Nar Phu Valley Trek

Our team representative will meet you at the airport. After that, they will drop you off at your hotel, giving you a few hours to get settled. After you relax and refresh for a bit in your hotel, we will have a pre briefing session regarding the trek. In this session, we will give you an overview of the upcoming days. In this session, you can also ask if you have any questions regarding the trek.

Today, we will officially start our journey by driving to Besisahar from Kathmandu. Early in the morning, our team will be there at your hotel for the drive. The drive starts with a beautiful departure from the busy Kathmandu Valley, complete with views of hills, terraced fields, and traditional villages. The scenery progressively changes to more natural areas and we will frequently get to see the Marsyangdi River. Even though there are some bumpy parts of the route, the constantly shifting landscape and far views of the Himalayas will give you an exciting experience.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, we will leave for Koto from Besisahar. This road presents a striking change from the subtropical scenery of Besisahar to the alpine highlands of Koto. As we move forward, we will get to see Himalayan peaks that provide a stunning backdrop for terraced farms, waterfalls, and deep forests. Additionally, the route travels through quaint towns that provide insight into the customs of the surrounding settlements.

Today, we will start trekking towards Meta from Koto after an early morning breakfast. Trekkers will experience a combination of scenic beauty and cultural fascination as they make their way through dense pine woods, over suspension bridges, and into tiny valleys. Beautiful waterfalls and occasional views of snow-capped peaks can be seen along the route, which leads to the charming town of Meta, which is renowned for its traditional Tibetan architecture and peaceful mountain views.

Today we will move towards Phu from Meta after having a fulfilling breakfast in our teahouse. The trek goes through untamed landscapes with breathtaking vistas of Pisang Peak and Kang Guru, two snow-capped summits. The scenery changes as we get closer to Phu, opening up into a wide valley surrounded by sheer rocks. This part of the hike provides a rare opportunity to see the traditional Tibetan-influenced culture, including visits to old monasteries and friendly interactions with the locals.

After breakfast, we will explore Phu Valley for a while. After that, we will start our hike towards Himlung Base Camp. The path progressively climbs through high-altitude terrain, providing breathtaking vistas of glaciers, snow-capped peaks, and striking rock formations. We will enjoy the peaceful beauty of the alpine setting while traveling, and we can come across blue sheep and other animals.

Today, we will trek from Himlung Himal Base Camp to Nar after breakfast. As we leave the base camp, the road travels across difficult mountain pathways, providing expansive vistas of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. There are difficult parts of the route that will test your stamina and hiking skills, such as crossing high mountains and glaciers. Along the way, we will see peaceful alpine meadows, waterfalls, and secluded Tibetan-style communities that will give us a taste of the locals’ way of life.

We are going to have a well-earned day of acclimatization at Nar today. Nar in the stunning Annapurna region allows for experiencing the indigenous way of life and culture while acclimating to the high elevations. You will get to see the village, talk to the friendly residents, and learn about their way of life as it is customary. We might explore the neighboring sites with expansive views of the high peaks and lush valleys.

Today, after breakfast, we will start heading toward Nagwal. The ascent provides amazing views of the nearby Himalayan peaks, which include Gangapurna and Annapurna II. After a few hours of hiking, we will finally arrive at Nagwal for our overnight stay.

We will begin our ascent from Nagwal and travel through picturesque scenery that includes terraced farms, juniper and pine forests, and rare glimpses of snow-capped summits. When we arrive at Pisang, we will be rewarded with expansive views of Annapurna II and the neighboring mountains. After hiking through a variety of scenery and local communities, we will drive from Pisang to Besisahar, which offers a seamless transition from trekking back to society. This allows one to wrap up the journey with a sense of success.

We will travel back to Kathmandu today, bringing our incredible journey to a conclusion. We will have time to reflect on the amazing memories you have made during our stay in the Nar Phu Valley on the way back to Kathmandu.
