Along the tranquil banks of Soti Khola, we begin our journey heading towards the hamlet of Meta. Guided by the sublime views of Mt. Manaslu (8,163m) and Peak 29 (7,181m), the journey enters the hidden valley of Nar Phu. Through the lush green forests filled with pine, oak, and juniper trees the hilly trail takes us on an ascending run heading towards Dharmasala. With the snowy summit of Annapurna II (7,937m) covering the skyline, we make our way towards Meta. Overnight in Meta.

The rising altitudes are reflected in the thinning forests as the journey continues its ascending run heading through sparse vegetation. Enjoying the mesmerizing views of the Himalayan panorama surrounding us, we make our way towards the hamlet of Kyang where we come across the ruins of castles and towers previously used by Khampa as they fled away from Tibet. Continuing on, we are greeted by the sandy banks of Phu Khola; from where we head towards Phu.

Taking a day off in the Himalayas is never a dull affair especially in the vibrant hamlet of Phu. The day begins with the sunrise over the Himalayas as we head towards the Lhakhang Monastery. After exploring the monastery, we continue our acclimatization hike to Himlung Base Camp. The trail offers plenty of views of the Himalayas and is a pleasant hike to the base camp located at an altitude of 4,080m. Overnight stay at Phu.

Today, we make our way towards the Nar Phedi located at the base of Nar village. The journey begins heading past several suspension bridges entering the lush green forests filled with pine, fir, and rhododendron trees. Crossing Mahendra Pul, we take on the gorge above Lapcha Khola heading deeper into the valley. Through the seas of prayer flags and Chortens, we are welcomed onto the Nar Phedi. Overnight in Nar Phedi.

One of the shorter days of the trek, today, we make our way towards the hamlet of Nar. The journey heads on an ascending run through the forested bends all the way to the top. Located on top of the Nar Khola, the hamlet is a cultural delight with the unique way of life of the locals. Another of the premium destinations of the journey we spend the night at Nar Village getting familiar with the locals and their way of life.

The longest day of the trek, today, we make our way towards the hamlet of Ngawal crossing the Kang La Pass (5320m). The Himalayan pass is the highest point of our journey and boasts panoramic views of the Himalayas in Himlung, Damodar, and Annapurna ranges. After making the difficult climb and relishing the views of the Himalayas, we gradually descend to Ngawal. The descent is equally stunning with mesmerizing views of the lush green valley’s down below. Overnight in Ngawal.

The final day of the trek we make our way back to the hamlet of Pisang descending through the lush green forests. As the Himalayas are eclipsed by the rising hills, we are once again welcomed by the lovely folds of the valley. Enjoying the hilly landscapes, we make our way back to Pisang from where we drive back to the town of Besisahar.

Once again, the journey takes on the bends of Prithvi Highway as we continue our journey back to the valley. With the Trishuli River beside us guided by the hilly landscape, the way back is equally pleasant. Back at Kathmandu, we head directly back to the hotel just in time for a lovely farewell dinner.
