Upon arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu, you will be greeted by a representative of our Go Nepal Travel Tours and Treks Pvt. Ltd. who will take you to the hotel. After check-in, we can rest, refresh and drink local chai (tea). In the evening, we will have a welcome dinner in a traditional Nepalese restaurant where we can enjoy authentic Nepalese cuisine. We will spend the night in Kathmandu.

On day 2 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek, after having a delicious breakfast, we begin our guided tour to many of the historical and spiritual attractions of Kathmandu, which are also World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. We will visit the historic Durbar Square, the sacred Hindu temple of Pashupatinath, the famous 'Temple of the Monkeys' (Swayambhunath) and the Buddhist Sanctuary (Bouddhanath), which is also one of the largest stupas in the world. At noon, our climbing officer will review our team, introduce it to the other participants and discuss our trip to the Nar Phu valley in the evening. We will spend the night today also in Kathmandu.

On day 3 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek, we will start our trip early in the morning as we have a long trip ahead of us. We start right after having breakfast and leave Kathmandu at around 7 am. We see beautiful picture worthy views of Nepali countryside, lush green forest, rivers, villages, farms and spectacular Mountain views along the way. After about an 8-10 hour drive, we will arrive at Jagat through Besishahar. The road to Besishahar will be smooth and comfortable to drive on due to the black topped roads. But after Besishahar, the roads become dusty and rough and less comfortable, but the overall 360 beautiful view from the vehicle window will largely make up for the bumpy ride. We will spend the night in Jagat.

On day 4 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek, after breakfast, we will slowly start our journey today. The path of Jagat descends towards the river, then crosses a beautiful dense forest. Another climb leads to a steep cliff facing the coast. On the way, Chyamje enters the scene amid the magnificent scenery of the mountain ranges of Annapurna. After walking past a suspension bridge, we climb abruptly towards the slippery and physically difficult road that leads to Sattale. Following a succession of paths made with stones, we descend to a grass bank that leads to Tal. When we move away from Tal, the road becomes rocky and twisting. Then we approached the steep wooded village of Karte. We finally reach Dharapani after walking along the waterfalls and cliffs and then crossing a suspension bridge. We will spend the night in Dharapani.

On day 5 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek, we start our trek early in the morning towards Bagarchhap, which lasts about one hour crossing forests of pines and firs. We can also visit the monastery in this town. Then we continue on our trip to reach Danaque, which is about an hour. The path climbs quickly to Timang. We have a good view of mountain peaks such as Mt. Manaslu and 29 other peaks from here. Now the path continues through the pine forests to Latamarang, which lasts about an hour and a half. Here we stop for a short lunch break and then continue through the woods, where we have a brief breathtaking view of the majestic Annapurna II. Finally we reached the town of Koto. We will spend the night in Koto.

On day 6 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek, early in the morning, we will register our restricted area license at the police checkpoint. Then we will cross the Soti Khola river bank again through beautiful pine forests, streams and a suspension to reach Dharmasala. We will also have our picnic on the way. We then continue the trek through the forests and quickly climb to Meta village. We finally arrive on the Tibetan plateau where we have a very good view of Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal. We will spend the night in Meta.

On day 7 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek, we begin our day by crossing suspension bridges over different beautiful streams. After almost 4 hours of walking, we arrive at Kyang where we can see the remnants of the old, especially the ruined fortresses of the Khampa colony (the place that Khampa refugees from Tibet once captured and lived). Then we continue to Phu Khola along a rocky road and finally reach the village of Phu in about 3 to 4 hours. We will spend the night in Phu Gaon.

On day 8 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek, we take a much-needed acclimatization day to rest and adjust ourselves to the high altitude. Since we are in the hidden valley of Nar Phu, it’s a perfect opportunity for us to explore the local culture, natural beauty, and religious practices of ethnic groups here like the Lama, Gurung, and Ghale communities. We also learn how the people here depend on agriculture, livestock, and seasonal migration for their livelihoods.

One of the highlights of the day is visiting the Tashi Lakhang Monastery, which is an old and important Buddhist monastery ranked among the 108 greatest Buddhist monasteries in the world. It is believed to be the last monastery built by Karmapa Rinpoche. Along with cultural exploration, we are also treated to the breathtaking views of Himlung Himal and other snow-capped peaks that surround the valley. Tonight also we will stay in the beautiful village of Phu Gaon.

On day 9 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek, the path descends through many streams and suspension bridges to reach Mahendra Pul, which lasts about 4 hours. We pass the 80m high suspension bridge in the gorges of the Lapche River. Then we will have lunch at Mahendra Pul. After lunch, the trail climbs quickly through many Buddhist stupas to the village of Nar, which lasts for about 2 hours. Here we will find several Buddhist monasteries to visit, as well as the amazing views of Pisang Peak and other peaks to see. We will spend the night in Nar. 

On day 10 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek, this is the second day of acclimatization/rest planned for this hike. We will spend the day walking around, exploring the village of Nar and closely observing the local culture and way of life. We will also prepare for the long morning walk for tomorrow, on this day. We will spend the night today also in Nar.

Day 11 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek is a day of adventure with a long day of constant walking. We will wake up early in the morning to head to Kangla Pass. From the pass you can see the majestic and breathtaking Annapurna mountain area. We then continued on our way to reach Ngwal. We will spend the night in Ngwal.

On day 12 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek, from Ngwal, we will head towards Manang today. We walk past the isolated village of Paugh and admire the breath-taking views of the Annapurna mountain range. Then we climbed to Mungli and then to the main trail of Annapurna in Mungli. Finally we will arrive at Manang, where we will set up our camps to spend the night. We will spend the night in Manang.

On day 13 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek, from the village of Manang, the path walks past a stream, then climbs into a village of Tenki above Manang, and then continues out of the Marshyangdi Valley turning to the northwest in the Jarsang Khola Valley. The path follows this valley to the north through a few pastures, juniper, as it gains altitude. The path goes further near the small village of Ghunsa. 

Now the path walks past meadows where horses and yaks can be seen grazing. After crossing a small river on a wooden bridge, the path runs along an old wall of Mani in a meadow, then joins another small village of Yak Kharka. We will spend the night at Yak Kharka.

On day 14 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek, we will make our way to Thorong Phedi, which is the base of the Thorong La Pass. Thorong Phedi is a small but busy place that serves tired trekkers and mountaineers. Many hikers, like us, will use this point as a base camp. Some trekkers also attempt to climb a bit higher to High Camp to make the next day's crossing easier. However, to make sure we get a better night's rest and avoid the risks of sleeping at a higher altitude, we will stop and stay overnight at Thorong Phedi.

On day 15 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek, we will cross the difficult Thorong La Pass which is at an impressive height of 5,416 meters and is one of the major highlights of this trek. It’s important for us to start early to safely cross the frozen high-altitude path, but the breathtaking mountain views make the difficult climb worthwhile. By sunset, we will reach Muktinath, which is a sacred pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists. Here, we can explore the area, visit the famous Vishnu temple and a nearby monastery. We will spend the night in Muktinath.

On day 16 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek, we begin to descend Kali Gandaki gorge through the barren land. We will pass through the villages of Jharkot and Khingar, with Tibetan architecture to admire. Following the bottom of the valley almost along the banks of Kali Gandaki, we will then arrive at Jomsom. We will spend the nightc in Jomsom.

On day 17 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek, after having breakfast, we will fly to Pokhara. The scenic flight will take us through the gorge of two huge mountains, Annapurna and Dhaulagiri which provide us with a surreal view to look at. Upon arrival at Pokhara airport, we will be transferred to the hotel next to the lake. We will rest and explore the beauty of the Pokhara valley at night. We will also walk peacefully along the shores of Lake Fewa, which is the second largest lake in Nepal. We will also get the chance to admire the view of the Machhapuchhare Mountain. We can also take a boat trip on Lake Fewa or take a short walk to the World Peace Pagoda. We can end the day walking in the beautiful area of the lake. We will spend the night in Pokhara.

On day 18 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek, after having breakfast, we will return to Kathmandu. After arriving in Kathmandu, we will be transferred to our hotel where we will check in. Now there is nothing more to do than exchange emails with other travellers and organize our photos. We can spend the afternoon quietly or maybe also do some last-minute souvenir purchases. Finally at night we will also celebrate the end of our trip with a farewell dinner at night. We will spend the night in Kathmandu. 

Day 19 of our Nar Phu Valley Trek is unfortunately our final day as our peaceful, culturally rich and eventful adventure on Nar Phu Valley in Nepal ends today. A representative of our Go Nepal Travel Tours and Treks Pvt. Ltd. will accompany you to the airport about 3 hours before your scheduled flight. On the way back, you will have plenty of time to plan for your next adventure in the wonderful country of Nepal.
