For Himalayan addicts only! The Nar and Phu
valleys are newly opened, spectacular regions of
ethnically Tibetans inhabitants for those of you
that think you trekked all. This is a trek that
combines high peaks and passes, glaciers, remote
villages, narrow canyons, lovely forests,
amazing rock formations, yaks, gompas and unique
Himalayan cultures. Trekking the standard
Annapurna circuit, the bridge leading over the
Maryland River to the steep portals of the Nar/Phu
valley system is easily missed, but although the
entrances is narrow and forested, the valley
system above opens up to a huge expanse of high
snow-peaks, ancient villages and high altitude
grazing settlements. Two long days of walking
from the border of Tibet, Tilman first explored
this region in 1950s. Closed to trekkers until
late 2002, very few westerners have explored
these virtually untouched villages or climbed
the many 7000-meters peak surrounded it. We will
venture into this remote region of Upper Manang.
Camping along the way at the winter settlement
of Nar and Phu, and visit some of the most
unvisited and interesting villages in the
Tibetan Buddhist world. Buddhist pilgrims from
around Nepal might accompany us up to Phu to
visit the renowned Tashi Lha Khang monastery and
receive a blessing from Lama Karma Sonam
Rinpochhe. Along with spending plenty of time at
these colorful and timeless villages, we
explored the high alpine valleys above Phu
(including Himlung base camp for those who want
to), and crossing Kang La pass fro Nar to Ngwal
on the Pisang route leading back into the
Annapurna circuit. Just in case one 5315-meter
pass isn't enough, we will head west over the
Thorong La pass (5416-meter) and down through
lower Mustang, where we will spend a few days
exploring before heading on to Jomsom, and
finally fly back to Pokhara and Kathmandu.
Highlights of the
