gandaki valley. Our route descends through alpine country on a different trail back to Pokhara.
