The Kang La Pass, standing at an elevation of 5,320 meters (17,454 ft), serves as the high-altitude bridge between the hidden Nar Phu Valley and the traditional Annapurna Circuit. The pass is the defining highlight of the region, offering a dramatic transition from the stark, wind-sculpted canyons of the "Lost Valley" to the lush, expansive vistas of the Manang Valley.^[2]
