Ngawal is a stone village at about 3,660 m on the upper route of the Annapurna Circuit between Upper Pisang and Braga. The high trail gives wide views of Annapurna II, III and IV, and helps acclimatisation.
Quick answer: Choose the upper route via Ghyaru and Ngawal instead of the valley road for better views and acclimatisation.
