Nar Phu Valley Trekking Nepal:
The Annapurna
region undoubtedly provides some of the world's best trekking routes,
including a greater variety of scenery and culture than can be found in any
other comparable area. Although the normal circuit of Annapurna is a
magnificent route, this new circular trek offers a wild and remote
alternative including the newly-opened Nar and Phu Valleys and Tilicho Lake.
|
 |
The remoteness of the Nar Phu valley and its proximity to Tibet has meant that
the people and their culture have remained more akin to Tibet than Nepal. This
also means that snow leopards and blue sheep are often seen in the area. We visit both Nar and Phu villages before crossing the Kang La Pass
with magnificent views of the Annapurna. Around Manang we join the main
Annapurna trail for a couple of days, before we set off on the second half of
the trek. Leaving the main trail again we trek to Tilicho Lake - ‘The Great Ice
Lake’, as Maurice Herzog described it in the 1950s - which lies tucked away
below huge mountains and glaciers. The trails on this trek are rarely used and
this exciting new itinerary offers the adventurous and fit trekker high mountain
scenery at its very best.
An exotic door to
Nar-Phu,/Narphu valley Trekking, has
been opened to visitors only since 2003. This is one of the best regions for
viewing majestic mountains in the high land. The Phu is the most beautiful
medieval village where you can learn the real life styles of Bhote communities
enjoy and have a pleasure of the fabulous and typical landscape of the valley.
Narphu valley Trekking begins from
Koto via walking through a unique Marsyandi
valley. It could cover Annapurna
circuit in four weeks.
The Nar and Phu valleys are newly opened,
spectacular regions of ethnically-Tibetan inhabitants. This is a trek that
combines remote villages, narrow canyons, lovely forests, amazing rock
formations, yaks, gompas and unique Himalayan cultures. Trekking the standard
Annapurna circuit, the bridge leading over the Marshyangdi River to the steep
portals of the Nar Phu valley system is easily missed, but although the entrance
is narrow and forested, the valley system above opens up to a huge expanse of
high snow-peaks, ancient villages and high altitude grazing settlements. Two
long days of walking from the border of Tibet, this region was first explored by Tilman in the 1950s. Closed to trekkers until late 2002, very few westerners
have explored these virtually untouched villages or climbed the many 7000m peaks
surrounding it. We will venture into this remote region of upper Manang, staying
at the winter settlement of Nar, and visit one of the most unvisited and most
interesting regions in the Tibetan Buddhist world
