Overview

Saribung Pass & Saribung Peak Climbing Trek

The Saribung Pass Trek is an expedition of paramount significance, characterized by its arduous nature and the promise of unparalleled scenic beauty and cultural enrichment. Nestled within the heart of Nepal, this trek is renowned for forging a vital connection between the enigmatic Upper Mustang and the captivating Nar Phu Valley. The piece de resistance of this journey is undoubtedly the frozen Saribung Pass, elevated at a daunting altitude of 6042 meters above sea level. Throughout this challenging odyssey, adventurers are treated to panoramic vistas that evoke awe, proximity to the formidable Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs, and the rich tapestry of ancient Tibetan culture woven into the fabric of the Mustang region.

Unearthed in 2006, the Saribung Pass Trek has swiftly carved out a niche for itself among thrill-seekers and explorers yearning for an experience that transcends the ordinary. Remarkably, this trail can be conquered in two distinct ways: one can embark on an anti-clockwise journey that commences at Nar-Phu and culminates in Jomsom, or opt for a clockwise route that starts from Jomsom, traverses the Upper Mustang trail, meanders through the Nar-Phu valley, and ultimately winds up in Besisahar.

Typically, the Saribung Pass Trek kicks off with a captivating flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara, followed by another mesmerizing aerial sojourn through the awe-inspiring Kali Gandaki Gorge, ultimately touching down in Jomsom. From this juncture, the trek unfurls along the picturesque Kali Gandaki Valley, unfurling a beguiling tableau of villages such as Kagbeni, Chele, and Geling before arriving at Lo-Manthang, the former kingdom of Mustang, which now serves as its capital.

Lo-Manthang, perched amidst the rugged terrain, is a veritable treasure trove of ancient Tibetan culture juxtaposed against a backdrop of unrivaled natural splendor. Post exploration of the upper echelons of Mustang, the intrepid trekker sets forth on the path leading to the Nar Phu Valley, facing the daunting Saribung Pass, which retains its icy visage for most of the year, thanks to its proximity to the towering Saribung Peak, which stands sentinel at an imposing 6328 meters.

The Saribung Pass Trek is not for the faint of heart. It entails navigating through extraordinary passes and negotiating icy terrain and treacherous crevices, all while striving to conquer the indomitable Saribung Peak. Once this formidable hurdle is surmounted, the trail spirals down into the welcoming embrace of the Nar Phu Valley. Here, you have the unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the traditions of the Phu village, an enclave of culture and tranquility, and to marvel at the grandeur of the surrounding peaks that punctuate the skyline.

As the expedition reaches its culmination, the return journey commences, retracing its path from Nar Phu to Jagat, and finally bringing you back to the bustling heart of Kathmandu. To ensure that the Saribung Pass Trek is not just an adventure, but an enjoyable and manageable one, it is advisable to avail the services of seasoned trekking agencies such as Nepal Wilderness Trekking. Their team of qualified and affable guides is dedicated to ensuring your safety and comfort throughout this exhilarating voyage.

In summation, the Saribung Pass Trek is an expedition that promises an adrenaline-pumping, soul-stirring adventure in the remote recesses of western Nepal. With its daunting passes, breathtaking landscapes, and an immersion in the vibrant cultural tapestry of the Mustang region, this trek offers an indelible and unforgettable experience for adventurers seeking to explore the pristine grandeur of the Himalayas. It beckons those with a yearning for the extraordinary, a thirst for adventure, and a desire to witness firsthand the unparalleled beauty of the Mustang region. Embark on this odyssey, and you will undoubtedly return with memories that will last a lifetime.
