One of the memorable passes you will cross is know as Larkya La Pass, this is always thought of as the highest and number one viewpoint in the while region, here you will be getting your camera out to take snaps of the mountains for sure.
Nepal’s Top Remote Trek
The Manaslu circuit trek is of the most remote treks in Nepal, it feels like you’re well off the beaten path when compared to the more famous treks here. The route allows you to pass through some very secluded and untouched villages – this is why the trek is widely seen as the best remote circuit in the country.
