Day 04: Tal – Koto (2610m) 5-6 hours

After breakfast, we set off on a challenging first day’s trek, winding through pine forests with teasing views of Annapurna II in the distance. The trail to Koto is tough—expect long climbs, steep stone steps, and rugged paths. If you’re not keen on the stone steps, be sure to ask your guide about an alternative route—there is one. Despite the effort, the scenery helps lift the spirits: cascading waterfalls, fast-flowing rivers, suspension bridges, terraced fields, and herds of goats scattered across the hillsides all add charm to the journey.

Day 05: Koto – Meta (3570m) 6-7 hours
In the morning, we complete the registration of our restricted area permits at the police check post before setting out on the trail. The path follows the banks of the Suti Khola, winding through beautiful pine forests and crossing several streams and suspension bridges. After a steady trek, we arrive at Dharmasala, where a picturesque waterfall provides a perfect spot to rest and take in the natural beauty.

From Dharmasala, the trail continues through dense forest before beginning a steep ascent toward Meta Village. As we climb higher, the landscape gradually opens up, revealing the vast expanse of the Tibetan Plateau. Upon reaching Meta, we are greeted with breathtaking views of Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal. We spend the night here, immersed in the serene and dramatic high-mountain scenery.

Day 06: Meta – Kyang (2465m) 7-8 hours

Today before lunch we ascend again so much that we reach above the tree line. The valley opens up and it becomes clear that you are at the beginning of the Tibetan plateau. To the north the valley is a kind of bizarre mountain desert with pinnacles and gullies. At the bottom left in the depths we see a bridge over a gorge that must be about 200 meters deep. This is the route we will take in a few days to the village of Nar. Northwards the valley widens and we pass several almost abandoned settlements. In the summer months, it seems that many yaks, sheep and goats are kept. Just before the valley narrows into a gorge are the 30 houses that form the village of Kyang. The stones of the mani wall at the entrance of the village are painted Smurf blue, which we also see later at the monastery of Phu.

Day 07: Kyang – Phu Gaon (4,080m) 3-4 hours

Today immediately after Khyang we descend into a narrow gorge that reminds experienced Nepal travelers of the Tarap valley in Dolpo. The path runs close to the water and then climbs up again. After some time of walking  the valley seems to come to a dead end, the river flows through a very narrow gorge. After climbing up, we enter the valley through the village gate of Phu Gaon. A beautiful row of chortens and mani walls underline the religious ideas of the peasant population. The village itself is located on top of a rock in order to keep as much agricultural land available as possible. From the top of the hill on which the monastery stands, Tibet feels very close. According to the residents, it is still a 1½ day walk to the border. By lunchtime we are at Phu Gaon.

Day 08: Phu Gaon (4,080m) acclimatization day

Today we explore one of the culturally rich Phu Gaon, an exceptionally remote and culturally rich mountain village. Situated high in the Himalayas, Phu offers a rare glimpse into traditional Tibetan-influenced mountain life, untouched by modern development. This medieval village, with its stone houses stacked along a rocky slope, ancient chortens, and long mani walls, exudes an atmosphere of timelessness.

We take time to wander through the narrow alleyways, visit the centuries-old Tashi Lhakhang Monastery, and observe daily life as locals tend to their livestock and fields. Interacting with the warm and welcoming villagers provides deep insight into their preserved customs, beliefs, and resilient way of life. Phu Gaon  is not just a place to see—but to truly experience.

Day 09: Phu Gaon – Nar Phedi (3490m) 5-6 hours

Today’s trek is scenic and moderate that retrace part of the route back through the deep, narrow valley carved by the Phu River. The trail begins with a descent from the high, barren terrain of Phu Gaon, passing ancient chortens, mani walls, and the dramatic ruins of old Khampa settlements like Kyang. With stunning views of Kang Guru and the surrounding peaks, the path weaves through rocky gorges and occasional grasslands. As we descend, the landscape becomes greener and slightly more sheltered. The day ends at Nar Phedi, where a small monastery run by nuns offers a unique and peaceful overnight stay, adding a cultural depth to the trekking experience.

Day 10: Nar Phedi – Nar village (4110m) 2-3 hours

Today the trek begins with a steady ascent, winding through terraced fields, rocky paths, and sparse alpine vegetation. As we gain elevation, the terrain becomes more open, revealing expansive views of surrounding peaks such as Pisang Peak and other snow-covered ridges. Along the way, colorful prayer flags mark the trail, and occasional chortens (stupas) and mani walls decorated with Tibetan inscriptions remind us of the deep spiritual heritage of the region. The final approach to Nar Village reveals a cluster of traditional stone houses perched beneath towering cliffs, surrounded by barren hills and vast skies. The terek is a perfect that allows for plenty of time to explore the village upon arrival and acclimate to the higher altitude. The peaceful trail and striking mountain backdrops make this segment a highlight of the Nar-Phu Valley experience.

 Day 11: Acclimatization/Explore Nar village (4110m)

Today we exploring Nar Village which is a secluded world of ancient Tibetan culture, striking Himalayan landscapes, and traditional Himalayan life. Nestled at an altitude of around 4,110 meters, Nar village is one of the two main settlements in the Nar-Phu Valley and offers a deeply authentic experience. The village is composed of tightly clustered stone houses with flat roofs, narrow alleyways, and intricately carved wooden windows, reflecting centuries-old architectural styles. Colorful prayer flags flutter from rooftops, and locals, often dressed in traditional attire, tend to yaks, prayer wheels, or gather in the sunlit courtyards. We will visit to the local monasteries (gompas), where we can observe monks performing daily rituals and take in the peaceful atmosphere of Tibetan Buddhism. The views from Nar are breathtaking, with panoramic vistas of Kang Guru, Pisang Peak, and other snowcapped mountain peak. we can also hike around the village to nearby viewpoints or interact with villagers to learn about their semi-nomadic lifestyle, festivals, and customs. Life in Nar village  moves at a quiet, spiritual pace, offering trekkers a rare and memorable window into the high-altitude cultures of Nar Phu valley.

Day 12:  Nar village – Ngawal village (3660m)via Kang La Pass (5306m) 7-8 hours

We begin today’s trek with an early departure from Nar village, climbing steadily along a rugged trail that winds through alpine meadows and rocky slopes. The ascent to Kang La Pass is tough, made more demanding by the thin mountain air, but the reward at the summit is well worth the effort. From the top, we’re treated to sweeping views of the Annapurna range—Annapurna II, Gangapurna, Tilicho Peak—and the vast glacial valleys stretched out below. Prayer flags flutter in the crisp mountain wind, adding a touch of spirituality to this high point of the journey.

The descent from Kang La is long and steep, cutting down sharp slopes before easing into greener landscapes as we near the Marsyangdi Valley. The scenery shifts dramatically—from the dry, barren terrain of the Nar region to the lush, verdant surroundings of Ngawal Village in the Manang area. This full-day trek is physically demanding and requires good acclimatization, but it’s a day rich in both visual splendor and cultural experience.

.Day 13: Ngawal village- Pisang village (3300m)3-4 hours

Today the trail descends gradually through beautiful pine forests and offers scenic views of the surrounding mountains. The route is relatively easy, making it a pleasant walk down to the village of Pisang, where we  can relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Overnight in Pisang village.

The duration of this leg depends on current road conditions, as the route can be rough and variable. Upon reaching Besisahar, we will switch vehicles for the drive back to Kathmandu. This part of the journey spans around 170 kilometers and takes us through scenic valleys, alongside rivers, and across winding mountain roads. Eventually, we will return to the vibrant and bustling city of Kathmandu, marking the end of our trek with lasting memories of the Himalayas.
