We will leave Kathmandu early in the morning and drive to Besisahar,then we will head towards Koto through the rugged yet scenic journey that travels along the old Annapurna Circuit trek route, through amazing gorges and past stunning waterfalls.

We will travel a lot today crossing the river and enter the Nar & Phu valleys passing through beautiful woods, small cave shelters and pilgrims’ resting places.The last walk into Meta involves climbing a steep hill, from which the views of himalayas are breathtaking. Meta lies on a big open plain and consists of a few lodges, which are simple but clean and offer good meals.

Today we will encounter some of the unique, colorful Tibetan Buddhist chortens that Nar and Phu are famous for .We will hike through scenic canyons and gorges and reach a monolith that guards the steep trail up to Phu from where we can see the three villages in the area as well as the old “dzong” (Tibetan-style fortress) and the remains of two ruined fort situated atop the flatlands before the village. After a rest and refreshments, take a short walk up to the famous Tashi Lhakhang Gompa to pay respects to Lama Karma Sonam Rimpoche who came to Nepal with the Dalai Lama in 1959.

Today we will spend an acclimatization day in Phu exploring the tiny alleyways of the town or hike up to Himlung Himal base.We can also chat and sit with the villagers as they spin their yak and sheep wool, pound mustard seeds into a paste for oil and many other household chores.

We will retrace the route back towards Meta, but will stay overnight at the Nar Phedi monastery which will be a really nice and cozy place to stay with warm hospitality of the nuns.

Today we will leave Nar Phedi passing through a line of wonderfully painted, bamboo-topped chortens on the way into the ancient village. Nar village is quite lively with women chattting and weaving wool fabric for rugs and blankets during the day .

We will head towards the Kang La Pass, which will be quite a lengthy walk but an easy one. Fromthe top of the pass, we can enjoy an amazing view over Annapurna II, Gangapurna, and Tilicho Peak. Then we will go down the trail for our overnight stay at Ngawal.

Today we will travel experiencing relatively warmer weather and green scenery greener as we descend more than 2000m from the pass.The wide and easy trail passes through a beautiful lake just outside Pisang where we will have our snack and then take a four-wheel drive back to Besisahar.

The drive back to Kathmandu will take around five hours and then we will back again to our regular days reminiscing the beautiful memories of the trek.
