A community-run lodge on a ridge at 3,660 m, looking straight across the Kali Gandaki at the Dhaulagiri wall.
Khopra sees a fraction of the trekkers who walk to Poon Hill. The lodges are owned by village cooperatives, and your bed money builds schools in Narchyang. From the ridge you look straight across at Dhaulagiri, and most days you'll count more yaks than trekkers. On the way down you spend a night in Swanta and eat dinner with a local family.

It's clean, warm enough and simple, with twin rooms, shared bathrooms, dal bhat and a short menu. Think of a mountain hut more than a hotel. When we've described it properly beforehand, it has never disappointed anyone we've sent.
In October and April, yes. The ridge has limited beds and it does fill, so we book it as part of the trip. Outside those months you'll often have the place nearly to yourself.
