About this trek

The Khopra-Mulde trek is a combined trek that includes both Mulde Viewpoint and Khopra Danda (Khopra Ridge). According to most trekkers, Mulde Viewpoint is more beautiful than Poon Hill. This trek is one of the most scenic and peaceful treks in the Annapurna region. 

Mulde Viewpoint (3,637 m) is an epic sunrise spot. You will enjoy views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), which make you never want to leave. Khopra Ridge (3,660 m) has quiet, ridge-top lodges with sweeping mountain views.
