The Annapurna region comprised several trekking destinations, including the famous Annapurna Circuit and Upper Mustang overland trek and tour. Besides this most popular trek, Lupra Village is the most hidden and unexplored village trek. Lubra village is a small Bon village that only reminds one of Lubra village, which is on the side of Kali Gandaki Valley.

A small trek to Lubra village is best for the elderly to experience Bon culture and religion. The views are amazing over the Kali Gandaki, with superb views of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. The diverse landscape, typical life, Bon Monastery, Sheep Herald, and their daily life sunset at Nilgiri and walking on the barren land are the highlights of this trek. These treks start after the panoramic flight to Jomsom. The flights depart from Pokhara early in the morning beside the Annapurna I (8,091 m./26,538 ft.) and Dhaulagiri I (8,156 m./26,791 ft.). After landing in Jomsom, follow the Kali Gandaki River to Kagbeni. It is easy and pleasant to walk, as you may find fossils and Saligrams on the Kali Gandaki riverbank.
