This amazing 13-day Khopra trek via the Muldhai and Poon Hill viewpoints offers the most spectacular views of the Annapurna mountains. The trek takes you to the remote and wild Khopra ridge (3660m), one of the best viewpoints in the Himalayas. The Muldhai Viewpoint Trek (3637m) is the newly-opened trekking trail in the Annapurna Conservation area in Nepal.
The adventure begins with a flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara. From there, we drive to Ghandruk, where the trekking begins! Along the way on the main trail, we will be staying in traditional tea houses. Once we leave the main path at Tadapani, we will stay in community lodges.
We will be trekking through remote alpine trails, reaching the Muldhai viewpoint, with impressive views over the Annapurna and Dhalaugiri mountains. Then we will continue until we reach the Khopra Ridge. Once there, you will be amazed by spectacular views of impressive peaks, like Annapurna South, Nilgiri, Vara Shikhar and Tukuche.
You will be amazed by the view of high mountains and snow-capped peaks, but this area not only boasts a gorgeous natural beauty; it is also culturally rich, with the unique traditions and culture of the Gurung and Magar ethnic groups. Bear in mind you need a good fitness level to join this trek, as we will be hiking and climbing for several hours each day.
On our way back we descend through open oak forests and alpine pastures, passing by Swanta, Fulbari and also the well-known Poon Hill viewpoing, where we will watch a beautiful sunrise, surrounded by stunning mountains. We go back to the main trail at Ghorepani and follow Burungdi khola to Nayapool where our trek ends.
Back in Pokhara, we will have some time to relax at this beautiful city, before we travel back to Kathmandu.On the last day of our tour, you will enjoy a mountain flight to the Mount Everest region, getting close to the highest peak in the world and to many high mountains in the Himalayas!
Then, back in Kathmandu again, you will have time to visit some World Heritage Sites and discover this amazing city, the capital of Nepal.

Mountain Guide
Hi! I'm Tshering, IFMGA/NNMGA certified mountain guide. I work together with a team of certified and professional mountain and trekking guides. If I'm not available to guide you, one of my colleagues will take great care of you.
I have been climbing since 1996, starting on the 8000m mountains in the Himalaya. I'm one of the few IFMGA/NNMGA certified mountain guides (Instructor) from south Asia, gaining my qualification from the New Zealand Mountain Guides Association (NZMGA) & Nepal National Mountain Guide Association (NNMGA).
I have successfully guided on Mt Everest on multiple occasions, and other 8000m peaks such as Mt Cho-oyu (8,201m) (3 times), Sisha Pangma (8,013m), Mt. Manaslu (8,163m), Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Mt. Makalu (8,463m), Mt. Lhotse (8,515m) and many more.
I have have also a strong international climbing experience and extensive knowledge of the logistics, planning and group dynamic that are also very crucial to successfully lead adventures in the Himalaya and around the world. I guided in New Zealand, Norway, France, Scotland, Thailand, Bhutan, Pakistan, India and Tibet. I'm also a rescue expert and a technical trainer for the mountain guides training.
I very much like guiding my clients in remote places, where no tourist goes. I like also discovering new routes and peaks. Please have a look to the different trekking and mountaineering expeditions I propose and contact me if you want to discuss about them. I can of course also guide you in more 'classic' routes, just get in touch with me and let's talk about your wishes!

Very helpful of explore share to reroute my trip to other guide. Very happy with Tshering Bhote guides! Only thing is we pushed to fast to summit. I think that was the reason we did not make it.

I had an amazing experience with Tshering’s experienced and highly qualified team including guide Sonam Shalaka and Sherpa Thomas Vechayba. I really enjoyed the concept of acclimating for Ama Dablam by doing the Everest Base Camp trek via Gokyo Lakes and climbing a number of peaks along the way, including Lobuche, rather than the typical repetitive climbs from base camp. It is always my preference to climb with local guides who intimately know the mountain and local customs and this was a perfect example of the benefits of that rather than going with a large group of westerners. Explore-Share always does a great job of facilitating those connections. This was an outstanding experience all around and I would gladly recommend Tshering and his team for any mountaineering experience in the Himalayas.

Very good acclimatisation program and safe 1:1 climbing as I always was well looked after. Communication regarding weather and conditions were meticulous so we could adapt as we went along, increasing safety.

Tshering prepared and organized the tour very professionally. All about logistic, difficult transport condition due to bad weather, skilled guide and assistant, and overall security was under his control. A good communication and a team spirit made the sucess of the Mera Peak ascent.

Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
