However, the Khorpa Danda trek requires a licensed guide as per the recent decision of the Nepal Tourism Board. The Khopra Ridge trek is an off-the-beaten and higher-altitude trek, so due to trekkers' safety and security, it is necessary to have a professional trekking guide.

Whereas in global cuisine there will be noodles, pasta, homemade pizza, grilled chicken, burgers, and many others. We advise trekkers to eat vegetables, eggs, and carbohydrate food rather than meat. More carbohydrates and protein will boost your immunity and energy to go up the ascending mountain.

Safe Drinking Water

Safe drinking water is a crucial part of human life, and water is one of the most important elements in our daily lives. However, safe drinking water is essential during trekking in Nepal. Mountain and Himalayas trekking in Nepal has a lot of water resources around the path. In Khopra Danda trekking, there will be many water sources on the trek path. Likewise, tap, streams, rivers, ponds, fresh running water, bottled water, and in the hotel or teahouse where you can find the water. So, a crucial part is how to consume safe and freshwater among the several available sources. Trekkers during the Khopra Ridge trek do not drink unsafe water; it might have bacteria or high chlorine, which cause diarrhea, vomiting, headaches, and other diseases.

How you can make safe drinking water is boiling, using water distillation, using water purification tablets, filtering, and sealing bottled mineral water. During trekking in Nepal, consume only bacteria-free water. We advise the safest drinking water during trekking in Nepal is boiling water, which is easy to access, eco-friendly, and one hundred percent bacteria-free. If you are having bottled mineral water, make sure it’s sealed and has proper date and labeling. Hence, trekkers and travelers make sure to drink clean, safe, and fresh drinking water during the Khopra Danda Trek.

Difficulty level of Khopra Ridge Trek

Khopra Danda trek is a moderate-level difficulty trekking in Nepal, where trekkers will be ascending to 4,660 meters above sea level. However, the trekking trail of the Khopra Ridge trek is an off-beaten trail, with a unique landscape, and a dense forest, so the trek is moderate level. For the first time, trekkers in the mountain may need to have ordinary physical training before the 15 days of the Khopra Danda trek start. Ascending to the Khopra Ridge is just 3,360 meters above sea level, but further ascending to the Khayar Lake is about an altitude of 4,660 meters.
