Gyajing Kang
lies in Nar Phu Valley a part of Manang District. The most direct route
from Kathmandu to Nar and Phu as well as Gyajing Kang Base Camp is along
the Marshyangdi Rive from Besi Shahar. Travelers trek through the
Himalayan foothills and round the eastern end of the Annapurna region
before they arrive at Qupar, a police check post half and hour before
Chame, Manang's administrative center of Manang district. |

From here
a long and steep trail winds up to Nar and Phu whose villagers, laden with
goods purchased in Chame and even lower down in Besi Shahar, the end of the
road head leading to Manang, often camp at Dharmashala, a rudimentary wooden
hut built by the people from the two villages.
Our main destination is to reach the Mt. Gyajing Kang towards, above the
tree line on the upper limits of cultivation, in the very north of Manang
district. It takes five hours reaching the pass that links Nar with Manang
and three other Bhotia villages in the Nyershang down valley. Also we can
fly to into Hongde airport either from Kathmandu by charter flight or from
Pokhara.
At the present time, Nar Phu the population about 300 inhabitants who depend
on livestock, unlike most Bhotia people, whose trading patterns changed
drastically after the Nepali Government closed borders with Tibet, the
people of Nar and Phu valley were least affected by this change. The
tortuous path leading from the valley into Tibet had never made them
dependent on the salt trade, and till today yak herding is the basis of
their livelihood and so on.
As per recent decision by the government of Nepal to open up Nar and Phu to
tourists has evoked little enthusiasm among the villagers, whose pastoral
lifestyle continues. Apart from the odd researcher and climbing expeditions
permitted to climb Mt. Himlung, Ratna Chuli, Mt. Kang Guru and Gyajing Kang,
few foreigners has visited the area and tourism infrastructure is almost
non-existent.
