This trek through the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges will take you through villages, rice paddies and moss-covered Rhododendron forests, to Kopra Ridge with glorious views of Dhaulagiri and Kali Gandaki, the world's deepest gorge. From here ancient pilgrim trails lead to the sacred Khayer Lake, high up in the mountains. This trek takes you away from the crowds on little-hiked trails.

Adventure Coordinators Insider Tip:
I did this beautiful trek in late October, a very good time. There was some snow and cold weather to content with on the higher altitudes while in the valleys the rice harvest was in full swing.
