About This Journey

Trip Overview

Discover the hidden side of the Annapurna region on the spectacular Nar Phu Valley Trek, a remote Himalayan adventure combining dramatic mountain scenery, ancient Tibetan Buddhist culture and traditional mountain villages. Far from the busy Annapurna trails, the route leads into the secluded valleys of Nar and Phu, surrounded by towering peaks, rugged landscapes, ancient monasteries and centuries-old Himalayan traditions.

Cross high mountain passes, explore remote settlements and experience a way of life that has remained closely connected to the mountains for generations. The Nar Phu Valley Trek in Nepal is ideal for adventurous travellers seeking an authentic, less-travelled Himalayan experience with a strong cultural and wilderness character. Discover Phu, a remarkable Tibetan-influenced mountain village perched high above the valley, where stone houses, narrow lanes and ancient monasteries reflect centuries of Himalayan life.

After exploring the remote valleys, the trail rejoins the Annapurna Circuit at Ngawal. From here, you have the option to continue towards the legendary Thorong La Pass and descend through Lower Mustang to Pokhara, extending your journey by only 4 additional days. This makes the trek an excellent way to combine the hidden Nar Phu valleys with  Nepal’s most iconic Annapurna Circuit Trek. 

Remote valleys. Ancient traditions. A true journey into the hidden Himalayas.
