Nar Phoo Valley and Tilicho Lake Trekking

Trip code NAP-NPV-405

Open since 2003 to the westerner visitors, Nar & Phu valley trek takes you to exotic land that has preserved medieval Tibetan culture in its original form as Nar & phu valley is inhabited by Nepalese Tibetans. This amazing trek takes you to the real Shangrilla via the challenging high passes like Masokanto La (5099m), Kangla pass (5200m) & Tilicho Pass (5230m) picturing dramatic mountain views and great alpine scenery in your eyes.

The Annapurna Nar & Phu valley & Tilicho Lake Trek is an ideal trek for those who are ardent to visit remote regions of Nepal beyond the regular trekking routes. It is a camping trek that offers the pictorial landscape of recently opened region of Nar and Phu valley, situated just north of popular Annapurna circuit route. Nar & Phu Valley trekking is fully supported camping trek. Trekkers carry only day pack and walk at their own pace. The Nar & Phu valley geography is Trans Himalayan and similar to that of Tibet. Trails are still rugged that has changed little over the years. We spend few days in exploring this remote valley and cross the Kang La pass (5300m) on the way to Manang. Leaving famed Manang we head to Jomsom via the best-kept secret remote trekking route of Meso Kantu pass (5099m) and the world’s highest situated outstanding Tilicho Lake (5300m). This trek explores the interesting Nar Phu valley where about 300 inhabitants still depending only on livestock and yak herding for their livelihood exist. Crossing two beautiful but challenging passes and trekking about 4-5 days through Tilicho Lake you will end your trekking in Jomson.
