The trek offers you a perfect chance to observe and explore the village culture and lifestyle from close. You will be talking to people and getting to know them better. Also, you will be staying at home stays that will bring you closer to the villagers around the area.
If you love to enjoy the nature in a peaceful environment with fewer trekkers and of course less noise around, Khopra trek would be the best choice. In addition to walking through villages, the trek takes you through beautiful landscapes and amidst natural beauty in a wilderness. Also, the trek is made enjoyable by the peaceful walk through rhododendron forests. The great view of Himalayas can also be enjoyed along the trail. You can enjoy the beauties of the mountain peaks like Annapurna I, II and III, Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri and many others.
The major highlight of this trek is a visit to the scared Khayar lake. People consider this lake as the holy lake. It is also considered as the famous pilgrimage site in the area. We enjoy the great beauty of the lake and surrounding area. The perfect blend of natural beauty and pure village lifestyle can be observed in this trek.
