Nar Phu Valley Trek

The Nar Phu Valley Trek has only been open for exploration since 2002 and offers an extraordinarily pristine cultural and scenic experience that is all the more remarkable given its proximity to the famous and well-traveled Annapurna Circuit. One of Nepal’s true hidden valleys, its rugged landscapes and ancient villages bordering on Tibet have lain in peaceful solitude for years from the outside world, with relatively few trekkers making the journey to one of the last truly untouched regions in the Himalayas.

The trek begins properly at Besisahar and follows the stock route for the Annapurna Circuit through to Koto before branching away eastward towards Nar Phu Valley. The trail leads along the Nar Khola River and through a narrow gorge before arriving at the small settlement of Odar (which translates to ‘Cave’), a convenient point for a lunch stop at one of the newly constructed tea houses. From Odar the path heads out through thickets of pine, rhododendrons, and bamboo, with the soothing delights of a hot spring en route to bath in for a refreshing break. From there we head to the picturesque village of Meta and its impressive landscapes and view of the monastery at Nar Phedi in the distance.

The following day’s journey to Phu village offers some of the most memorable and unspoiled views on the trek. The trail passes below the daunting slopes of Kangaroo Himal and Chyakhu before winding on through the village of Kyang. Phu itself is a remarkable and impressive village that seems as much a bastion against the forces of time as the harsh Himalayan elements, with a known history that dates back to at least the 5th century. The structures are like building blocks set side by side and seemingly one on top of the other along the sloping hill at the heart of the village, creating the semblance of terraced fields of stone. Replete with the obligatory Mani walls, prayer wheels, and its fascinating monastery, the village is a treasure house of Tibetan culture frozen in time that intrigues and beguiles at every turn and stairway, particularly for photographers.

Phu also serves as a gateway to the mountain of Himlung (7,126 meters) and its base camp at an altitude of 4,920 meters. With a rest day set aside for Phu, the opportunity exists to either hike to the base camp and its impressive views and glacial surroundings or simply relax in Phu for the day and use the time to further explore the labyrinthine village and its many charms.

From Phu, the trail heads westward to Nar Phedi and its monastery for a fascinating overnight stay, and on the following day climbs steeply to the impressively sited village of Nar–yes, it’s confusing! The village offers more stunning views of the Himalayas, as well as the culturally rewarding experience of observing the local people engaged in a variety of activities unique to the area. The trek through the valley culminates with the climb up to Kang La Pass (5320 meters) and the steep and rocky descent to Ngawal on the Annapurna Circuit Trail. The option exists to continue on the circuit up to and over Thorong La pass or head towards Mesokanto La as an alternative. Otherwise, the trek concludes by hiking back down the trail to Chame and the return drive to Pokhara or Kathmandu.

Nar Phu Trek is undoubtedly one of the premier destinations in the Himalayas for those seeking a glimpse into a region of raw beauty and Tibetan culture that's a throwback to a distant past, one that even Tibet itself has long since forgotten about. Nepal Trekking Experts has the experience and the personnel to make it happen just drop us a line and discuss the various options with our staff to explore this fascinating valley.

There are many more trekking routes in Nepal which are still very less people know about them, such as Manaslu Circuit Trek, Upper Mustang TrekKanchenjunga Trek, Lower Dolpo Trek, Upper Dolpo Trek, and so on.

Nar Phu Cultural Trek Difficulty

The Nar Phu Cultural Trek is a challenging journey that combines rugged terrain, high altitudes, and remote landscapes. This trek takes you to altitudes exceeding 5,000 meters, with the highest point being Kang La Pass (5,315 meters). These steep ascents and descents, coupled with narrow and rocky trails, demand a good level of fitness and mental resilience. Certain sections of the trail, especially around Kang La Pass, can be physically demanding due to snow and icy conditions, making it essential to tread carefully. Moving on, the basic teahouse accommodations and simple meals add to the ruggedness of the experience.

Best Time To Trek In Nar And Phu Area

The Nar Phu Valley Adventure takes you to a maximum altitude of 5,320 meters / 17,454 feet at the Kang La Pass. Often the weather starts to get unpredictable above 2000 meters varying as per the seasons. One of the ideal seasons for this journey is Spring, as it is the season of rebirth that paints the whole Nar Phu Valley in vibrant colors. After February, as the winter chill starts to fade, Spring starts from March. During these months, you will experience pleasant surrounding with cool temperatures, beautiful scents in the air, lush greenery, and fully bloomed seasonal flowers.

Likewise, Autumn is yet another peak season with pinnacle beauty. As it is a post-monsoon season, it boasts clarity in the surroundings offering stable weather conditions. During this season, the valley has a picturesque landscape with clear blue skies and a crisp atmosphere. Additionally, since the monsoon clouds are cleared, it presents a cool and dry route eliminating any natural incidents.

While the Nar Phu Valley Adventure has its own favorable trekking season, different trekkers look for different experiences while on this journey. Your level of comfort and enjoyment is heavily determined by the season of the year and each season affects your experience on the trail.

When trekking with Nepal Trekking Experts, the permit fees are included in your package. NTE manages all required permits on your behalf with your passport and visa copy.

Useful Information

Tips For A Successful Nar Phu Circuit Adventure:

  • Train regularly, such as in cardio, gym, trail run, trekking, or hiking with a backpack, before visiting the Nar Phu Valley Trek.
  • Choose a professional organizer along with a local guide who has deep knowledge, good English-speaking, experience, good decision-maker, and has a positive attitude.
  • Trek slowly and steadily.
  • Be hydrated all the time (drink 3-4 liters of water every day).
  • Hike higher, sleep lower.
  • Well-acclimatize (do not rush your itinerary).
  • Eat Balanced meals.
  • Pack high-quality gear (use them beforehand).
  • Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol during ascent.
  • Hire a porter to carry your backpacks.
  • Trek during the best seasons, such as March to May and September to November.
  • Carry a medical Kit.

Accommodation During The Nar And Phu Area:

There are very limited homestays/tea houses to choose from in the less-explored Nar Phu region of Nepal. However, you can still trek to tea houses instead of carrying camping and cooking supplies. The beginning and ending part of the trek lies on a famous Annapurna route which is well-loved and well-traveled meaning that tea houses ranging in quality have been established to meet the range of needs of travelers. At lower elevations and busier areas, you can choose more fully equipped tea houses with electricity, Wi-Fi, and suite bathrooms with hot showers and western toilets. There are also more rustic, basic tea houses available, especially at higher elevations, that have simple rooms and basic services. Bathrooms are shared and have a squat-style toilet. You can pay a small fee at these tea houses for services such as Wi-Fi and hot showers. We provide you with a clean, -20°C sleeping bag to keep you cozy and warm.

Meals During The Nar And Phu Area:

Despite the Annapurna Region of Nepal offering a variety of meal options to suit your preferences, the Nar Phu Adventure Trek offers limited. The menus at tea houses are usually quite large, especially considering you are trekking into the Himalayas, but it's important to note that most tea houses offer similar food options. You can choose from a variety of local dishes including Dal Bhat (rice, vegetable curry, and lentil soup with unlimited refills!), fried rice or noodles, Mo-Mo (local dumplings), Thukpa (Tibetan noodle soup), spring rolls, and potatoes. For breakfast, you can enjoy local chapati bread or Tibetan bread with curry or go for more familiar eggs, porridge, muesli, or pancakes. This trek is vegetarian and vegan friendly, but if you have any other dietary restrictions, you can let us know, and your guide will communicate with the kitchen staff.

Your package with Nepal Trekking Experts includes a dinner in Kathmandu before you leave for your trek and three meals a day (with a cup of tea or coffee) every day of the trek, including travel days. If you'd like, you can purchase extra snacks, desserts, or fancy coffees when they are available.

Transportation To Trek To Nar Phu Valley:

All transportation fees and arrangements are included in your trekking package when you book with Nepal Trekking Experts. To start your adventure in the Nar Phu Valley, there are many transport options depending on your interest, time frame, and budget. A common route is to travel via bus or microvan from Kathmandu (Gongabu Bus Park) to Besisahar (6/7 hrs.) and then continue to your starting point via a local Jeep. The common starting points can be Bhulbhule, Jagat, Dharapani, and Koto. The further you travel via jeep, the less trekking you'll do by foot. This shortens the length of your trek which can be a great option if you have less time or you're including other regions in your trek such as Tilicho Lake, Thorong La Pass, Upper Mustang, etc.

Please be aware that the buses in Nepal can be overcrowded (especially if you are traveling during festival time), not particularly tidy, and will stop in villages along the route to pick up and drop off more people. Bus rides can be part of the exciting immersive experience of being in a foreign country but they are not for everyone. If you would like a more comfortable alternative, we can arrange a private jeep from Kathmandu to your starting point. Jeeps shorten your travel time considerably and you can stop for breaks at your leisure. With so many travel options, we'd be happy to talk things through with you to find what suits you best.

Telephone, Internet, And Battery Charging In Nar Phu Region:

Telephone Service:

Nowadays, most villages have phone service and mobile reception although it can be quite unpredictable. NCELL and Nepal Telecom are the two major SIM card providers. Nepal Telecom is recommended by NTE for better reception in the Nar Phu Valley. You can purchase a SIM card in Kathmandu when you arrive. You need a photograph and visa copy to obtain it.

Internet Service:

Many tea houses have Wi-Fi to purchase for around 2 to 3 dollars for each device charging which is paid in local Nepali Rupees. Please be aware that internet services may not be completely reliable due to weather and other issues.

Battery Charging:

Despite trekking deep into the Himalayas, most of the tea houses have either electricity or solar power. Depending on the tea house, you might be able to charge your devices in your rooms. Otherwise, you can pay a few dollars (paid in local rupees) to charge your battery in the main dining hall. Carrying a power bank is recommended during your trek in the Nar Phu Valley.

Packing List For Nar Phu Circuit Adventure:

When you are planning holidays for new destinations, one of the major concerns is: what to pack. Especially for adventurous journeys like the nar Phu Circuit Adventure in the Himalayas of Nepal. As per our 25 years of experience in trekking in Nepal, NTE suggests the following gear for a stress-free journey:

Clothing:

  • Thermal tops and bottoms (2-3 pairs)
  • Fleece or down jacket
  • Waterproof and windproof jacket and pants
  • Lightweight, quick-dry trekking pants (2-3 pairs)
  • Moisture-wicking shirts (3-4 pairs)
  • Insulated beanie or hat
  • Insulated gloves
  • Comfortable and quick-drying (4-5 pairs)

Footwear:

  • Wool or synthetic trekking socks (4-5 pairs)
  • Lightweight sandals or sneakers
  • Waterproof and sturdy boots with good ankle support

Other Equipment:

  • 40-50L backpack with a rain cover
  • Headlamp with extra batteries
  • Sleeping bag rated for -10°C to -15°C (14°F to 5°F)
  • Adjustable and shock-absorbing trekking poles
  • Reusable water bottles with water purification tablets or filter
  • Toiletries (wet wipes, toilet paper, female hygiene products, toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, hand sanitizer)
  • First aid kit with any prescribed personal medications
  • Sunglasses
  • Sunscreen and lip balm (with high SPF)
  • Adapters and chargers
  • Power bank

Travel Insurance:

Travel insurance is crucial for the Nar Phu Adventure Trek, as it ensures safety and financial protection in one of Nepal’s most remote and challenging trekking regions. This trek takes you to altitudes exceeding 5,000 meters, with rugged terrain and unpredictable weather, increasing the risk of altitude sickness and accidents. A comprehensive travel insurance policy should cover high-altitude trekking (above 5,000 meters), emergency medical treatment, and helicopter evacuation. Without this coverage, the costs of evacuation or medical assistance in such remote areas can be exorbitant. Additionally, look for a policy that includes coverage for personal belongings, as the trek involves basic teahouses where securing valuables can be challenging.

Porter:

Our tailored-made packages do not include a porter so you can make the decision based on your own needs and preferences. Although not necessary, having a porter can make a massive difference in the enjoyment of your trek. If you are new to trekking at high altitudes then we would recommend having a porter in the Nar Phu Adventure Trek to carry your bag across the rugged terrain. One porter carries the bags of two people (around 20 kg) so that you can carry a small day pack. If you are undecided, we would be happy to discuss porters in more detail when you book your trek.

Nepalese Currency and the 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 10,000 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 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.

      Nar Phu valley trek with guide Resham

      All,
      Do not hesitate and book your Nepal trek with Nepal Trekking experts!
      It is by far the best Trekking agency in Nepal!!

      A few months before our trip, we read excellent reviews so we contacted Rajesh through email to ask about his suggestions of Nepal treks.
      As we are a couple who have been Trekking through Europe Alps, we asked to have a challenging and remote (less crowdy) trek in Nepal, keeping in mind we only had 9 days to do it.
      Rajesh answered within minutes with a detailled overview of the Nar Phu Valley trek, which we had never heard before.
      Immediately we were thrilled about his passion in his answer about the remote Nar Phu valley trek so we continued with several questions which were all answered very professionally within a few hours.
      It was almost impossible not to book this trek so we confirmed and looked forward to our trip a few months later.
      Upon arrival in Kathmandu we met with Rajesh to go over the trip details, which was very usefull, and gave us a relax comfortable feeling to start the trek.
      The night before departure, we met our Guido Resham and went to dinner with Rajesh and his brother Rabin to discuss the last things.
      It was really wonderfull to have this dinner with the 2 brothers Rajesh & Rabin as this made us very at ease to start the exciting adventure.

      We had the luxury to start our trek together with another couple (also from Belgium) who did the Annapurna. So the first 2 days we trekked together with our guide Resham and the other guide Radjan and porter Ram.
      This group was really amazing and in only 2 days we made a strong band all together which we will never forget. Thank you Radjan, Ram & Resham for this excellent start!!

      In Koto our paths seperated as we continued with the Nar Phu part of our trek. The next days were outstanding as the landscape and remoteness of the Nar Phu valley is really ashtonishing! It is a challenging trek, but with Resham as your guide, you will always feel cared and motivated to complete the Trekking day.

      All good words, and believe it or not, but the best is yet to come.
      Our guide Resham is truely one of a kind. We could not wish, dream or think of someone better to guide us during this trek.
      His competence as a guide goes beyond what you expect. Some examples here below:
      - he is very caring and will always help you when needed! He caried our sleeping baggs for a few days as we both suffered from some pain due to heavy backpack.
      - he knows the people, region extremely well. This is usefull as he will fix you always the best rooms and views possible and can be flexible when the planning is changed due to weather or other Conditions.
      - he speaks English very well. Easy to communicate with him and get to know him as a person and also get to know the Nepali culture and nature.
      - always in for a laugh. We enjoyed his presence during the walking and also in the evening when playing "Dumball" card games
      - very smart and empathic. He evaluates from the start your walking rythm and habits and adapts the trek accordingly. He also sees when you have a more difficult day and will offer his help always
      - he brings some snacks along the way so it helps getting your energy boosted when needed
      - so many more...

      Sorry for the long review, but these guys are worth spending time to write and read excellent reviews.

      Thanks Rajesh, Rabin, Radjan, Ram and our "Dai" Resham for this beautifull experience which we will never forget.

      Nepal trekking experts is the best and we will recommend you to everyone we know!!

      Experience for life

      This August we decided to discover Nar-Phu region for 3 weeks, due to monsoon rain in other parts of Nepal. We are a sporty, nature loving family with two kids, age 8 and 10 years. Excellent internet ratings brought us straightly to the office of Nepal Trekking Experts in Thamel, Kathmandu. We enjoyed a cordially welcome by Rabin Neupane, brother of founder Rajesh. From the first minute we found us in specialized, fondly competent hands. Rabin listened carefully to our plans and made a phone call to invite Resham Neupane, a young guide, who he chose to be the right company for us. And he was right! Resham was the guarantee for 21 days of pure and untroubled Trekking through the lonely and inexpressible beautiful landscape of Jagat, Koto, Meta, Nar, Phu, Kang La (5320 m) towards Tilicho Lake and Ice Lake. We experienced all comfort we needed in conciously chosen tea houses. Hs never ending cordiality and patience towards our two children and their needs was outstanding. Resham motivated the kids whenever necessary, he gave mental and - from time to time by a little goody out of his heavy backpack - physical energy to them! He never felt tired making also fun with them, and we enjoyed playing a family card game from Germany together in the evening! Resham as our very experienced guide helped us to adjust the initially planned route with his knowledge with regard to distances and the physical skills he observed in us. We felt safe and in best hands throughout the whole trek We already are planning to come back. If possible again with Resham as our guide! An unforgettable vacation for us! Thank you Trekking Experts!
