In recent years, there has been a growth in the number of trekkers visiting the Manaslu region. We have witnessed that most of them come to reach the Larkya la, which is the prime spot of this region. As it has become normal to visit Larkya la, we have now decided to add a little bit of adventure to it for the trekkers. Yes, you have heard right, in addition to the Larkya La pass we have decided to add the Rupina La pass, which we are sure that it adds extra value to this journey.

The Rupina La and Larkya La Pass Trek is an exhilarating and scenic journey through the remote and captivating Manaslu region of Nepal. On this trek, trekkers set off on an extraordinary journey from the small town of Gorkha, passing through picturesque terraced fields and lush woods as they get fully immersed in the regional communities' rich cultural heritage.

The Rupina La Pass, which is found at an imposing elevation of around 4,650 meters (15,256 feet), is the first obstacle on this amazing trip. Trekkers who conquer this route are rewarded with breathtaking views of the spectacular Himalayan peaks and glaciers that appear to reach out and grasp the horizon itself. The journey continues through the picturesque Bimthang Valley, offering a peaceful break before reaching the grand finale.

Eventually, the journey will then brings you to the renowned Larkya La Pass, which impressively rises to a lofty altitude of almost 5,160 meters (16,929 feet). The high-altitude routes of this beautiful pass require fortitude and daring from trekkers, but the effort is richly rewarded with panoramic vistas of the towering Himalayan giants, notably the great Manaslu. Trekkers are rewarded with beautiful mountain views as the descent progresses, which results in a great sense of accomplishment. The Rupina La and Larkya La Pass Trek is an exciting journey that brings brave adventurers together with Nepal's untamed landscape and helps them make experiences that will last a lifetime.
