Nar-Phu Valley Trek

Trip Introduction

The Nar-Phu Valley trek is the remote and least explored trek. The Nar-Phu Valley is bordered by the Annapurna and Manaslu region. The Nar Phu valley is located in a hidden corner of the Annapurna region. This trek takes you through high peaks and passes, glaciers, remote villages, narrow canyons, beautiful forests, amazing rock formations, and Tibetan cultures that are unique in their ethical practices. This trail offers breathtaking views of the Annapurna range, Dhaulagiri, Macchapuchhre, Lamjung Himal, and Tilicho Peak.

The trail winds through wild and desolate landscapes. Following the small Gurung Village, there is an old monastery. This trek is the ideal combination of culture and nature. This trail also passes through the Annapurna Conservation Area, which is home to 105 mammals, 518 bird species, 23 amphibians, 40 reptiles, and 1,226 flowering plant species. You should be aware of the situation and mentally prepare yourself. You can complete this trek if you dare. The environment, culture, and wildlife on this expedition are all diverse.

The 12-day trek begins with a drive from Kathmandu to Koto. The drive takes between 9 and 10 hours. Koto is the starting point for our trek to Nar Phu Valley, where the trail splits. You will cross the George and suspension bridges. You’ll pass through several villages, including Meta, Phu Gaon, and Nar Phedi. Kang La Pass, one of the world’s highest passes, will be crossed. From there, you’ll make your way down to Pisang village. You will drive to Besisahar.
