The Rupina La Pass Trek is one of the most demanding yet rewarding trekking routes in the Gorkha district of the Manaslu Region. Officially opened to tourists in 1991, this trek remains relatively unexplored, offering an off-the-beaten-path experience for adventure enthusiasts. The trek provides breathtaking views of the Himalayan giants, including Manaslu (8,163m), Peak 29 (7,871m), Himal Chuli (7,893m), Boudha Himal (6,672m), and the Ganesh Himal range.

The journey traverses through remote valleys rich in Tibetan culture, passing through picturesque landscapes, dense forests, and high-altitude terrain. The trek is home to diverse wildlife and an array of bird species. As you cross the challenging Rupina La Pass (4,520m), the route descends toward the Marshyangdi River before concluding at Besisahar, where you will drive back to Kathmandu.

With extensive experience in operating treks in this region, we ensure a well-organized and enriching journey through one of Nepal’s most remote and culturally significant trails.
