Upper Pisang & Ghyaru

Follow the high route from Upper Pisang to Manang:
Leaving Upper Pisang: After the big mani wall and the suspension bridge climb the steep trail up to the Tibetan village of Ghyaru (2 hours) of about 80 inhabitants. You will be rewarded by stunning views across the valley of Annapurna II and IV. There is an interesting gompa in Ghyaru and a very friendly and talkative 83-year-old lama who will give you a tour of the gompa.
Ghyaru and the high route to Manang are highlights of the Annapurna circuit. Don’t miss them.
