Itinerary

Step off the beaten path with the "Nar Phu Valley Trek," a 10-day adventure into the secluded valleys of the Annapurna region. Starting in Kathmandu, this guided tour leads you through traditional villages where Tibetan Buddhist customs remain unchanged by modernity. Acclimatize in Phu, cross the dramatic Kang La Pass, and descend to Pisang, all while surrounded by soaring peaks and ancient culture. The area’s restricted status and limited tourist numbers make this tour a rare opportunity for genuine cultural immersion and pristine Himalayan exploration. The tour’s USP: access to one of Nepal’s least-visited and most evocative regions, perfect for travelers craving authenticity and adventure.

day 1 - Kathmandu – Dharapani (1920m)

Your day starts early in the morning. Leave Kathmandu at around 7:00 am. You will reach Dharapani via Besishahar after nine to ten hours on the road. Roads are unpaved after Besishahar and the drive can get bumpy. But the scenic views you will see along the way more than compensates for the difficulty.

Accommodation: Guest house

Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

day 2 - Dharapani – Koto (2,600m)

A one-hour hike through pine and fir forests takes you to Bagarchhap. The trail continues through pine forests to reach Latamarang. Call it a day on reaching Koto, a small village mainly inhabited by the Gurungs who follow Tibetan Buddhism.

Accommodation: Guest house

Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

day 3 - Koto – Meta (3,230m)

Leave Koto behind after breakfast and follow the trail along the banks of Soti Khola. The journey takes you through pine forests, streams and bridges to reach Dharmasala. Your day comes to an end on reaching Meta.

Accommodation: Guest house

Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

day 4 - Meta – Phu Gaon (4,050m)

Leave Meta behind after breakfast. Unique and colorful Tibetan Buddhist chortens that Nar and Phu are famous for start appearing as you head up. Get your first peek of highland villages as well as an old dzong (a Tibetan-style fortress).

Accommodation: Guest house

Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

day 5 - Acclimatization day

You have a free day today. Allow your body to acclimatize to the elevation. You can also explore the famous Tashi Lakhang Monastery if you want to. This monastery is supposed to be the last one constructed by Karmapa Rinpoche. Those yearning for more can hike up to the base camp of Himlung Himal. The return trip takes about four to five hours.

Accommodation: Guest house

Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

day 6 - Trek to Nar Phedi (3,550m)

Continue your journey down towards Meta and take a turn to the monastery at Nar Phedi. We will spend the night in the monastery today. In fact, the monastery is all that Nar Phedi consists of. See Kanguru and Pisang mountains along the way.

Accommodation: Guest house

Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

day 7 - Nar Phedi – Nar (4,150m)

Today is a relatively easy day. Climb out of Nar Phedi and follow a winding path up a hill towards Nar. See painted chortens along the way to the ancient village.

Accommodation: Guest house

Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

day 8 - Kang La Pass (5,320m) – Ngawal (3,660m)

Your day starts early. The Kang La is not a difficult pass, but it could end up being a day-long journey up and down the pass if there is snow on the pass or the elevation take its toll.

The Kang La, located 5240 metres above sea level, is an absolutely spectacular pass and a great spot from which to enjoy gorgeous views of Annapurna II, Gangapurna and Tilicho mountains. Once you reach the top, the trail downhill is steep at first and then more gradual as you reach the end.

Accommodation: Guest house

Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

day 9 - Trek to Pisang from Ngawal & drive to Besisahar

The weather gets warmer and the landscape greener as you hike downhill. Set off early to reach Pisang. The trail is wide and pleasing and passes a beautiful lake just outside of Pisang. Have lunch on reaching Pisang and drive to Besisahar. Stay overnight in Besisahar.

Accommodation: Hotel

day 10 - Drive to Kathmandu

The drive back to Kathmandu takes around five hours. You can spend the afternoon shopping for souvenirs in Thamel or just relaxing. Please note that today's accommodation is not included in the tour price.
