Nar Phu Valley Trek With Thorong La

On the one hand, there's the most popular trek in the Himalayas, the Annapurna Circuit, long considered the most scenically diverse and beautiful hike in all of Nepal. On the other hand, there's the trek to Nar Phu, a hidden valley hidden from public view for centuries and home to a rugged landscape and secluded culture that dates back to distant centuries in neighboring Tibet. Which should I choose? Well, now you don’t have to, because, with this latest offering from Nepal Trekking Experts, we combine the two areas into one glorious journey that stands as arguably the most rewarding trekking experience currently available.

Other than the initial leg, which shares the same beginnings as the Annapurna Circuit, the first half of the trek comprises a visit to Nar Phu, a mystical valley breaking through the mists of time like some latter-day Brigadoon ready to entrance modern visitors with its impressive mix of scenic splendor, cultural integrity, inspiring monasteries, and visually stunning medieval villages. Unlike many other regions of Nepal that have geared up economically to cater to the trekking industry, the people of Nar Phu steadfastly maintain a traditional Tibetan way of life that has stood them in good stead for centuries, from basic subsistence agriculture to the all-important herding of sheep and yak.

The second half of the trek picks up the Annapurna Circuit again where the Nar Phu leg merges with the trail at the village of Ngawal, leading northward past the classic vistas of the Annapurna range so beloved by countless visitors to the area through the years. At Khangsar, the opportunity exists to branch away for a few days to visit Tilicho Lake, the world’s highest body of water, before returning to the trail and pushing on for the final hike over Thorong La (5,416 meters) and the last stretch to Jomsom for the return drive to Pokhara and Kathmandu.

If you’re looking for an epic and rewarding adventure through the Himalayas that provides arguably the most diverse and intoxicating mixture of landscapes and culture - all wrapped up in a two-for-one package that represents enormous value—get in touch with us to discuss the wonderful possibilities of this trek. Now is the time to experience the distant past that Nar Phu represents because the modern world will eventually seep in and change the valley, much as we might wish to stay at its side. Although the Nar Phu Valley Trek is renowned for being in a "rain shadow," you can trek there in the summer as well. We think you’ll find it as amazing a journey as we do.

Are you still unsatisfied with the Annapurna Circuit via Nar Phu Valley Trek? Don't worry! You may go through similar packages such as the Manaslu Circuit Trek, Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek, Makalu Base Camp Trek, and more.

Nar Phu With Thorong La Crossing Difficulty

The Nar Phu Valley and Thorong La Pass trek is considered moderately to highly challenging, requiring trekkers to be well-prepared physically and mentally. This trek combines the rugged beauty of Nar Phu Valley with the high-altitude adventure of crossing the Thorong La Pass (5,416 meters / 17,769 feet), one of the highest trekking passes in Nepal. During this trek, you will pass through steep ascents, descents, and narrow paths, particularly in the remote Nar and Phu villages.

Since this trek takes you to a high altitude above 5,000 meters, you must be prepared for the thin air and the potential risk of altitude sickness. Additionally, the unpredictable weather at higher altitudes, with the possibility of snow or strong winds, adds another layer of difficulty.

Best Time To Trek To Nar Phu And Thorong Pass

The best time to embark on the Nar Phu Valley and Thorong La Pass trek is during the Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) seasons. During these seasons, the weather remains relatively stable, reducing the risks associated with sudden snowstorms or heavy rainfall, which are common in Winter and Monsoon seasons. The Thorong La Pass, located at 5,416 meters, is significantly safer to cross during these periods due to less snow accumulation and better trail conditions. Additionally, the cultural activities are also quite active during these months. 

Spring showcases vibrant rhododendron blooms and lush greenery, while Autumn provides a crisp, golden landscape with pristine visibility. These seasons also offer pleasant daytime temperatures, making it easier to tackle the rugged trails and high-altitude passes.

Thorong Pass And Nar Phu Expedition Permits

Trekking the Nar Phu Valley and Thorong La Pass requires three permits to ensure access and compliance with local regulations. You can obtain these permits from the Nepal Tourism Board office in Kathmandu or Pokhara. It is advisable to carry passport-sized photos and a copy of your passport for the application process. Additionally, you can also get help from a registered local trekking agency and they will handle the permits on your behalf. 

  • Nar Phu Valley Restricted Area (NRA) Permit: USD 100 per week per person with an additional USD 15 per day.
  • Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) Permit: USD 30 per person
  • Trekking Information Management System (TIMS) Permit: USD 20 per person

To confirm your trek with us, please send us an email with a copy of your passport, a passport-size photo, and flight details (if available), as well as a 10% deposit of the total amount, using our online payment gateway.

Useful Information

Tips For A Successful Thorong La Trek via Nar Phu

  • Build your stamina with cardio and strength training to prepare for steep ascents, rugged trails, and high-altitude conditions. 
  • Add acclimatization days to your itinerary to reduce the risk of altitude sickness.
  • Hire a guide and porter for a smooth experience. 
  • Nights can be extremely cold, especially in high-altitude villages and Thorong La Pass. Ensure your gear is suitable for freezing temperatures.
  • Follow Leave No Trace principles, respect local customs, and seek permission before photographing people or monasteries. 
  • Secure comprehensive travel insurance that covers high-altitude trekking and emergency evacuation. 

Transportation To The Nar Phu and Thorong La Circuit

Transportation during the Nar Phu Valley and Thorong La Pass Trek begins with a bus ride from Gongabu Bus Park in Kathmandu to Jagat. This journey takes about 8-9 hours and provides stunning views of terraced fields, rivers, and hills along the Prithvi Highway. Similarly, after completing the trek in Jomsom, you can take a bus to Pokhara, a 6-7 hour ride through the scenic Kali Gandaki Valley, and then connect to Kathmandu on a longer 6-8 hour bus ride. While this option is budget-friendly, the roads from Jomsom to Pokhara can be quite rugged and bumpy. For a more comfortable but pricier option, private jeeps are available for both segments of the return journey. Likewise, you can also take a flight from Pokhara to Kathmandu. Whether you opt for buses or private jeeps, the choice often depends on your budget and preference for comfort versus adventure.

Meals During The Thorong Pass and Nar Phu Expedition

During this journey, you will get to experience a blend of local flavors and standard trekking fare as a part of your trekking meals. For trekkers, Dal Bhat (a meal of lentil soup, rice, and vegetables) is a staple dish, known for its high energy content and unlimited servings. You can also enjoy local specialties such as buckwheat pancakes, Tibetan bread, and simple noodle or potato-based dishes. As you progress toward Thorong La Pass and areas like Manang, Yak Kharka, and Thorong Phedi, the food options become slightly more varied. Here, you may find items like pasta, momos (dumplings), fried rice, soups, and omelets alongside traditional Nepali dishes. Once you descend to Jomsom, the meal options expand further, with access to bakeries offering multiple Western-style dishes. Lastly, you should also note that meal prices rise with altitude due to the difficulty of transporting supplies.

Accommodation During The Thorong Pass and Nar Phu Expedition

Accommodation during this journey primarily consists of basic teahouses run by local families, offering basic rooms with simple wooden or stone beds, often with shared facilities like toilets and showers. The amenities are minimal but the rooms may be more spacious with better facilities in the more frequented regions like Manang, Yak Kharka, and Thorong Phedi. In the rooms you get, you will have no heating facilities but you will find a fireplace or a shared heater in the communal dining hall. Additionally, the hot showers will also cost you extra. 

Telephone Service, Battery Charging, And Internet During The Trek to Nar Phu and Thorong Pass

Telephone Service

While telephone service is available at various points of the trek, the reception might be spotty. In the lower parts of the trek, such as Jagat and Chamche, you can expect to have some mobile network coverage, typically from Nepal's major telecom providers like Ncell and Nepal Telecom. However, for better coverage, NTE recommends you to carry Nepal Telecom. As you ascend higher, the reception gets more inconsistent. If you need to make urgent calls, you may have to rely on satellite phones, which are sometimes available for rent in larger towns like Manang or Jomsom.

Battery Charging

In the lower regions of the trek, such as Jagat and Manang, teahouses usually have electricity and charging facilities. However, as you ascend higher altitudes, such as towards Nar Phu Valley or Thorong La Pass, charging options become scarcer. While you will get opportunities to charge your devices, such as phones, cameras, and headlamps, but it's always a good idea to carry a backup power bank in case charging points are unavailable or if you find yourself in a remote area. Also, charging may take longer in tea houses due to wait line and it will also cost you an extra charge. 

Internet

Internet facilities are available in most of the larger teahouses, but the quality and reliability of the service can vary greatly depending on the location and the time of year. In the lower regions, you will find relatively stable internet connections, often provided via local Wi-Fi networks. However, the connection speed might be slow, especially during peak trekking seasons when many trekkers are trying to access the network. Moving on to higher altitudes, the internet access becomes limited and less reliable.

Porter

For the Thorong La Trek via Nar Phu, NTE highly recommends you hire a porter who is well-versed in the trail conditions and can help with carrying your gear. Porters typically carry around 15 kg (33 lbs) which makes your trek more comfortable and less physically demanding. The cost of hiring a porter depends on the duration of the trek, but it's typically around $20-25 per day. It’s important to note that porters are not guides, so if you require assistance with navigation or other trekking-related concerns, you might need to hire a separate guide.

Travel Insurance

During this trek, you will trek past challenging terrain, high altitudes, and remote locations where access to medical help can be limited. Therefore, you will need to buy a comprehensive travel insurance plan that covers emergency medical treatment, evacuation, trip cancellations, and loss or theft of personal belongings. Additionally, you must also ensure that your plan covers high-altitude trekking, particularly up to the Thorong La Pass at 5,416 meters (17,769 feet), as some standard policies may not include this.

Remember that, the cost of emergency medicine and evacuation can be costly, hence, you must have a policy that will help cover your expenses. It's also worth checking that the insurance policy covers trip delays and cancellations, which can sometimes happen due to weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances.

Nepalese Currency And Payment

The currency of Nepal is the rupee. The ideal currencies for exchange are those of the USA, Australia, Great Britain, Canada, and Singapore, as well as the Euro, any of which can be readily exchanged in either Kathmandu or Pokhara.

Credit and debit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are accepted in major tourist-class hotels, restaurants, airlines, and larger stores in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Patan, Pokhara, etc. A surcharge of 3.5% is typically levied on all purchases or payments.

ATMs are also very common in Kathmandu and Pokhara, with Thamel being a particular area of focus for their use. Some ATMs only allow a daily maximum of Rs 20, 000 to be withdrawn, while others allow for as much as Rs 35, 000. A charge of USD 4 is usually applied per transaction, on top of which your bank may also apply a fee of its own.

Can I get an on-arrival visa in Nepal?

On arrival in Nepal, you can obtain the requisite visa at Tribhuwan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu, or you can choose the alternative of applying for it at the Nepalese Embassy or Consulate in your home country before departure. The visa is also available at land-based points of entry such as Birgunj, Kakarbhitta, Bhairawa, Belhiya, Nepalgunj, Dhangadi, and Mahendranagar. The Kodari Pass is the access point from Tibet where the visa can be obtained.

While you can use different modes of payment at the visa fee counter, we advise you to bring cash in the following currencies: US dollars, euros, Swiss francs, pound sterling, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Singapore dollars, and Japanese yen. Credit card payments are also available nowadays.

As per a recent update, the visa fee costs you the following amounts:

  • Multiple entries for 15 days—USD 30 or equivalent
  • Multiple entries for 30 days—USD 50 or equivalent
  • Multiple entries for 90 days—USD 125 or equivalent
  • You should also have a minimum of six months of validity remaining on your passport.
  • Visa extensions are available from the offices of Nepal Immigration in Kathmandu and Pokhara.
  • For more details, please go through the Nepal Immigration website or contact us.

      Nar Phu Kang La and Thorong La Trek - Nepal's Best Kept Secret!

      Our trek with Nepal Trekking Experts was the best experience, from our first contact with Rajesh to finalize our customized package, throughout our time trekking the remote landscape to learn about the culture and history, during a Safari to finish up our amazing time in Nepal, including right up to our departure. Great communication with Rajesh and Ganesh ensured every detail was covered.
      Our outstanding guide, Ganesh, was professional, knowledgeable, safe and well informed. His many years of experience guiding proved invaluable when we were faced with difficult decisions due to unexpected weather. Safety was always the priority. Our porter, Gakul, was an integral part of our team, so strong, fun and a pleasure to share time with.
      The teahouses and meals during the trek as well as the hotels in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan were all of the highest quality. We simply could not have been taken care of any better.
      You will not regret trekking with Ganesh, as he is the BEST!!

      Nar-Phu Trek - Unforgettable!

      I got back to the UK 2 weeks ago from Nepal after an 18 day trek and a week in Pokhara afterwards. The trek was one of the best that I have been on so far (it was my 4th in Nepal and my second with Nepal Trekking Experts) with incredible and varied scenery, particularly in the restricted Nar Phu region. It was occasionally pretty hard going especially over the Kang La pass but definitely worth it for the experience and the fantastic views - you will not regret doing this trek. Highlights of the trip include the ancient villages of Nat and Phu, the 800 year old monastery at Braga near Manang, the side trips to the Ice Lake from Braga, to Himlung Base Camp and to Tilicho lake, Kagbeni and Marpha.
      I must also mention our excellent guide Resham Neupane who is knowledgeable, attentive and ensured that everything ran smoothly. Our magnificent porters, Dilli and Shiva were totally part of the team and it was quite hard to say our goodbyes at the end of the trip.
      So that's it really, I wholeheartedly recommend Nepal Trekking Experts and I hope to do Kanchenjunga with them in future.
