About this tour

Nar Phu Valley Trek and Annapurna Circuit Trek offer a unique opportunity to explore Nepal’s breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage. These treks take you through the remote Nar and Phu valleys and the famous Annapurna Circuit, crossing two high passes: Kang La Pass (5,320m) and Thorong La Pass (5,416m). Together, they create an unforgettable adventure that combines stunning scenery, challenging trails, and fascinating insights into the lives of Himalayan communities.

Highlights of the Nar Phu – Annapurna Circuit Trek

This trek is a journey through Nepal’s hidden treasures. The Nar and Phu valleys, tucked away north of the Annapurna trail, are home to Tibetan-influenced communities. Their traditional lifestyles, ancient monasteries, and unique customs offer a glimpse into a world untouched by time.

Trekkers will encounter diverse landscapes, from lush green forests to rocky terrains and snow-capped peaks. The route offers spectacular views of mountains like Annapurna II, Gangapurna, Tilicho Peak, and Dhaulagiri.

The trek ends with a descent to Phedi, followed by a drive to the serene city of Pokhara. Finally, a scenic flight back to Kathmandu wraps up this incredible adventure, leaving trekkers with unforgettable memories.

Best Time for the Trek

The best seasons for the Nar Phu – Annapurna Circuit Trek are:

  1. Spring (March to May):
    This season offers stable weather, clear skies, and blooming rhododendrons, creating a colorful and vibrant landscape.

  2. Autumn (Late September to mid-December):
    Autumn is known for its crisp air and unobstructed mountain views. The weather is perfect for trekking during this time.

  3. Monsoon (June to early September):
    The trails can be slippery, and the weather is unpredictable due to heavy rains, making it less ideal for trekking.

  4. Winter (Mid-December to February):
    Winter brings cold temperatures and the risk of blocked passes due to heavy snowfall. While the views are stunning, it’s a challenging time for trekking.

Difficulty of the Nar Phu – Annapurna Circuit Trek

The Nar Phu – Annapurna Circuit Trek is a moderate to challenging trek. It includes long days of hiking over steep hills, rocky paths, and high-altitude passes. The highest point of the trek is Thorong La Pass (5,416m), which requires good physical fitness and stamina.

Here are some key points about the difficulty:

  • Trekking Experience:
    You don’t need technical climbing skills, but prior trekking experience is helpful.

  • Fitness Level:
    You should be in good physical shape and prepared for long hours of walking.

  • Acclimatization:
    The trek includes high-altitude regions, so proper acclimatization is crucial to avoid altitude sickness.

  • Hydration and Nutrition:
    Drinking enough water and eating well will help you stay energized during the trek.

Important Details to Know

  1. Permits:
    To trek in the Nar Phu Valley, you need a Restricted Area Permit and an Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP). These permits are mandatory and can be arranged by your trekking company.

  2. Itinerary:
    The trek typically takes 23 days, including acclimatization days and rest stops. It combines the less-traveled paths of Nar and Phu with the more popular Annapurna Circuit.

  3. Cost:
    The cost depends on the duration, group size, and services included, such as guides, porters, permits, and accommodation. Trekking in remote areas like Nar Phu is generally more expensive due to limited access.

Why Choose Nar Phu Valley with Annapurna Circuit?

The combination of the Nar Phu Valley Trek and Annapurna Circuit offers the best of both worlds:

  • Cultural Exploration:
    The Nar and Phu valleys provide an authentic experience of Himalayan culture, with ancient monasteries, prayer flags, and stone-built villages.

  • Scenic Diversity:
    You’ll see everything from dense forests and deep gorges to high mountain passes and barren landscapes.

  • Adventure:
    Crossing high passes like Kang La and Thorong La is a thrilling challenge, making this trek an unforgettable adventure.

The Nar Phu – Annapurna Circuit Trek is a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and natural beauty. It’s ideal for those looking for a unique trekking experience that goes beyond the usual trails. With proper preparation, good fitness, and the right season, this trek will leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime.

Itinerary

Upon completing passport and visa formalities, we'll meet you outside the terminal (look for your name board) and transfer you to your hotel. The afternoon is yours. In the evening, enjoy a welcome dinner, meet your guide, and attend a trek briefing, including a necessities check. Overnight at the hotel.     

Embark on a day tour of Kathmandu Valley's cultural heritage sites, including the "monkey temple" Swayambhunath, the historic Durbar Square with its temples and the Kumari, Patan’s Durbar Square, Pashupatinath Temple, and Bouddhanath Stupa—the largest in the world. A car and driver will transport you to each entrance and wait. Note: Entry tickets and lunch are not included.

The journey westward to Dumre and Pokhara traverses the forested Middle Hills, bridging the High Himalaya and the lowlands, through Hindu villages and terraced farms, crossing rivers originating from northern ice fields. Turning north at Dumre into Marsyangdi Valley, the route reaches Besi Sahar (760m) and proceeds to Syange (1 080m), skirting a hydroelectric project. The road ascends to Jagat (1 330m), a historical trade hub, and passes Chamje (1 410m) towards Tal via a suspension bridge. Tal, nestled in a valley with a backdrop of a waterfall and palm trees, offers a serene overnight stay.

Following the Marsyangdi River towards its source, the trail weaves through fields of barley, wheat, and potato, ascending through pine forests before crossing to the west bank near Khotro (1,860m). The path leads to Dharapani (1,960m), a vibrant Tibetan village in the Manang Valley at the Dudh Khola confluence. From here, the valley turns west, and the trail scales steep forested ridges and navigates landslides, ascending the valley's southern slopes. As you progress, views of Lamjung Himal, Annapurna II (7,937m), and Annapurna IV enhance the journey, culminating in an overnight stay in Koto, a village framed by these magnificent Himalayan sentinels.

The journey to the secluded Nar and Phu Valleys begins in Koto, leading north through the Nar Khola Valley. Over the next four days, trekking becomes challenging due to the sparse teahouses. The trail meanders through areas named after winter kharkas, indicating seasonal grazing fields. It’s essential to stay hydrated, as portions of the trail lack water sources, yet offer stunning views of the Annapurnas. Home to around 800 inhabitants, these valleys speak Nar-Phu, a dialect distinct from the languages along the Annapurna Trail, heavily influenced by Tibetan culture due to the local monastery. Despite the introduction of restricted trekking in 2002, their language and customs have remained largely unaffected, with conservation efforts in place. Locals engage in farming, yak herding, and harvesting Yartse Gumpa for trade, particularly with China, maintaining a traditional lifestyle with limited external influence. The route crosses the Marsyangdi River, winding up the Nar Gorge through ancient forests, with the trail occasionally carved directly into the rock. The journey involves multiple river crossings, traversing dense pine and bamboo forests before reaching the resting place at Dharamsala. The final stretch to Meta, Nar’s winter settlement, ascends past herder huts and terraced fields, showcasing the region's rugged beauty, with Pisang Peak and the Lamjung Himal framing the horizon. Overnight in Meta marks a significant milestone in this captivating trek through the heart of the Himalayas.

Leaving Meta, the trek to Phu ventures towards a chorten, then follows a level trail with views into the Nar Valley. As you head north past kharkas towards Nar Phedi, the landscape transitions into juniper forests leading up to Jhunam, a site of historical significance. The path then descends briefly before a steep climb up a glacial moraine, marked by a series of chortens guiding you to Chyakhu. Beyond Upper Chyakhu, the trail crosses the Mruju Khola, offering expansive views of the Annapurnas, and leads to Kyang, Phu’s winter settlement, with a picnic en route. The environment transforms into alpine juniper scrub as you approach Phu, crossing the Phu Khola to ascend the east gorge bank. This section features a narrow cliffside trail, steps, and dramatic rock formations, culminating at the Phupi Gyalgoe Gate, the gateway to Phu. The trek concludes with a descent to Phu’s main village, lined with vibrant chortens, offering a captivating overnight stay amidst ancient fortifications and cultural heritage.

Phu, nestled at the valley's end, rises from the juncture of the Phu and Kyajo Kholas. This village, with around 40 mud brick houses, clings to the slopes, centered around the remnants of an ancient fort. The community thrives on sheep, goats, and yaks for trade and labor, cultivating barley, potatoes, and vegetables during the brief high-altitude summer. Winter sees the village enveloped in snow, prompting a seasonal migration to lower pastures. A visit to Phu is incomplete without exploring the Tashi Lhakhang Gompa, a significant cultural site under the shadow of Chako Peak. Here, Anis (nuns) present a collection of masks, musical instruments, and thangkas. The gompa also houses a library and an apothecary, essential for studying herbal medicine, a vital skill for Lamas to become Amchis in these remote regions. A kora around the gompa offers panoramic views of Phu, while acclimatization hikes to Himlung Base Camp or Ngoru Kharka are recommended. The evening promises rest at a local teahouse, amidst Phu's serene and timeless landscape.

The journey back from Phu is marked by ease and swiftness, graced with the magnificent vistas of the Annapurna Himal from open terrains. Retracing the path to Kyang, you'll venture through the aromatic juniper forests around Jhunam, then descend to the higher trail junction. Here, the path leads past eroded gullies and a dilapidated fort to twin bridges spanning the narrow Dho Khola gorge. A leftward trail shortly after offers an alternative descent to Nar Phedi. The route to Nar commences with a challenging 600m ascent, initially steep and unveiling views of Kang Garu, before mellowing as it nears Nar's welcoming gate. The landscape opens, enriching the journey with sights of Pisang Peak and an impressive octagonal chorten. Nar, a vibrant village of approximately 65 houses that home around 200 residents, wraps around a natural amphitheater above barley fields, offering a picturesque setting for an overnight stay. This settlement, known for its bharal (blue sheep) sightings, presents a perfect culmination to a day of trekking through history and natural splendor.

Nar's vibrant community pulse surpasses Phu's tranquility. Dedicate time to meander through its lanes and the bustling central hub where villagers gather. Here, the rhythm of daily life revolves around agriculture, animal husbandry, and wool crafting for weaving and rug making, fostering a trade link with Tibet. Nar is also home to four gompas, each echoing the spiritual heritage of the village. Notably, the Samten Pelgye Gompa houses exquisite ancient statues. An exploration of these sacred spaces enriches the experience, culminating in another restful night at a local teahouse.

Setting off before dawn from Nar, you pass through its lower kani and ascend gently through yak pastures, rounding the valley towards Kang La Phedi (4,620m) with the journey taking approximately 1.5 hours to the high camp. As you climb, the views of Pisang Peak and its dramatic ridge intensify. The 700m ascent to Kang La Pass, taking around 2.5 hours, is straightforward in clear conditions, challenging only if snow is present. The trail zigs and zags to a chorten, then follows a ridge to a river, ascending to a cairn overlooking the Nar Valley, and finally circles a lake before the steep zigzag climb to the pass, marked by flags and a cairn. The descent unveils the breathtaking Annapurna Himal panorama, leading down steep and loose scree to easier trails and yak kharkas, ending in the picturesque village of Ngawal on the Annapurna trail. Here, at a gentler altitude, you'll find respite and spend the night, reflecting on the day’s majestic traverse.

The journey continues with a gentle descent to Mungji, home to a serene nunnery perched above the village. The path then leads to the visually striking Braga (3,470m), characterized by its houses cascading down a rugged slope, culminating in an impressive Gompa, the most ancient and richly adorned in the Manang District. A brief trek from Braga brings you to Manang, inviting a day of rest and exploration. Delve into the village's unique culture and savor its culinary offerings, marking a tranquil end to the day with an overnight stay in Manang.

Today serves as a vital acclimatization day in Manang, aimed at preparing you for higher altitudes ahead. Embrace this day of leisure with a visit to the tranquil Gangapurna Lake or the serene Bocho Gompa, each offering unique perspectives and peaceful retreats amidst the majestic surroundings. Additionally, a visit to the Himalayan Rescue Association office provides valuable insights into recognizing and managing Altitude Mountain Sickness (AMS), an essential aspect of trekking safely in these heights. After enriching your knowledge and soul in these serene locales, return to your teahouse for a well-deserved restful night.

Leaving Manang, the trail climbs northeast to Tengi and then ascends out of the Marsyangdi Valley, veering northwest into the Jarsang Khola Valley, with a cautious pace to mitigate altitude sickness risks. Passing through summer kharkas amid scrub juniper, the path gradually gains altitude, skirting above Gunsang, noticeable for its distinctive flat mud roofs. The route then leads to Ghyanchang, dips to cross a stream, and ascends past pastures dotted with grazing horses and yaks. Crossing a wooden bridge, the path unfolds to an ancient mani wall, guiding you to Yak Kharka, a hamlet offering splendid views, where you'll spend the night.

Today's trek involves a gradual yet persistent 500m ascent to the seasonal settlement before the pass, traversing a landscape that shifts from sparse vegetation to stark rock and scree. The path, winding through this stark high-altitude terrain, occasionally crosses exposed landslide areas before culminating at Thorung Phedi, the base of the daunting climb. This enclave features a single teahouse, offering a cozy refuge with a dining area and accommodations for up to 150 trekkers, though it shuts during the harsh winter months. Above Thorung Phedi, perched on a chilly ridge, stands High Camp, managed by the lodge staff. Despite the allure of a shorter trek to the summit from High Camp, staying at Thorung Phedi is recommended for a more comfortable altitude adjustment, setting the stage for the impending summit day.

Embarking before dawn is essential for the challenging day ahead, encompassing a 900m ascent followed by a 1,600m descent. The trek from Thorung Phedi starts with a steep climb up the valley, then tackles a more daunting ascent up an ancient moraine, eventually softening as it nears Thorung La. This pass, adorned with prayer flags, lies between Thorung Peak and the imposing cliffs of Yakwakang, offering sweeping views of snowy landscapes behind and the arid Kali Gandaki-Mustang Valley below. The majestic Dhaulagiri range dominates the southwest, while Dolpo’s mountains extend northward.   The descent to Muktinath, taking around 4 hours, requires cautious navigation over loose gravel before easing into a rockier path. The pilgrimage site of Muktinath, an emblem of Nepal’s spiritual coexistence, welcomes trekkers with its sacred springs, Vishnu temple, and Buddhist shrines. A short walk leads to Ranipauwa, where you'll find rest and reflect on the day’s journey, surrounded by prayer flags and the essence of tranquility, marking an overnight stay in this significant site.

The journey from Muktinath now intersects with a rutted road that traces the trekking trails from the lowlands, connecting with a recent Chinese road from Tibet through Upper Mustang near Kagbeni. A detour to Kagbeni, the gateway to the mystical Upper Mustang, is worth considering for its unique cultural and architectural heritage. Due to the daily winds that whip up dust between 10:00 and 16:00, trekking along this route can be less appealing, making jeep transport a favored option through the stark yet beautiful landscape. Jeeps ferry travelers to Jomsom, the administrative heart of Lower Mustang, where a change of vehicles is necessary for the journey to Tatopani, renowned for its rejuvenating hot springs. The final leg of the day's travel diverges from the road and the realm of Buddhist culture, welcoming trekkers back into verdant forests. The day concludes with an overnight stay in Tatopani, providing a tranquil retreat amidst nature's embrace.

Venturing into the Ghar Khola Valley, the trail veers southeast, drawing closer to the majestic Annapurna Range. This segment meanders through lush rhododendron, oak, birch, and magnolia forests, areas teeming with wildlife under protection. Along the way, you'll encounter the agricultural communities of Ghara, Phalate, and Chitre, perched on elevated ridges and offering stunning vistas of Dhaulagiri and the Annapurnas. The journey culminates in Ghorepani, a bustling tourist hub nestled just below the famed Poon Hill, renowned for its panoramic mountain views. Here, you'll find respite and spend the night, gearing up for the anticipated early morning trek to Poon Hill.

The journey to Poon Hill begins with an early, brisk ¾ hour ascent, culminating at its grassy summit. This vantage point unfolds unparalleled panoramas of the Himalayan expanse, featuring Dhaulagiri I and Upper Dolpo to the west, stretching across the Annapurnas, with Annapurna I, to Machhapuchhare and eastward to Manaslu. This sweeping view is backed by an endless sea of Sal forests descending towards lowland India. Post breakfast, the trek continues eastward through verdant pine and rhododendron forests, weaving over ridges with interspersed flat stretches. These high points afford mesmerizing views of the northern snow-capped peaks. The day's journey finds its conclusion in Tadapani, offering a serene setting for an overnight stay amidst the backdrop of the majestic Himalayas, ensuring a moment of reflection and peace under the canopy of stars.

The day's journey unfolds with a leisurely downhill trek through vibrant farmland and lush forests, sprinkled with glimpses of the towering peaks above. This path leads to Ghandruk, a contemporary Gurung village that beautifully blends tradition with modernity. The afternoon is yours to immerse in the local culture, offering ample time to wander through the village, delve into its museums, and absorb the rich heritage of the Gurung people. This exploration provides a deeper understanding of the area's history and traditions. Concluding the day, Ghandruk serves as a tranquil backdrop for an overnight stay, nestled amidst the majesty of the Himalayas.

Descending along stone staircases, the trail leads to the Modi Khola, originating from the Annapurna South Glacier, set within the stunning Annapurna Sanctuary. After crossing the river, the path ascends to Landruk and then weaves through scrub bush to reach Tolka. The journey continues for about two hours through enchanting forests, culminating in the ridge village of Deorali, offering expansive views of Pokhara and Lake Phewa, with the majestic Annapurna wall and Dhaulagiri fading into the backdrop. The trail then navigates down a broad, red-earth path to Pothana, where trekkers will find their rest for the night, amidst the tranquility of the Himalayas.

The final leg of the trek begins with an easy descent to Dhampus, a village renowned for its agricultural practices, nestled at an elevation of 1700 meters. The path then meanders through smaller hamlets, showcasing lush rice paddies, until reaching Dhampus Phedi, where it meets the Pokhara-Baglung highway. From here, a short drive returns you to the comforts of your hotel in Pokhara. The afternoon is yours to savor; whether opting to explore the serene lake and its bustling waterfront or delving into the rich heritage at the Mountain Museum, the day promises a gentle reintroduction to urban life. Overnight in Pokhara, you'll reflect on the journey amidst the tranquility of nature's backdrop.

After enjoying a hearty breakfast, we will embark on our journey back to Kathmandu. Rest assured, the vehicle provided will be of tourist standard, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable ride.
