Why Choose Narphu Valley Trek with classic Annapurna Circuit Trek?

Last updated April 12, 2026

The Nar Phu valley trek is a less popular but equally exciting trek in Nepal that takes you through the remote and isolated Nar and Phu valleys. Located in the Annapurna region of Nepal, this trek offers stunning views of the Annapurna mountain range and takes you through traditional villages, ancient monasteries, and high passes.

The trek starts in Jagat and takes about 23 days to complete if you include the classic Annapurna Circuit route also. Along the way, you will have the opportunity to interact with the local Tibetan-influenced communities and learn about their culture and way of life. The Nar Phu valley trek is a challenging trek that requires a good level of physical fitness, but it is a rewarding experience for those who are up for the challenge.

The entire trail is adorned with fragments of Tibetan Buddhist culture including numerous Chortens, Stupas, and monasteries. The trail itself goes through restricted trekking areas and requires special passes. However, the picturesque glacial views, amazing formations of rock, canyons, forests, and wildlife make the trek worth any and every pass.

The main destinations on the trail are the remote and distinct villages of Nar and Phu. Both villages carry amazing natural vistas and unique cultures. Other villages passed include Meta, Koto, and the classic villages in the Annapurna Circuit trail like Manang, Muktinath, and Marpha, and even climb Poon Hill for the last goodbye to the Himalayas.

You will pass through the Kangla pass which lies at an altitude of 5300m and the Thorong La pass at an altitude of 5416m making for an incredible mountain experience. Join us on this incredible adventure in the Himalayas combining the best of three treks; Nar Phu Valley, Annapurna Circuit, and Poonhill trek. This will surely be an experience you will not forget.

Kathmandu Sightseeing (1,400m)

Visit cultural and religious sites of Swayambhunath, called the monkey Temple, Pashupatinath, one of the largest temples in Nepal, and Bouddhanath, the large stupa in our itinerary today. 

Pashupatinath Temple:   One of the oldest Hindu temples, Pashupatinath Temple, is dedicated to Lord Shiva, also known as the "Lord of All Beings." Lord Shiva is the embodiment of the universe's destructive aspect. The Pashupatinath complex is traversed by the revered Bagmati river. For those who pass away on the banks of the river, cremation rites are performed by the majority of Hindus in the Kathmandu Valley.

Swayambhunath Stupa:  The Swayambhunath stupa is one of the most revered Buddhist stupas in Nepal. It is thought to have materialized when, in ancient times, the Bodhisattva Manjushri carved a canyon at Chhobhar using his flaming sword to drain the waters of the huge lake that was Kathmandu.

Bouddhanath Stupa: Lord Buddha's four pairs of eyes are positioned in the four cardinal directions atop the 2500-year-old Buddhist stupa in the Valley, which was erected in the fifth century. This stupa keeps a constant watch over people and their actions. Buddhist pilgrims from Tibet may be seen spinning prayer wheels as they round the stupa.

 You can also walk around Thamel and Visit the Kathmandu Durbar Square in the evening. The Kathmandu durbar square houses the palace of the Malla kings including old temples like the Taleju and Kastapmandap.

Today we have a challenging day ahead of us. We will have to cross two passes to reach Nar village: the Phu and Nar pass. We will cross numerous suspension bridges and streams. Nearby Pisang Peaks can be seen from the trail. We have to pack our lunch today as there are no teahouses along the entire way to Nar. The famous Mahendra Pool Bridge is crossed today. The bridge is named after the late King Mahendra of Nepal and was built in the 1960s to provide a connection between the Nar and Phu valleys. The Mahendra bridge is a vital link for the local people of the Nar and Phu valleys, as it provides access to essential services such as healthcare, education, and trade. Nar village is located at the foot of the Kang La pass, which lies at an altitude of 5300 meters and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains.

From The Gangapurna lake, we move towards the famous Manang Valley Viewpoint. From the Viewpoint, we can see panoramic views of Gangapurna, Annapurna II, Tilicho Peak, Pisang Peak, and Cholu peak.

From here we see the best views of the Manang valley as well as Annapurna and Gangapurna. There is an apple farm here also. The trail now consists mainly of short shrubs and thorny bushes. We reach the village of Ghusang from where we can enjoy the views of the surrounding mountains while sipping warm tea. A gradual incline leads up to Yak Kharka where we see flocks of Thar. Just before we reach Yak Kharka we get to see views of many teahouses from the trail. After crossing the tea houses, Chulo Far east can be seen as well as Thorong peak which lies just in front of us. After a short duration of walking uphill, we reach the village of Yak Kharka where we grab lunch. Then after lunch, we take a short hike in order to acclimatize and explore the region.

We move from Yak Kharka after breakfast and moving gradually uphill we reach the village of Leather from where we can see excellent views of the Manang valley. We cross a suspension bridge and ascend to find a few teashops where we take a short rest and drink tea. The road ahead is quite dangerous and prone to rockfall. Around 30 minutes are taken to cross this narrow and quite risky trail. 

Walking slightly more we reach Thorong Phedi. At Thorong Phedi we grab lunch and hike to the High Camp to get our bodies used to the altitude as it does take some time to get used to the thin air. We return back to our lodge for the night. Some may experience altitude sickness symptoms as well as face difficulties sleeping. This is quite normal. 

If our bodies are fit and we are healthy, we can stay at High Camp instead of Thorong Phedi which will make the trip easier the next day

Thorong Phedi → Muktinath via Thorong La (5,416m)

Today is the main day for the trek as we aim to cross the Thorang La pass. Waking up early we pack lunch and breakfast and start ascending to Thorang La. The road is narrow and as the sun is not up yet we must be careful and use headlights to find our way along the trail. Small teahouses are also seen to line the trail. Just before we reach the Thorang La, we get to witness the sunrise in the mountains. At Thorang La, we are between two massive peaks. You can see amazing panoramic views of the mountains and take wonderful pictures to commemorate your success of making it to and pass the Thorang La, a dream come to reality for many. On two sides of the pass, we can see the Annapurna Circuit trail we walked previously and the route to Upper Mustang.

After crossing the Thorang la, the route descends deeply and is lined with gravel and even ice in the winter, and thus care must be taken not to slip. Many small houses to take shelter from ice storms can be seen along the route. We again reach a new village also known as Thorang Phedi where we grab lunch. We rest here for some time. The route from here is quite easy as we descend. Views of the Dhaulagiri range, Nilgiri, Tukuche, and Thakpa peaks can be seen. We cross a suspension bridge and after a short duration of walking, we reach the Muktinath Temple where a tourist checkpoint exists. We explore the temple compound which is revered by both Hindus and Buddhists alike. There are 108 water taps which are said to cleanse bad karma. A monastery here also houses a natural gas flame that is said to never stop. A nunnery is present here also. The Muktinath temple complex is amazingly interesting to explore.  After this, we reach our hotel and drop our belongings. Here, in Muktinath, there are massive statues of Padmasambhava and the Buddha. Aishwarya lake can also be seen from the complex.

I respect not only my own culture but also those of other communities. My unwavering commitment has been an enormous boon to the organization's ability to function smoothly. I recently received my license from the Ministry of Tourism Hotel Management tourist training center and have a certificate for providing first aid at high altitudes.

11 years of experience

I am a field member of Accessible Adventure with more than a decade of experience working in the field of travel and tourism. I am certified as a trekking guide and was brought up among the wondrous sights and sounds of Mother Nature in the picturesque town of Dhading. The rolling landscape complete with mountains, valleys, and rivers has always piqued my interest. Because of my deep love for the outdoors, I decided to pursue a career in tourism. My disposition is cordial and upbeat, and I am responsible and experienced.
