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. Moreover, during the Khopra Ridge and Khayar Laketrek, there might be altitude sickness for first-time trekkers. So, if there are any types of breathing difficulties, trekkers can inform their team leader or guide. Our guides and team are highly trained and well-experienced in mountain trekking in Nepal.

Hence, the mountain guide will rescue you and manage your safe landing from any kind of altitude sickness in the Himalayas. We are also carrying the oxygen canister and oximeter to control the trekker's altitude sickness and measure your heartbeats. Indeed, the Khopra Ridge Trek is a moderately adventurous trek in the Annapurna region. Ordinary physically and mentally fit trekkers can do the Khopra Ridge trekking.
