The most favorite acclimatization trip from Manang is to gompa Bojo hidden in a rock wall high above Manang. Interesting are here not only beautiful views of the ridge of Annapurnas, but also the ceremony, which is supposed to bring you luck during crossing of the pass Thorong la.

Fields with yaks above Manang

The path from Manang rises straight up through the field, on which sometimes graze yaks. In the distance you can see up to Tilicho peak.
