Trip Overview

The Teri La Pass trek is a beautiful but challenging trekking route in the Manang region of Nepal. It’s less traveled compared to some of the more popular treks like Annapurna Circuit or Everest Base Camp, offering a more remote and pristine experience. The trek typically starts from Jagat and goes through villages like Dharapani, Koto, and Nar before reaching the Teri La Pass. The pass itself offers stunning panoramic views of the Annapurna and Manaslu ranges.
