After 2 to 3 hours of gradually ascend walk through canyons and gorges, you will reach a monolith.

From here, you can get your first view of the three villages in the area as well as the old “dzong” (Tibetan-style fortress) and the remains of two ruined forts, impressively situated atop the flatlands before the village. Just before crossing the bridge into Phu, a line of wonderful Chortens color the landscape.

Today is rest and exploration day, you can start in let morning and walk around the villages and monasteries, and Chortens, but if you still want to go a little higher then Phu gain then you can hike to Himlung Himal basecamp. You can decide this when you reach there. But this hike will but more challenging and adventure.

Today is easy and gradual to descend to Nar Pedi the same way as we trek Phu from Meta. But still, we will see beautiful mountains view and explore the beauty of the hidden valley in Nar – Phu.

 

Today is a very gentle day we don’t need to hurry to wake up this morning, we can start our day let, but it's only a 2 to 3- hour walk up to Nar villages, mostly we have to ascend through the wonderfully painted top bamboo shortens. We will reach camp today by lunchtime, after lunch you can walk around the Nar villages to see the local lifestyle and monastery.

 

Today is a long day, so get up before sunrise and head towards the Kang La Pass, which leads back onto the popular Annapurna Circuit. It is not a difficult pass, but it can be a long day as the effects of altitude will be felt. Once on top of the pass, you can enjoy an amazing view over

Annapurna II, Gangapurna, and Tilicho Peak. The trail down starts off steep, but if you enjoy scree running you can have some fun! Stop for lunch on a plateau overlooking the peak, then continue towards Ngawal.

Ngawal, on the upper Pisang route of the Annapurna Circuit, is certainly very different from the ancient villages just visited. The lodges are big, the menus much more comprehensive and there will be Wifi and phone signals in most lodges.

 

Easy day today, we will start our trek let in the morning.  we trek today from Nwal to Manag, approx it takes 3 to 4 hours. along we will have a great view of Mount Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV and  Gangapurna, Tilicho Peak including several local Tibetain villages and their daily basic lifestyle.

Today is another highlights day of this trek, we will cross one of the most beautiful and longest high passes in the Annapurna region. 

We will start our day very early in the morning to avoid the high and speed windy on the top of the Thorong la top (alt.5416m) and for a good clear view of Annapurna Himalaya from a close distance. if we go in let morning then we will miss the good view and the afternoon is always windy in the mountains,  so every trekker use to go early in the morning. and we will do the same. 

From Thorong Phedi to Thorong la Pass top generally, it takes 4 to 5 hours, the trail is mostly ascending,  and after the top to Muktinath,  3 to 4 hours mainly descending. On the top, you can stop for 20 to 30 minutes to celebrate your goal to reach the top of Thorong la Pass. From the top to Muktinath the trail is a mostly steep descent. before we reach Muktinath along the trail there is a basic lunch place here we can also stop for hot lunch before reaching Muktinath. 

Muktinath is a popular Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims site, where you can take a natural 108 top baths and visit the old monasteries. additionally, you have a magnificent view of Mount Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri mountains from your tea house including the Upper Mustang trek trail and landscapes, which are totally different than other areas of nature in Nepal.

Today is the last day walk of our trek, between Muktinath and Jomsom there are so many nice places to see including beautiful mountain views from a close distance. 

In total, we trek today for 4 to 5 hours to reach Jomsom from Muktinath. along the way to Jomsom, we can also visit Kagbeni village. this place is a more open and windy valley, we can't see much greenery forest for many trees in this region. this area is drier and looks like a desert.
