At Durmre we turn off from the main highway of Pokhara and head north to the large bazaar area of Besisahar and then continue to Khudi then pass the road through paddy fields and then to Dharapani.

We enter Nar Phu Valley today. Trek is about 5 hours walk. Trek through pine and fir forests, monasteries and villages to Bargarchhap enjoying the spectacular mountain views of Annapurna II and Manaslu and other peaks along the way. Trail continues through pine forests till Latamarang which takes about one and half hour. Finally we will reach Koto, a small village inhabited by Gurung communities.

We trek through the banks of Soti Khola and cross suspension bridges, encounter lovely waterfall and reach Dharamshala. As you go hight the woods become thinner and the vistas get wider. We continue our trekking through forest ascending steeply till Meta village on the Tibetan Plateau. The views of Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal look great from here.

Trail today is up and down and crossing of suspension bridge. Cross small high pass and trek to Kyang, another 3 hours trek you reach to Phu villages. Now the glimpse of real Tibetan life appears seeing colourful chortens and prayer flags. You can experience the diversity of culture, nature, religion and aspiring people’s daily life, and great Tashi Lhakhang Monastery. Continue to walk until glaciers stream with a half bridge appear. About a hour walk takes you to the entrance gate of Phu Village. Marvelous view of Himlung Himal and other snow peaks is clearly visible.

Explore Phu village today. Walk through the tiny alleyways of the town. Phu is an interesting village, and a day is well spent sitting with the villagers as they spin their yak and sheep wool, pound mustard seeds into a paste for oil, or go about their other daily chores. If you are fit and want more rigorous day than you can hike up to Himlung Himal base camp takes you through a glacial valley. The 7125 m. peak was recently opened for climbing. On the trail up you will see herds of blue sheep skillfully clambering up the steep cliffs. The return trip takes five hours.

You trek towards Meta descending the valley past several streams and suspension bridges and then walk up to a junction where the trail turn towards small settlement of Nar Phedi. This place is your overnight stay. The rooms are neat and clean and the nuns are extremely welcoming. Join them in the kitchen and watch them prepare dinner on a modest fireplace. At 5 pm they usually do a puja (blessing), which you are welcome to witness.

Short and easy day. Trek to Nar village takes about 2 hours walk. Plenty time to explore this lovely village and monasteries. People are friendly here. The area is rarely visited by trekkers. Nar is more active and lively than Phu village.

Today is long day walk. Start early to cross Kangla pass at 5240m and trek to Ngawal. It is not a difficult pass but it is long, you may experience some altitude effects. From the top an amazing view over Annapurna II, Gangapurna, and Tilicho Peak. The trail down is easy and fun. Ngawal on the upper Pisang route of the Annapurna Circuit is very different from the ancient villages. The lodges are big and have internet access.

The weather gets much hotter and the scenery greener as you descend more than 2000m from the pass. Set off early for the last few hours of trekking to reach Pisang. The trail is wide and comfortable and passes a beautiful lake just outside Pisang. Stop for a quick snack in the village, then drive back to Besisahar. There, stay in a comfortable hotel.

The drive back to Kathmandu takes around five hours. Enjoy a hot shower and the luxuries of the city once again! Spend the afternoon shopping for souvenirs in Thamel, or just relaxing.
