Nar Phu Valley Trek
A challenging 16-day trek into a restricted, high-altitude valley, combining ancient Tibetan-influenced villages like Nar and Phu with the challenge of crossing two major Himalayan passes, including Thorong La (5,416m).
Unlocking the Hidden Kingdom of Nar Phu Valley!
The Nar Phu Valley Trek is a true high-altitude pilgrimage, taking you deep into a region that remained sealed off until 2003. Situated just off the Annapurna Circuit, this expedition is defined by its sheer remoteness and raw Himalayan wilderness. Your journey involves:
- Ancient Tibetan Culture: Spending time in the isolated, timeless stone villages of Nar and Phu, where ancient Buddhist traditions thrive.
- High Mountain Passes: Conquering the challenging Kang La Pass (5,320m), and reaching the highest point of the trek at Thorong La Pass (5,416m).
- Dramatic Landscapes: Trekking through narrow river canyons, sculpted rock formations, and wide alpine pastures, surrounded by giants like Annapurna II and Gangapurna. If you seek adventure far from the crowded trails, where every step is earned, this is the trek for you.
