Our trekking adventure enters towards the solitary Nar and Phu valleys. The entire region will feel different to the popular Annapurna circuit trail. But the beauty of trekking in the region is in enjoying the quiet and magnificent surroundings of the mountains. Our walk continues through the trail that follows the SotiKhola course. The destination for our walk today is Meta, a small settlement in the region. Meta is Tibetan Buddhist village that offers wonderful mountain cultural riches for us to explore and enjoy. There are only a fewer trekkers in the region so we can enjoy the beautiful nature, wilderness and the views of the mountains mostly to ourselves.
We continue the trek in through the wilderness of the mountains. The walk today will take us to Phu village. We will feel the wilderness of the mountains growing even wilder as we traverse the trail higher. Phu is a beautiful ancient village that offers a timeless cultural heritage of the region. We will walk past incredible landscapes of the mountains. The trail passes through jagged and rugged mountainous landscape that makes the walk an incredible adventure. We eventually make it to Phu village to stay overnight where we can explore the surroundings after reaching there.
