Nar Phu Valley trekking has been open to visitors only since 2003 and is known as
the best trekking route in the Annapurna region. This trek is perfect for those
trekkers who want to explore the hidden valley and trek off the beaten crossing
through Challenging high passes like Masokanto La (5099m), and Kangla Pass (5200m).
This is one of the best regions for viewing majestic mountains in the highlands. The Phu is the most beautiful medieval village where you can learn the
real lifestyles of Bhote communities and enjoy and have the pleasure of the fabulous
and typical landscape of the valley.
This
trek starts right from Besishahar which is 7 hour drive from Kathmandu city
and goes along the Marshyangdi River following the world-popular trekking
route Annapurna Circuits trail. On other days we trek to reach Koto to follow the beaten track to Nar Phu valley in the north of Manang and pass the Kang
La pass with a magnificent panorama of Annapurna massifs. The Kang La pass links
Nar with Manang and 3 other Bhotia villages in the Neyshang valley. On other days
we trek down further to reach the headquarters of the entire Mustang region, Jomsom from
where we take a short super scenic flight to reach the natural charming city of
Pokhara where we end our trek. We then continue on to Kathmandu, truly an
unforgettable journey through Nepal.

Autumn (Sept. to Nov.) and Spring (March to May) are the best
seasons for the Nar Phu Valley Trek. The weather is sunny and warm with
outstanding views. If you wish to avoid crowds and enjoy some alone time with
nature then taking this trip during winter (Dec., Jan., and Feb.) could also be
an option. However, the temperature during winter could be harsh for most
guests. Trekking in the Summer or Monsoon seasons (June to Aug.) will be
affected by rain but the Summer trek could be a boon for a keen botanist.
