Ready to experience Nepal’s legendary Annapurna Circuit in a truly unique way? The "Annapurna Circuit via Kang La and Nar" tour is a 15-day trekking and hiking adventure starting and ending in Kathmandu, designed for those craving both challenge and discovery along one of the Himalaya’s most scenic trails.
This thoughtfully curated trip avoids the busy, road-accessed sections of the classic circuit, instead detouring through the remote Nar and Phu valleys—ancient Tibetan enclaves only recently opened to trekkers. Here, prayer flags, mani walls, and centuries-old villages provide a rare and intimate glimpse into Buddhist culture, far from the crowds.
Trek through dramatic alpine landscapes, ascend the little-known Kang La Pass (5,320m), and rejoin the main circuit to cross the iconic Thorong La Pass (5,416m). The descent leads you into the windswept Mustang region and the awe-inspiring depths of the Kali Gandaki Gorge.
A key USP of this trekking tour is its commitment to low-impact, locally led travel, employing more local people through a fully supported camping experience and spreading the benefits of tourism to remote communities. All meals, high-quality trek gear, and expert guides are included for peace of mind and safety.
For experienced travelers seeking a challenging, culture-rich trek through Nepal’s most spectacular mountain scenery—without the crowds—this tour package is the ultimate Himalayan adventure.
You will be met at Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport arrivals gate by a World Expeditions representative and transferred to the Radisson Hotel in a private vehicle. The remainder of the afternoon is at leisure to relax after your journey or explore the surrounding area at your own pace.
A pre-trek briefing will be held at approximately 4:30–5:00 pm, where your guide will outline the journey ahead and organise the distribution of your trekking kit including your kit bag, sleeping bag and down or fibrefill jacket.
This evening we gather for a welcome group dinner, providing a great opportunity to meet your fellow travellers before the adventure begins.
Accommodation: Radisson Hotel Kathmandu
The trip was excellent, very well planned, well catered and the guides and sherpas were fabulous!
Rishi was the ideal guide: patient, attentive, and always prioritizing our safety. The Sherpa team set a steady, manageable pace and showed remarkable patience throughout. The cook and his team were outstanding, providing plenty of healthy, delicious, and safe meals regardless of the conditions. The porters were exceptional too, handling camp setup and pack-down in challenging weather with professionalism and care. The only downside? The two long travel days to reach the trailhead—but the breathtaking scenery and warm, welcoming people made it absolutely worth it.
the trek was amazing. Our guide Rishi was professional, compassionate and also very funny!! All the Nepalese staff on our trip were humble and always helpful.
An amazing trek, supported by a wonderful crew on what was a challenging yet so rewarding experience.
Another incredible trip in the Himalayas with World Ex. Sanjay and the entire team were extraordinary dealing with extremely fluctuating weather and illnesses in the group. The wilderness camp sites were a highlight being away from other trekkers and in spectacular locations. Absolutely faultless, and I cannot recommend this company any higher to go trekking with!
