Day 2: Drive to Koto
- Accommodation: Local lodge
- Meals included: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
- Driving duration: 10 Hours
A long but scenic drive takes you deep into the Himalayas, passing terraced fields, waterfalls, and remote mountain roads. After lunch at Besisahar, continue to Koto along the original Annapurna Circuit route. This rustic mountain town marks the edge of the Nar and Phu region.

- Accommodation: Tea house
- Meals included: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
- Hiking Distance: 17 Kilometers
- Ascent / Descent: +1410 meters / -420 meters
Today, your Nepal adventure tour begins in earnest. Cross a suspension bridge and enter the restricted Nar and Phu valleys. The trail follows the river through dense pine forests, cave shelters, and narrow gorges before climbing steeply to the open plains of Meta. Expect expansive views and your first real taste of isolation.

- Accommodation: Local tea house
- Meals included: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
- Hiking distance: 8 Kilometers
- Ascent / Descent: +300 meters / -100 meters
An easier but scenic day. After a golden sunrise over Annapurna II, follow the trail past ancient chortens and rock walls, keeping the Kanguru icefall in view. In Chyako, feel the remoteness and heritage of a village once central to Tibetan Khampa rebels.
Day 5: Trek to Phu (4,080 meters)
- Accommodation: Local tea house
- Meals included: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
- Hiking distance: 11 Kilometers
- Ascent / descent: +460 meters / -180 meters
A short but dramatic day. Trek through a surreal landscape of red cliffs and colorful prayer stones, past the village of Kyang and over suspension bridges, eventually reaching the ancient fortress-like village of Phu, one of the highlights of your Nepal trekking trip. This hidden gem is home to centuries-old monasteries and just 150 residents living traditionally.
Day 6: Exploration Day at Phu
- Accommodation: Local tea house
- Meals included: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
- Hiking distance: Short hikes
Choose your adventure. For a cultural immersion, explore the village and visit the 600-year-old Tashi Lhakhang Gompa. Or opt for a challenging hike to Himlung Himal Base Camp (4,920 meters) for epic glacier views and high-altitude solitude.

- Accommodation: Local tea house
- Meals included: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
- Hiking distance: 8 Kilometers
- Ascent / descent: +750 meters / -100 meters

- Accommodation: Local tea house
- Meals included: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner

The hardest and most rewarding day of the trek. Begin before sunrise and ascend to the Kang La Pass, where a 360° panorama of Annapurna II, Gangapurna, and Tilicho Peak awaits. After photos and a break, descend steeply on scree trails into lush lower valleys and arrive in Ngawal for a comfortable stay. Ngawal, on the route of the Annapurna Circuit, is certainly very different from the ancient villages just visited. The lodges are big, the menus are much more comprehensive, and there will be Wifi and phone signals in most lodges.
