Trekking round Annapurna, the Jomsom Trek, Kalopani

Kalopani

Kalopani is situated nearly between the Daulagiri and Annapurna. Its one of the few places where you can see the Annapurna 1 on the normal circuit. Being already south of the main Himalayan peak range, there is more rain falling and forest are growing. The houses need now normal roofs. From the lodges in the upper part of Kalopani, one can see great sunsets and sunrises.
