Nar Phu Valley Trekking - 27 Days

Narphu Valley Trek open to the visitors only in 2003 Nar Phu Valley trek takes you to the remote Nar phu valley inhabited by Nepalese Tibetans. Nar Phu Valley Visited by very few trekkers this exotic land offers medieval Tibetan culture in peaceful form dramatic mountain views and great alpine scenery in a Tibet-like flavor. On the second Phase of the Nar Phu trek we visit the immaculate Tilicho lake –the highest lake in the world. Narpu valley amazing trek is for those real adventurers in search of real Shangrilla and do not mind crossing through Challenging high passes like Masokanto La (5099m), Kangla pass (5200m) & Tilicho Pass (5230m).

We start Nar phu valley trek from Bensisahar following the popular Annapurna circuit trail and branch off at Koto to follow the off the beaten track to Nar Phu valley in the very north of Manang. With slow ascent and proper acclimatization we head for Kangla pass, hidden by swirls of mountain mist ahead of us, from Kangla pass at 5200m the wonderful panorama view of Annapurna massif appears remote and forbidding .The Kangla pass links Nar with Manang and three other Bhotia villages in the Neyshang valley.

We explore the interesting Nar Phu valley which has about 300 inhabitants who depend on farm animals, and till today yak herding is the basis of their income. After visiting Nar Phu area we trek back to manang, a beautiful village of Annapurna trail and continue trek to Tilicho Lake. After walking about 4-5 days through Tilicho Lake and crossing two beautiful but challenging passes of Tilicho trek we end our trek at Jomsom where we catch our flight to Pokhara and later to KTM. Nar Phu valley trek with Tilicho trek is a fully supported camping trek. Trekkers carry only day pack and walk at their own pace. From Kathmandu to the trailhead Besisahar we drive in private coach for about 5 hours.
