Nar Phu Cultural Trek Difficulty

The Nar Phu Valley Trek is a challenging trek that requires good physical fitness. It is not the hardest trek in Nepal, but it can be tough for those who are not used to high-altitude trekking.

The trail involves long walking days, steep climbs, and high-altitude passes, with the highest point at Kang La Pass (5,320 meters). As you go higher, the thin air can make breathing more difficult, and trekkers should be aware of the risks of altitude sickness.

Proper acclimatization is important. The trek includes rest days to help your body adjust to the altitude. The terrain ranges from forest paths to rocky trails and snowy sections, requiring careful walking and sometimes the use of trekking poles.

Nar Phu valley trek is best suited for trekkers who are in good physical shape and have experience with long, tough treks. With the right preparation, the Nar Phu Valley Trek offers a rewarding experience for those looking for a challenging adventure.

Best Time To Trek In Nar And Phu Area

The best time to trek the Nar Phu Valley is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). Spring and Autumn are the most favorable conditions for Nar Phu valley trekking.

Spring

The weather is moderate, and the lower regions are filled with greenery and blooming flowers. The temperature is comfortable, and the skies are mostly clear, offering excellent views of the mountains.

Autumn

The weather is stable, with clear skies and mild temperatures. The trails are dry, and the views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks are spectacular.

It is best to avoid trekking during the monsoon (June to August) and winter (December to February). During the monsoon, the trails can be slippery and at risk of landslides, while in winter, heavy snowfall makes the trails difficult and dangerous.

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!
