Today of your trekking adventure, you’ll embark on a journey from Sikles to Huwu (Hugu), marking the initial leg of your trek. Following breakfast, you’ll begin your ascent towards Huwu, navigating stone stairs and paths that wind uphill.

As you leave Sikles village behind, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of nearby peaks such as Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal. The trail then leads you along narrow paths skirting the edges of hills, adding an element of thrill and adventure to your trekking experience. Descending from these heights, you’ll encounter the majestic Edi Jharna waterfall, standing at 64 meters tall. Take some time to capture its beauty and rejuvenate before continuing your journey.

The path ahead presents a slightly more challenging terrain, with steep sections and large stone paths crossing small rivers and bridges. Persisting along this route, you’ll eventually arrive at the tranquil Huwu village after a trek lasting 6-7 hours. Prepare for an overnight camp in Huwu, surrounded by the serenity of the Himalayan landscape.

Today’s trek takes you from Huwu to Kahphuche Lake and back to Huwu. Kahphuche Lake, the lowest glacial lake in Nepal, sits at an elevation of 2,450 meters above sea level. The trail to the lake is relatively easy and short compared to previous routes, offering ample opportunities to admire the stunning mountain vistas and serene wildlife along the way.

After approximately 2 hours of trekking, you’ll arrive at Kahphuche Lake, greeted by the majestic mountains mirrored in its crystal-clear blue waters. The captivating scenery of the lake is sure to leave you in awe. Take some time to soak in the beauty, capture photographs, and immerse yourself in the tranquil surroundings before retracing your steps back to Huwu village.

The total trekking duration for the day is around 4 hours, culminating in an overnight camp in Huwu, where you can rest and rejuvenate amidst the Himalayan wilderness.

On this day, you’ll journey back to Sikles from Huwu. Following breakfast, you’ll retrace your steps along the familiar trail you traversed earlier.
