Day 4:Sunrise from Muldai View Point to Khopra Danda (3660m.11km.)
A fascinating sunrise view with the sight of the golden sun emerging over the beautiful peaks covered in snow can be witnessed from the Muldai Viewpoint. After taking in this breathtaking vista, we will descend to the teahouse, eat breakfast, and then go to Khopra Danda or Khopra ridge. The seventh-highest peak in the world, Dhaulagiri, can be seen in magnificent detail from the trail’s up-and-down path through rhododendron forests. Even though it’s challenging, this is a fantastic hike, especially in the spring when wildflowers and rhododendron petals cover the trail. The trail is isolated, allowing us to appreciate the peace and be one with nature, except for a few yaks & mule trains. We will spend the night at Khopra Ridge.
Day 5: Trek to Khayer Lake (4500m)
We will catch the breathtaking view of the sun rising over the snow-covered summits of Annapurna South, Dhaulagiri, Nilgiris, Hiunchuli, and other mountains.

Khayer Lake is a revered high-altitude mountain lake encircled by mountains and glaciers. Around the edge of the lake, we can see numerous Hindu shrines. A swim in this lake is believed to purify and apologize for sins. Retracing our route, we will return to the teahouse of Khopra Ridge.
Day 6:Trek to Swanta Village (2214m)
After relishing in the stunning Himalayan vista from Khopra Ridge one last time, we will descend to Swanta Village. Because it is a rocky downhill, we will walk downhill with caution.
