Nar, Phu & Hidden Valleys 19 days

Only recently-opened to trekkers the area of Nar and Phu, close to the Tibet border, is destined to become one of the great trekking destinations in Nepal. The trail begins at Bhulbhule and follows the Marsyandi River Valley north through terraced hillsides to the village of Koto that lies behind the Annapurna Range. Leaving the popular trail behind, our trek takes us a deep and narrow valley into the previously restricted wilds of Nar Khola Valley. Trekking in the area is unlike most of Nepal, with the wild, barren and treeless terrain similar to that of Tibet. Trails are rugged and at times cut high into side of the cliff, in an area that has changed little over the years. We spend a number of days exploring the region and visit the remote villages of Nar and Phu, as well as crossing Kang La (Pass). The route then rejoins the Marsyandi River Valley at Humde, from where we fly back to Pokhara en route to Kathmandu.
