This unique and seldom traveled route offers the adventurous trekker a bit of everything that makes Nepal so special. From Besisahar, we will gradually ascend the Marshyangi River Valley to Koto. Here, we head northwards and enter the recently opened NarPhu Valleys of Upper Manang. Passing through the chorten gate that designates the entrance to NarPhu, it's as if we've been transported into a land where time has stood still. The Himalayan Pine quickly give way to high plateau, remote Tibetan villages built of stone, ancient Buddhist monasteries and grand views of the Annapurna Range.

This magical area is known to have one of the highest concentration of snow leopard per square kilometer of anywhere in the world. After numerous days of exploration, we regrettably exit this valley via the exciting 5,315 meter Kang La pass. Here we pick up the main Annapurna Circuit route at Braga, continue to Manang Village and steadily make our way up and over the Thorong La pass (5416 meters). From the holy village of Muktinath, we trek to Kagbeni (the gateway to Upper Mustang) and on to the airstrip at Jomsom for the flight back to Kathmandu.

  • Reviewer: Dennis Webb located in Silt Mesa, Colorado USA
    "Here's a chance to do both a classic Nepal trek -- the Annapurna Circuit -- and a little-traveled side trip into the Nar Phu region. We began our Annapurna walk in lowland farming country and headed gradually upward, allowing our bodies to acclimate to higher elevations as we enjoyed the scenery and people. We then detoured into a region only recently opened to visitors, and visited villages influenced by the ways of Tibet, whose border was just a few short miles away. Our trek also took us over two mountain passes, in fabled Himalayan high country where wild blue sheep abound. Altogether, it was a wonderful trip, with nourishing food that sustained us on each day's walk, helpful guides and porters, and incredible opportunities for taking photos, visiting Buddhist monasteries, and witnessing the way of life in a remote region that is reachable only by foot or pack train, and where farmers use yaks to plow fields. Truly an adventure to remember!" -Dennis Webb, Colorado (Member of the NarPhu Valleys Trek
