The Giant Wall of Khopra
While Dhaulagiri dominates the western horizon across the Kali Gandaki Valley, Annapurna South (7,219m) dominates the eastern horizon. The mountain rises steeply from the forests of Chhistibung and Swanta, culminating in a jagged, snow-draped ridge that sits right behind the community eco-lodge.
During the afternoon, you can watch clouds form and sweep across the rock ridges of Annapurna South, while in the evening, the setting sun casts a warm, golden-orange alpenglow across its massive southwest face.
