Trekkers on the way to Larkya Pass, the highest point on the Manaslu Circuit at 5160 meters, 12 days from the trailhead at Arughat Bazaar. The 16-day Manaslu Circuit is part of the Great Himalaya Trail (GHT), a series of trekking trails developed by Dutch aid agency, SNV, together with the Nepalese government, which crosses Nepal from East to West and when finished aims to cover 8000 kilometres across the Himalayas. Around 85% of trekkers to Nepal - approximately 100,000 people per year – walk in the country's three most established areas- Annapurna, Everest and Langtang. Around 45% of people living in Nepal’s mountains live below the poverty line. The GHT hopes that by opening new walking trails tourism can become a tool for poverty alleviation.
