Thereafter, the descent to Phu and Naar, two valleys, two villages frozen in time. At the top of the Kang Pass, it is possible to see Manaslu (8163 meters) as well as the Annapurna mountain range. Then, the journey joins the famous Thorong pass, located at more than 5400 meters above sea level. Before returning to Kathmandu, a well deserved rest and visit the magnificent city of Pokhara. The latter is the second most populous city in Nepal with more than 500,000 inhabitants.
