Overview

Walk through one of the best and hidden trails in the Annapurna Region and revel in the tranquil setting of monasteries and enjoy the vivid scenarios. This trek provides you an awe inspiring experience with a touch of Himalayan wilderness and takes travel enthusiasts and trekkers across pristine and unheeded Nar Phu Valley. Nar Phu Valley trek itinerary not only takes you across several high passes but also the beautiful villages, dense forest, narrow canyons and ancient monasteries. This trek has the max elevation of 5416m but all your ache in body during the trek will heal up when you enjoy the natural hot spring at Tatopani. A trek to Nar Phu requires a special permit as it is restricted by the government of Nepal but once you finish this trek, it will leave you and your group with some unforgettable memories. Explore the hidden valley isolated for centuries and witness some ancient forts, which are still sublime and untouched. The Nar Phu valley topography is a Trans Himalayan and similar to that of Tibet. Trials are still rugged that has changed little over the years. We spend few days in exploring this remote valley and cross the Kang La Pass (5300m) on the way to Manang.

This less trodden trail offer a more challenging and exciting to the popular Thorong La pass on the Annapurna Circuit trekking route. We take mountain flight to Pokhara to savour our exhilarating journey to Nar Phu valley and Tilicho lake trip.
