Nar Phu Valley Trek

Once you land at Tribhuban International Airport (TIA), a friendly representative from our company will be there to take you to your hotel for the trip. You can take it easy and unwind at the hotel. Afterwards, you’ll join us for a trek briefing with our team members. Then, you’ll spend the night at the hotel in Kathmandu.

Discover the famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Kathmandu Valley, such as Swyambhunath, also known as the Monkey Temple, Pashupatinath, and Boudhanath. Admire the unique architecture of these structures and explore Kathmandu Durbar Square. After exploring these sites, head back to your hotel. You can use the rest of the day to make final preparations for the trek. Spend the night at the hotel in Kathmandu.

After breakfast, we begin our trek and register our permit at the Police Check Post. We walk alongside the riverbank of Soti Khola, passing through lovely woods, small cave shelters, and resting spots for pilgrims. Along the way, we enjoy our packed lunch. We then continue our trek to Meta village. Meta is located on a large open plain and has a few lodges. From here, we can enjoy excellent views of Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal. We’ll spend the night at a simple guesthouse.

After breakfast, we’ll follow a trail that goes up and down, crossing suspension bridges over streams. In a few hours of trekking, we’ll reach Kyang, where there’s a settlement of Khampa people who fled Tibet. After a few more hours of hiking through beautiful canyons and gorges, we’ll arrive at Phu village. We’ll spend the night at a hotel there.

Today, we have the option to explore Phu village or hike up to Himlung Himal base camp. In Phu village, we can learn about the local culture and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Spending time with the villagers and watching them spin yak and sheep wool can be an interesting experience.

For those seeking an extra challenge, the hike to Himlung Himal base camp offers stunning views as it takes you through a glacial valley. We’ll spend the night back at Phu village.

After breakfast, we’ll head down the trail towards the river, crossing several suspension bridges along the way. One of the bridges we’ll cross is over the Lapche River, which hangs 80 meters above the gorge. We’ll stop for lunch at Mahendra Pul.

After lunch, we’ll continue our trek, passing by many Buddhist monasteries and gompas until we reach Nar. Tonight, we’ll stay at Nar Monastery. You’ll have the opportunity to spend time with the people from the monastery, perhaps watching them prepare dinner over a modest fireplace. Around 5 pm, they usually hold a puja (blessing), and you’re welcome to witness it. We’ll spend the night at the monastery.

After breakfast, we’ll climb out of Nar Phedi and follow a winding path up a hill to Nar. Nar is livelier than Phu, and you’ll notice more social activity in the village. You might find the village “square” bustling with women chatting as they weave wool fabric for rugs and blankets on their back-strap looms. We’ll spend the day exploring Nar village, getting a close look at the local culture and lifestyle. We’ll stay overnight in Nar village.

Today promises more adventure as we embark on a long day hike. We’ll start our trek after an early breakfast and make our way to the Kangla Pass. From the pass, we’ll be treated to magnificent views of the Annapurna massif, including Annapurna II, Gangapurna, Tilicho Peak, and the beautiful high-altitude airport in Hongde. After soaking in the breathtaking scenery, we’ll continue our trail down to Ngawal. We’ll spend the night in Ngawal.

After breakfast, we start our trek downhill towards Pisang, which marks the final leg of our journey. The trail is wide and easy to walk on, offering spectacular views along the way, including a beautiful lake. Eventually, we reach Pisang, which is the last destination of our trekking adventure. From there, we’ll take a jeep back to Besisahar, where we’ll spend the night.

After breakfast at the hotel, we’ll board the bus early in the morning in Besisahar for our journey back to Kathmandu. It’s a fantastic experience as we pass by satellite towns, rural villages, and gushing rivers along the way. After about 6 hours of driving, we’ll reach Kathmandu. Upon arrival, we’ll head straight to the hotel to freshen up and then enjoy a farewell dinner with the representatives from Danphe Adventure Treks. We’ll spend the night in Kathmandu.
