Morning mist lifts off terraced fields as you step from a private vehicle onto a narrow village trail — the Royal Trek begins like a slow invitation. The path rises through oak and rhododendron, opens to an avalanche of mountain light, and gives on clear days a folded view of the Annapurna range and Phewa Lake below.
