Trip Overview

The Annapurna Narphu Valley Trek is a captivating journey that offers a blend of remote adventure, diverse landscapes, and cultural immersion in the lesser-known regions of Nepal. This trek combines the well-trodden Annapurna Circuit with the off-the-beaten-path Narphu Valley, providing an enriched trekking experience that few travelers get to explore. Spanning approximately 15 to 20 days, the trek covers around 160-200 kilometers (100-125 miles) and includes both high-altitude challenges and unique cultural encounters.

Starting from the bustling town of Kathmandu, trekkers drive to Koto, the gateway to the Narphu Valley. From there, the trek heads into the remote Narphu Valley, characterized by its rugged terrain, ancient monasteries, and traditional villages. Highlights of the trek include the scenic beauty of the Narphu Valley, the high-altitude pass of Kang La (5,306 meters / 17,409 feet), and the return to the Annapurna Circuit. The trek then merges with the Annapurna Circuit route, offering classic Himalayan views and cultural experiences. Key destinations include Meta, Phu, and Nar, each showcasing unique local traditions and stunning landscapes. The trek concludes in Jomsom or Pokhara, where trekkers can relax and reflect on their journey through these remote and picturesque regions.
