Trip Overview
The Nar Phu Valley Trek is a remote and less-traveled trekking route in the Annapurna region of Nepal. It allows trekkers to explore the hidden valleys of Nar and Phu, north of the main Annapurna Circuit trail. The trek is renowned for its untouched natural beauty, traditional Tibetan culture, and stunning landscapes, including views of high Himalayan peaks.
The Nar Phu Valley is well-known for its cultural significance and the breathtaking mountains that can be seen from there, including Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Tilicho Peak, and Lamjung Himal. The Nar Phu Valley trip is also considered one of Nepal's most adventurous treks. This is because trekkers need to traverse three difficult passes to reach the Narphu Valley. Trekkers who enjoy challenging journeys will find the Nar Phu Valley trek an ideal option. Other appropriate options include Mesokunda La, Kang La, and Tilicho.
A natural, cultural, and religious standpoint all point to the significance of this journey. One of the most popular destinations for hikers is the Nar Phu Valley, a naturally ornamented and secluded valley. Due to the Tibetan Buddhist people's ability to retain their ancient culture, this valley is known for its rich cultural heritage. Trekkers interested in Tibetan Buddhist culture can learn about and experience their culture by visiting this valley. It is cut off from modern interaction and contains many unique aspects relating to their culture that still need to be studied. An additional allure of this journey is the way of life that Tibetan Buddhists lead.
The way of life that they followed was distinct from the way of life that modern people lead because of the system, rituals, and customs that they followed. Trekkers can see and visit several holy monasteries and gompas along the road to Narphu Valley, which will make them feel at peace for all eternity.
Following the Annapurna circuit up to Koto, the Nar Phu Valley walk begins in Besisahar, which is reached after a bus ride from Kathmandu that lasts six to seven hours. To reach Nar Phu from Koto, you must travel through Chacha, Meta, and Junum. The journey back to Koto will take you through Nar village and Dharamshala after you have explored the secluded Nar Phu valley. Return to the Annapurna circuit and make your way to Jomsom through Thorung Phedi and Muktinath after completing the journey from Koto. Since the Nar Phu Valley is included on the list of restricted trekking zones in Nepal, prospective hikers should be required to obtain special trekking permission before venturing into this region. We will be in charge of managing trek permits for the Nar Phu Valley Trek because we are a trekking agency that is registered with the government.
