Nar And Phu Valley Trek

Trip Map
Quick Inquiry
A trek to the valleys of Nar and Phu is an exceptional experience. It is the ultimate destination for those looking for authenticity.
You explore the remote, rough valleys of Nar and Phu. This region has only been open to tourists since 2003.
The first 4 days are gradually climbing via the Annapurna Circuit route to Koto. There you leave the route and through forests, rocky paths, cliffs, villages and passing countless Buddhist chortens all the way to the valleys of Nar and Phu, both villages situated at an altitude of 4000m. It is an adventurous trek where an acquaintance with “the real Nepal” is assured. Crossing the Kangla pass (5320m) makes it really worth it.
There will be lodges in trekkers with minimum comfort and 1 night in a Buddhist monastery. Experience in mountain hiking is not required, but good health and fitness is necessary. The trek can be shortened by 3 to 5 days. This trek can be done from mid-March and until the end of October. From November some lodges are closed for winter. Because this trek is partly located in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, it is a good choice during summer (monsoon) months.

Nar And Phu Valley Trek
NarPhu trekking
While visiting Nepal last September I stayed a few days at Atithi House. What I liked the most was on one hand the location. It is located between the rice fields and let you explore an authentic part of Nepals countryside not far from Kathmandu. It also gave me the opportunity to visit the village, Thimi and the Hindoe Temple of Aashapuri.
On the other hand there was the very warm and familiar welcome of Annemie, Dinesh and their children, which made me feel at home immediately. During my stay they did just about everything that was possible to make me feel at ease.
Also the trekking to the Nar and Phu valleys, organized by Ganesh Trekking, was one of the highlights. They managed to link me to a very nice and good trekking/city guide and also everything else was really good arranged.
Without doubt I would stay at Atithi House and work with Ganesh Trekking again on my next visit to Nepal.
