24 Days- Nar Phu Valley & Annapurna Trek

The recently opened, breathtaking Nar and Phu valleys are home to ethnically Tibetan people. Remote villages, winding canyons, beautiful forests, breathtaking rock formations, yaks, gompas, and distinctive Himalayan cultures are all part of this trek. The bridge that crosses the Marshyangdi River to reach the steep portals of the Nar Phu valley system is easily overlooked when trekking the standard Annapurna circuit. Despite the narrow and forested entrance, the valley system above opens up to a vast expanse of high snow-peaks, ancient villages, and high altitude grazing settlements.

Few Westerners have visited these essentially unexplored villages or scaled the numerous 7000-meter peaks that surround it, as it was closed to trekkers until late 2002. We will travel to this isolated area of upper Manang and remain at the winter settlement.
