Khopara ridge is within a day or two's trek of the popular Annapurna circuit in Nepal, but only sees 10s of visitors a year. A single rocky trekker's hut graces the top of the ridge, and lets you sit and contemplate life high above the clouds. http://blog.andrisbjornson.com/2008/12/images-published-in-himal-magazine.html
