Dawn lifts off Fewa Lake in silver sheets as your private car slips through Lakeside streets and into the hills. The road climbs; terraces and small villages slide past, and the Annapurna massif gradually steps into the light—sharp edges softened by distance. By midmorning you’ll be standing on high ridge roads where wind presses its cold hand to your neck and the valley opens beneath you.
