The Nar Phu Valley Trek is an adventure in the isolated areas north of the Annapurna Massif and south of the Damodar Himal that portrays the pure wilderness of peaks, verdant valleys, rugged terrains, dramatic cliffs, deep gorges, and unique land formations. It is one of the most pristine landscapes of Nepal, and it rewards several mountain passes, such as Nar Phu Pass, Kang La Pass, and Thorang La Pass. Indeed, unspoiled trails are packed with startling peak panoramas such as Annapurna, Dhaula Giri, Tilicho, Gangapurna, etc. Moreover, you encounter harmonious flora and fauna such as rhododendrons, oaks, pines, snow leopards, and blue sheep.
This 17-day trek promises an incredible experience that will leave you hypnotized and craving more. Nar and Phu are distinctive but nearby villages nestled in breathtaking landscapes, inhabited by the Khampas (Tibetan refugees). It is a golden opportunity to engage with the locals to learn about the real Tibetan lifestyle, influenced by Buddhism. They celebrate many festivals, such as Lhosar, Derchi, Yakchha, and other locals. You can have spiritual satisfaction by passing through various monasteries, gompas, chortens, and flapping prayer flags. Nar Phu Valley Trekking allows you to explore the hidden gem of the country that lets you breathe the air of the serene and pristine environment.
The trek begins from Dharapani after a rip-roaring road ride of approximately 8–9 hours from Kathmandu and initially follows the Annapurna Circuit trail up to Meta. Then, depending upon the Nar Phu Valley Trek itinerary and guide, you cross the bridge over the Marshyangdi River with the off-the-beaten route to the Nar and Phu Valleys, where you will be warmly welcomed with warm hospitality and genuine smiles from the local inhabitants.
After spending quality time at Nar Phu Valley, you will rejoin the Annapurna circuit route in Manang village. You move forward to Thorang La Pass (5416 m), passing through Yak Kharkha and Thorong Phedi. Then you will reach a pilgrimage site, Muktinath, after crossing the pass. You continue the Nar Phu Valley Trek in Nepal to Jomsom, which lets you indulge in the fascinating culture and authentic remote valley retaining traditional life. Then you head to Pokhara and enjoy its natural wonders. Tomorrow morning, you will have a scenic flight to Kathmandu from Pokhara.
