Why Choose the Narphu Valley Trek with classic Annapurna Circuit Trek

The Nar Phu valley trek is a less popular but equally exciting trek in Nepal that takes you through the remote and isolated Nar and Phu valleys. Located in the Annapurna region of Nepal, this trek offers stunning views of the Annapurna mountain range and takes you through traditional villages, ancient monasteries, and high passes.

The trek starts in Jagat and takes about 23 days to complete if you include the classic Annapurna Circuit route also. Along the way, you will have the opportunity to interact with the local Tibetan-influenced communities and learn about their culture and way of life. The Nar Phu valley trek is a challenging trek that requires a good level of physical fitness, but it is a rewarding experience for those who are up for the challenge.

The entire trail is adorned with fragments of Tibetan Buddhist culture including numerous Chortens, Stupas, and monasteries. The trail itself goes through restricted trekking areas and requires special passes. However, the picturesque glacial views, amazing formations of rock, canyons, forests, and wildlife make the trek worth any and every pass.

The main destinations on the trail are the remote and distinct villages of Nar and Phu. Both villages carry amazing natural vistas and unique cultures. Other villages passed include Meta, Koto, and the classic villages in the Annapurna Circuit trail like Manang, Muktinath, and Marpha, and even climb Poon Hill for the last goodbye to the Himalayas.

You will pass through the Kangla pass which lies at an altitude of 5300m and the Thorong La pass at an altitude of 5416m making for an incredible mountain experience. Join us on this incredible adventure in the Himalayas combining the best of three treks; Nar Phu Valley, Annapurna Circuit, and Poonhill trek. This will surely be an experience you will not forget.
