Detailed Trek Route

The Kang La Pass Trek begins from the Annapurna Circuit trail, following the Marsyangdi Valley before entering the restricted Nar Phu region. After reaching Koto, the trail diverts into a narrow and wild gorge leading toward Meta, Phu Gaon, and Nar villages.

Phu Village is one of the most ancient settlements in the region, with strong Tibetan cultural influence and centuries-old monasteries. The landscape here is rugged, isolated, and dramatically beautiful.

After exploring Nar and Phu valleys, the trail gradually ascends toward Kang La Pass. The climb is steep and challenging, but the reward is a breathtaking panoramic view of snow-covered peaks and deep Himalayan valleys.

After crossing the pass, the trail descends to Ngawal, rejoining the Annapurna Circuit route before returning to Chame or Manang area.

Are there any bag restrictions for visiting Pearl Harbor?

Yes, security at Pearl Harbor is extremely strict, and no bags are permitted at the memorial sites. This includes backpacks, purses, camera bags, and any other item that offers concealment. You may only carry your phone, camera, and wallet. Secure storage lockers are available to rent at the visitor center entrance for a small fee to store your belongings.

How difficult is the hike up to the Diamond Head summit?

The hike is considered moderate. While the trail is mostly paved, it is uneven in some places and includes a steep final section with 99 stairs. The round-trip hike is 1.6 miles and takes about 90 minutes. The panoramic view from the top is incredible, but we do recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and being prepared for a workout.

Is lunch provided on this all-day tour around the island?

Lunch is not included in the tour price. However, we will make a dedicated stop during the day at a location that offers a variety of local food options, allowing you to purchase the lunch of your choice. This provides you with the flexibility to choose what you would like to eat, from local plate lunches to sandwiches, at your own expense.

How much time will we get to spend at Pearl Harbor?

We typically spend approximately two to three hours at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial. This allows sufficient time to explore the museums and exhibits at the visitor center and to complete the moving USS Arizona Memorial program. This timing ensures we can also visit the other key sights on our full-day itinerary without you feeling rushed at any point.
