Itinerary

Uncover one of Nepal’s most fascinating hidden regions with the "Nar Phu Valley Trek," a journey crafted for senior travelers who appreciate cultural depth and alpine adventure. This trek explores the remote valleys north of Annapurna, combining breathtaking Himalayan views with an authentic immersion into medieval Tibetan culture.

Starting in Jagat along the Annapurna Circuit, the route veers off at Koto, leading trekkers through high-altitude villages and the mystical Tashi Lakhang Monastery. The challenge—and reward—of crossing Kang La Pass (5,315m) is matched only by sweeping vistas of the Annapurna massif. After connecting with the Annapurna Circuit, the adventure continues over Thorong La Pass (5,416m), before descending through the sacred site of Muktinath to Jomsom, where your trek concludes with flights to Pokhara and Kathmandu.

This tour’s unique selling point is its rare access to unspoiled valleys and preserved Tibetan heritage, offering trekkers a profound sense of discovery, serenity, and accomplishment in one of Nepal’s last truly wild frontiers.
