Itinerary

A remote trek into the heart of the Annapurnas. This journey through Nepal’s Annapurna region takes you beyond the main trekking routes to the elevated vantage point of Kopra Ridge, where wide-ranging views extend across the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. Beginning in the foothills, you follow a gradual ascent through terraced farmland, rhododendron forests and traditional Gurung and Magar villages, building naturally towards the alpine landscapes above. A defining highlight is the walk to Khayer Lake, a sacred glacial site reached via ancient pilgrimage trails beneath Annapurna South, offering a quieter and more remote Himalayan experience. Supported by our experienced crew and enhanced by our exclusive Eco-Comfort Camps, this trek combines immersive trekking, cultural connection and considered comfort in one of Nepal’s most rewarding region

It was a wonderful trek with sensational Mountain views and very peaceful with not very few other trekkers. Meet was a wonderful leader who went out of his way to make everyone comfortable and share his knowledge of the area. Nirman and Mohan were also wonderful to walk with and the whole crew were amazing.

World Expeditions were amazing on every level. The team in Nepal were professional, caring, encouraging, knowledgeable and great company. We could night rate this trip more highly. Thank you to our awesome guide Sherpa Meet and his team. A special shout out to our cooks too - the food was fantastic - healthy, varied, often locally sourced and tasty. The trip design was excellent too - each day was different and on many days we only saw a few other tourists. The accommodation was great and we loved the eco camps. Thank you for a great trip - we will definitely use World Expeditions again.

This was my fifth trip with World Ex over 40 years. Fair to say that I’m both older and perhaps wiser ??. I’ve always appreciated the itinerary planning that results in each trek structure. All my previous treks were over 30 days so this was my “shortest” trek but it remained challenging. Why? I had a hip replacement in April 2025. I am just 70 years young ??. I decided on this trek as a rehab goal. My first trip to Nepal in 1985 was to do the then Annapurna Circuit and it was the highlight of a year backpacking. I have to say that this Annapurna trip was the highlight of my return to mobility. Fair to say that the preparation that I did was adequate but I could have done more. There really wasn’t any easing into the steps or the climbing but to see what we saw you just had to jump into it. I also rolled my ankle towards the end of Day 2 and I thought immediately that my trek was over. I had strapping tape and Voltaren so I persevered and completed the trek “relatively comfortably”. I opted not to do the optional climb to Kayer Lake for several reasons. First was that I’d been to higher altitude on all my previous treks. Second was to rest my ankle and not take any unnecessary risk. Third was more personal and was to take the time to reflect and meditate on my life’s journey given the loss of several close family members since my last trek. Spending time in the mountains, while resting in the sun, was a special spiritual experience thinking of loved ones who had passed away while appreciating the loved ones supporting my current journey. I commend this trek to both the young and those young in spirit. A final thank you to all the Nepali staff who ensured the trek was special and to the WE staff who I had contact with ????
