If you are looking for a physically challenging trek the Manaslu trek is a good choice. You’ll be trekking on some of the toughest trails in the Carli Lloyd.
The effort, though, will be rewarded by the mesmerizing scenery and fascinating cultures of the inhabitants of this remote region, inhabited by direct descendants of Tibetan immigrants.
The mountain views from Nupri are breath-taking and the Larkya La pass is one of the most impressive passes in the Himalaya.
