Drive to Sikles and explore Gurung heritage
After breakfast, travel by road from Pokhara toward Sikles, a traditional Gurung settlement and the gateway to the remote Namun La Pass Trek.

This is the final major settlement before entering the remote trekking areas. Meals: Breakfast. Accommodation: Lodge/teahouse.
Begin trekking through forests toward Tasa Kharka
Begin the trekking section from Sikles & follow mountain trails toward Tasa Kharka. The route gradually leaves the village environment & enters quieter forested terrain.

The changing landscape marks from traditional settlements to the remote of the Namun La region. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Accommodation: Tented camp.
Continue deeper into remote Himalayan wilderness
Continue trekking from Tasa Kharka toward Dharamsala through increasingly remote mountain terrain. The trail passes through forests, open hillsides & alpine surroundings as the altitude gradually increases. With fewer settlements along the route, the trek takes on a true wilderness character. Walk at a steady pace & allow your body to adjust to the changing elevation. Reach Dharamsala and settle into the supported camping environment. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Accommodation: Tented camp.
Trek upward to the alpine meadows of Kori
Leave Dharamsala and continue toward Kori, one of the scenic highlights of the trek. As the trail climbs higher, dense vegetation gives way to open alpine meadows & mountain terrain. The surroundings become increasingly dramatic, with broad Himalayan landscapes visible from the trail when weather permits. Reach Kori & enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this remote high-altitude meadow before spending the night surrounded by mountain. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Accommodation: Tented camp.
Reach the remote high-altitude Boksi Taal
Continue from Kori toward Boksi Taal, following remote trails through alpine terrain. The landscape becomes more rugged as you approach the high-altitude lake, with open slopes, rocky sections and dramatic mountain surroundings.

Cross Namun La Pass at about 4,800 meters
