Discover Manang: Nepal’s Hidden Gem for Rock Climbing Adventures
When most people think of Nepal, they imagine snow-capped peaks and scenic treks. But in recent years, Manang has quietly emerged as Nepal’s most exciting new rock climbing destination. Nestled deep in the Annapurna Circuit, the high-altitude village of Brathang is now home to a growing network of bolted climbing routes—offering thrilling vertical adventures for both beginners and experienced climbers.
