Overview
Trip Facts

 

The trek through the Nar & Phu valleys combines high peaks and passes, glaciers, remote villages, narrow canyons, lovely forests, amazing rock formations, yaks, gompas and unique ethnically Tibetan cultures. Closed to trekkers until late 2002, very few outsiders have explored these virtually untouched villages or climbed the many 7000 meter peaks surrounding them. Nar Phu Valley trek offers a fascinating landscape and extension to the standard Annapurna Circuit tea House trek behind the Annapurna Himal. Opened in 2002, this route largely above 3500m explores narrow valleys towards Tibet. The peoples in these valleys have remained isolated from the Manang Valley folk for generations. Nar Phu Valley trek starts from Jagat following the popular trekking routes of Annapurna Circuit trail and then branch off from Koto to follow the off the beaten track to Nar Phu valley in the north of Manangand pass the Kang La pass with magnificent panorama of Annapurna massifs. The Kang La pass links Nar with Manang and three other Bhotia villages in the Neyshang valley. The valley system above opens up to a huge expanse of high snow-peaks, ancient villages and high altitude grazing settlements. Trekking to this hidden mountain valley offers medieval Tibetan culture in undisturbed form, dramatic mountains view and great alpine sceneries. We then head west over the Thorong La pass and down through lower Mustang before heading on to Jomsom. We promise to all our clients to provide quality of services and entertainment.
