Since the terrain can be hard and the days long, hikers on these treks should be in good physical condition and have some previous mountain walking experience. Steep climbing may be involved, although it is never necessary to use ropes. Treks at this level can he arranged for periods of 16 to 21 days. Typically, a gradual ascent through a green river valley will lead you up to a number of high passes, where you will reach the altitude of 5416m. Often times, you will get a close insight into the Tibetan culture. Participants should expect to trek above 5416m/17872ft.
Hold Your Guide : Suk Bahadur GhaleThe Nar Phu trek Nepal is a route through the ancient Forbidden Kingdom valley, which was only opened for tourism in 2002. The Nar Phu valley trek is located between the Annapurna Circuit and the Manaslu circuit regions. The high-altitude settlements of Nar and Phu are located in the valley of Nar Khola Nepal, and beyond the Marsyangdi River, connected with the Saribung peak of Upper Mustang. In order to take part in Nar Phu Trek Nepal, the trekkers need to have a License Holder Guide and a Special Permit to enter Nar and Phu Valleys. It is still restricted to a limited number of tourists per year, controlled by the Nepalese Government Department.
The Nar Phu Valley Trekking offers Tibetan culture, amazing gorges, medieval villages, and 7000-meter peaks in a Tibetan enclave, and it will take you through the most incredible wilderness in the world, passing ancient Chortens and flocks of blue sheep as well as crossing one of the highest passes in the region, 5300m Kang La and 5200m Mesokanto-La.
Permits are not allowed to be applied for by single trekkers. In order to obtain entry permits into Nar Phu Valleys, trekkers are required to take at least two people with them. In addition, the government-registered local trekking agency must submit all official legal documents that include tax-clear certificates, the Government Training License Holder’s Guide, license certificates, and proof of insurance coverage.
Phu valley is situated at 4050 meters above sea level, and Nar village is located at 4120 meters above sea level. While traveling along the Nar Phu trek Nepal trail one is able to observe beautiful scenery mountains great views of Annapurna ranges, Annapurna II, Himlung Himal, Saribung peak, Gangapurna, and Tilicho Peak, as well as journey via waterfall, Nar Khola, Marsyngdi river, beautiful river junction.
The people from Nar Phu villages speak Tibetan and some Nepali, they are Buddhists, and a member of the Nar Phu village community was counted by the Nepal government in 2011 as 362 residents. Although in villages Nar and Phu there are only 86 households, most of the residents are Indian and have come to the country for business and trade. As well as yak herding being the main occupation here, there are also those who grow barley, wheat, and buckwheat on a small scale. Despite being heavily influenced by Tibetan, the language spoken by the people of Nar and Phu is different from its Tibetan counterparts both phonologically and lexically.
In addition, there is also the historical Tibetan culture, a sacred sanctuary of Buddhist monasteries, spinning prayer wheels, unique and colorful prayer stones, and traditional people’s lifestyles, all of which have been classified as part of the Annapurna Conservation Area.
The Annapurna Circuit main trekking trail continues after Nar Phu valley to Kang La pass if you have more time. but our trek itinerary is the same way back from here, the trail descends to Chame and the drive back to Besisahar-Kathmandu if you take a short time frame.
The Nepal Wilderness Trekking Sherpa guide team and porters are promoting a 13 day Nar Phu trek itinerary and supporting the local people of Nar, and Phu by instilling rural harmony in the remote villages located on the northern shore of the Annapurna region with local guides and porters who speak fluent English as well as the local language.
There are different rates charged by different travel agencies for the same trek. We are a local company, so our customized price is U$D 1030 per person for a 13-day itinerary, while an international agency may charge you between USD 1500 – 2500 per person. In spite of the fact that some agencies charge for their brands and convenience, there are also local companies that provide the same level of satisfaction. In spite of the fact that you will be supporting locals by booking through a country-specific agency, you can choose the agency based on your budget and travel plans.
It is possible to do this trek during the monsoon season June to August as well as the two peak tourist seasons March-May and September-November. Although the Nar Phu trek is still enjoyable in the monsoon because of less rain, the road access to and from Besisahar in the mountains may be impaired by mud and landslides during the monsoon.
Due to the long days and steep altitude ascents, this trek is thought to be a challenging one. Because there is a limited number of options for accommodation along the way, the distances that must be covered each day are limited, making for long days of walking. Each day we gain quite a bit of altitude, and it’s always unpredictable how our bodies will react to climbing altitude each day. It is recommended that those who are fit and healthy, who have a lot of experience trekking in the mountains, take part in this trek.
