Chyakhu is a winter village near the Tibetan border. It is in the Phu Valley which only recently opened to foreign trekkers.
Chyakhu is northwest of Kathmandu in the Manang district. The village is a few days trek from the Annapurna Circuit on the way to the village of Phu. The Phu Valley is connected to the rest of Nepal by ancient trails winding through rock gorges and snow-covered mountain passes.
