The Nar Phu valley trek is a newly opened trekking route in Nepal. Himalayan Friends takes you through this amazing and untouched Himalayan wilderness deep in to the Nar Phu Valley! This exciting trek in Nepal has its unique features, a mix of raw Himalayan nature and ancient Buddhist cultures. The Nar Phu valley inhabitants are mostly of Tibetan culture and still practice their own form of Buddhism which is spectacular to witness. Nar Phu Valley trek is one of the famous adventurous treks in Nepal which investigate the hidden valley of Nar Phu and provide you an outstanding experience of genuine wilderness. Visiting virtually untouched villages that are surrounded by around 7000m peaks provide your sense of contentment during the trail. Explore around the secret valleys of Nar Phu just north of the Annapurna and reach new heights while trekking through 2 high altitude passes: the Thorang and Kang is another amazing thing that Nar Phu valley offers us. Opened in 2003 these phases never fail to astonish in terms of views and adventure. During the Nar Phu Valley, we can observe their way of life and gain a new respect for these high-altitude residents.

How to get to the Nar Phu Valley?

The Nar Phu Valley trek is considered as the perfect experience for nature lovers who desire to experience something different and new. So how to get to the Nar Phu Valley? This trek starts from Jagat, Chame after a 9 hours scenic drive from Kathmandu and hikes largely on the same trail as Annapurna Circuit Trek. The trail heads more north to Koto and Meta from where we start to enter the Nar Phu Valley upstream. After exploring the Valley we head to Manang and the Thorang La Pass the same way as the Annapurna Circuit goes!

During the Nar Phu Valley trek, you can see over 140 high snow-peaks, high altitude grazing settlements, ancient villages, the secluded Tashi Lhakhang Gompa, high alpine vallies above Phu and many more. Himalayan Friends guides you through this amazing and newly discover region! Many trails and paths are still undiscovered in this trekking region and offer a great opportunity to those who love adventure. A perfect display of amazing mountain and Himalayas such as; Mt. Machhapuchre (Fishtail), Mt. Annapurna massif, Mt. Dhaulagiri range, Mt. Tilicho, Mt. Lamjung all make the Nar Phu Valley trek worth doing!

Amazing upper Mustang

Everything perfectly organised. We went to upper Mustang, which required several flights and jeep rides. Our guide , Dende, made always sure that everything was perfect. The company' s owner , Phuri, regularly contacted Dende to make sure everything was perfect. I asked for 5 star trip, this is what we got! It was amazingly beautiful and confortable ! Strongly recommended, thanks again 😊!!
