The remoteness of the Nar Phu valley and its proximity to Tibet made that the people and their culture have remained more akin to Tibet than Nepal. The 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 the lovely views of the Annapurna. Around Manang we join the main Annapurna trail after walking for a couple of days, before leaving the main trail again we trek to Tilicho Lake. The trails on this trek are rarely used and this exciting new itinerary offers you the nice adventurous trekking high up in the mountain. The exotic door to 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 enjoying and having a joyous typical lifestyle in the valley. Narphu valley Trekking begins from Koto via walking through a unique Marsyandi valley. It can cover Annapurna circuit in four weeks.

The Nar and Phu valleys are newly opened and it's spectacular regions of ethnically-Tibetan inhabitants. This is a trek that combines remote villages, narrow canyons, lovely forests, ridiculous rock formations, yaks, gompas and unique Himalayan cultures. 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 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 only have explored in this area. We can 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 where you feel really an extreme feeling.
