Nar Phu Valley Trek - 19 Days

Nap Phu Valley of the Annapurna Region

 

Nar Phu Valley is the supreme exclusive trekking region which leads you to the isolated remote and pristine region of Annapurna which is situated in the northeast valley near Chame. These two Nar and Phu are different villages in different valleys where the Nar valley is bigger than the Phu. Earlier this region was a strictly restricted region for treks but the government of Nepal opened this destination from 2003 which has very rich cultural and natural beauty. The residing communities here are people of Tibetan origin bearing Nepali citizenship now, migrated here centuries ago.

The focal fascination of this Nar Phu valley bestow you with the enthralling sights of Mount Manaslu (8165 m), Mount Dhaulagiri (8166 m), Mount Annapurna I (8090 m) and more than 19 snowcapped peaks of Annapurna range while trekking in the wonderful crags throughout your trail. On the trial to Nar Phu, you will also be walking around the attractive flora and fauna throughout your path until you reach Nar Phu valley. This is an inspiring trek where we will also be passing above high passes such as Mesokanto La (5098 m), Kangla Pass (5201 m), Tilicho Pass (5231m) and the fabulous cobalt blue - Tilicho Lake. 

The additional magnet of this valley is that we will also be visiting various antique Buddhists nunneries. Continuing on the trail, snow leopards and blue sheep are often perceived in this region. Most of the people residing in this region are dependent on livestock farming practices.

The trekking starts from Chamje, a 9hrs drive from Kathmandu. From here our actual trekking begins where we start the same trail as of the Annapurna circuit. We then reach Koto and crossing the bridge following over the Marshyangdi River to the steep entrances of the Nar Phu valley. This entrance is narrow and the trail is filled with dense forests, the vale structure above opens up to a massive area of snowcapped peaks, isolated villages, and high elevation grazing settlements.

We then explore this isolated region of Nar Phu valley. And even get blessings form the head Lama (Buddhist monk). Alongside we spend ample amount of time with the warm hospitability of people living here and discover the village as we travel around through high hilly valleys above Phu. The Kang La Pass (5316 m) will be our astonishing pass and then head towards the village of Manang which is at the altitude of 3505 m and 11485 ft. We then head to Yak Kharka, then to Thorangpedi, to Muktinath and finally to Jomsom and take an airstrip to Pokhara and back to Kathmandu.

The actual trekking to this valley is flawless during spring and autumn. But we Accent Himalaya operate this trekking every season throughout the year as per the client’s holiday schedule. So even if our already made itinerary does not fit your schedule, we even customize you with a different one.

This was one of our truly adventurous - trip of a lifetime .  the Accent Himalaya team arranged the trip so well and the service was beyond my expectation. I am very overwhelmed by Suman (i thikn he was the owner ) who was very dedicated right form starting to the end.  the trip went very smoothly. the Sherpa guide was very cool ,my family had a great fun.  we were a total of five. the accommodation and food were really good. 

we stayed at the Hyatt (beleive me it was good) in kathmandu.  journey to EBC was okay.  I was worried about the food in remote areas but it was arranged well. the trek was challenging though, with efforts and some guidelines of Binod and suman , I  finally made it. physical exercises like running, and  hiking for 2 hours a day helped me  build up the stamina.

my daughter was not well adapted to the high altitude and i want to thakn Sherpa guide for medication. .

the trek was challenging but worth and rewarding.  14 days passed very smoothly. the great view of the Himalayan ranges in frnt of my eyes was mindblowing.  I  told them that i want to join a group as I always alone.  the private one , the price is bit higher, so i prefer to travel in a group.  without any hassle, they put me into the group of seven people and I want to thank Accent himalaya for arranging my trip the way I wanted it to be.

I have visited this country often with my family members for sightseeing but never attempted this challenging trek. so it was my first trekking experience hiking to high altitude.  kalapatthar was our maximum highest altitude point of this trek. (something like 5000 meters). The guides suggested me to take Daimox before heading up, so i was fine. the view early in the morning was magnificent.

the food and homestay were great. my other group members were very friendly and now we are great friends and we still contact on facebook.

We had the superb experience trekking all to the challenging Everest base camp trek where I and my husband had our great 10th anniversary day which was my dream to reach at the base camp on our anniversary date that will be on 27th April. He had booked this trip with Accent Himalaya, had appropriately arranged it well and thanks to the team we reached to the base camp on the day of our anniversary and the credit goes all to our Sherpa guides and the owner of this company where they arranged the itinerary in such a way that we made it to reach at the date of our anniversary on the EBC.

As my husband being an adventurous trekker had done many trekking but me myself as the novice trekkers always had the dream of reaching to the EBC and thanks to my husband who motivated me that I am capable to do this trek and even thanks to the team of the accent Himalaya company who made this trip completely victorious trip and was the best anniversary gift of my whole life.

Like the great surprise was in the Everest base camp where my husband with the team of the company had arranged the cake and champagne where we had the great fun together and capture the best memories. As the company provide to us with one Sherpa guide and porter whom was from the Everest region and the guide was too much friendly where he share with us about their culture and their traditions and even share the political of Nepal on the trail where we got abundant knowledge about Nepal and heads up to the porter who carried our luggage without having any stress in his face and always having a smile on his face which makes even more enthusiastic to move along.

It was my amazing trip in camaraderie group where I join the group of 7 people to the EBC trek where everyone was from the different destination and I was not left alone as I was enjoying the group where everybody was very cordial and feel like a family as our guides as all the responsible was taken good care of where we just only have to trek and the rest from our foods till accommodation all was taken care of by our well experienced guide. As I have done many trekking in Nepal but in group it was my first experience where I enjoyed this enthralling Everest Base camp trek only with the help of those team of Accent Himalaya.

All was well arranged from food to accommodation as the food provided was carb which was needed much doing trekking for longer hours and days and the accommodation in Kathmandu we stay at the five rated star hotel at the Hyatt regency which was the best hotel where from the window we are able to get to the view the biggest stupa in south Asia which is Boudhanathstuapa and even the food was great where we had choice from continental food to their Nepali cuisine where we try Nepali food where the taste of the food was brilliant with good spices. As in the journey to the EBC we stay in some of the lodges where we have to share the room with same sex where we feel very comfortable and even the room was ok and the food they provide where our guide always make sure that we get the fresh food he always visit the kitchen and see the food are well cleaned and then only we are being served.

Since this was my first experience trekking in Nepal and also solo traveler where I booked this trip from the Accent Himalaya Company where I request them to that I would love to travel in a group where in other travel company I go though it there was no such group because I booked this trip in offseason so, most of the company there was no group and luckily I came through this Accent Himalaya company where there was a group of five people who was trekking to the ghorepani poon hill and then I booked this trip and was all set for my trip.

The group of the people where from different country with different sex and age but that was not the problem I was worried trekking in solo but thank god there was the group and all the members of the group were very supportive and helpful and together in a group we trek without a rush where each and every member in the group capture the best scenery the only sad part was that we did not get to view the sunrise view due to bad weather because there was a lot of foggy so we did not get the best sunrise view nonetheless we were rewarded with the magnificence mountain view of the Annapurna region.

For me it was first experience and it was my first time visit where I was alone and after landing in the airport I was bit worried where there was lot of people all around and far away I got the spot of the sign board of the company where they came to me and took me into their private car and drop me to the respective hotel where I fell very relieve later I visited their office and met the group and all was friendly and then we discuss about the trip and was all set for our trekking.

The trip was outstanding and hats off to our guide and porter where the company provide us one guide with three strong porters where all our baggage was carried by this strong porter where we are so much thankful to them for carrying our heavy baggage and thanks to the all the team of the accent Himalaya for making my trip one of the memorable and comfortable trip.

We recently did this trek with the Accent Himalaya company to the Poon hill trek where our trip was tremendous from the day till departure of the trip we were well taken care of this company. This trek I did it with my wife and our 20 years son in a private where all the services was well arranged from the accommodation to food all was properly set up where the services was beyond our expectation.    

The trip was the 8 day trip but we request them to include two days for exploring the Kathmandu city. After successfully completing this trek the next day we explore the city which was filled with lots of interesting sites where our guides takes us to the interesting sites but the most outstanding was the Pashupatinath temple where it was temple and also the cremation sites of Hindus where we got to explore the rituals of Hindus.

The trek was awesome journey with the spectacular scenery but sadly in the middle of the way my son got minor cramp on his legs where he was not able to hike properly due to his pain but thanks to our guide he put some medicine and gave support on his shoulder and we reached at the lodge and properly medicating and thankfully in the morning my son was recovered well and we continue our trekking slowly and reaching the Kathmandu city they took us to the hospital for our son check up of his legs so, thank god it was just a minor sprain,

We are very grateful to the Accent Himalayan team for such kindness and making our trip very special and especially big thanks to the guide and porter for giving total support to my son and making our trip successfully without their support we were not able to accomplish this trek.

I did this trek in solo through the company of the Accent Himalaya which the company was recommend by my closest friend where he had done trekking last year to the EBC through the assist of this company where he told me he was totally satisfied with the services of this company and he told me to booked my trip from this company where without a second thought I immediately emails to the company and discus about my trip where my emails was replied quickly which totally impressed me and the owner planned all the trip and the itinerary as per my wish and was so well arranged to meet all my needs.

When the massive earth quake occur I was there at the Nepal but I had never attempt a trekking to this Himalayan region on that year I came just for a volunteering campaign but never got to do such trekking experience I just only got a time to explore this beautiful Kathmandu city sadly all of the heritage sites were totally destruct and I did not get to capture the best picture as the country was in a shocking situation.

In 2016 I came for my second visit but this time I came for my adventurous trip to the ghorepani poon hill where it was the easiest trek of the Nepal where one can capture the beautiful scenery with the diverse landscapes. The guide provided by this company was very knowledgeable where on the trail he shared with me about the history of Nepal and the Nepali culture and also taught me some few Nepali phrases which were helpful during visiting the local village so, thanks to the team for making such wonderful trip.

Me and my friend decided for this easiest trek and in my entire life I had never done trekking and I have heard from my friends that this place is perfect for doing an adventurous trekking so me and one of my friend decided to move to this beautiful country for our adventurous new experience but in the mean time of the trekking she decided to cancel her trip but I did not cancel it because since it was my childhood dream visiting this Himalayan country and at least attempting one of the easiest trek of the Himalayan region.

I researched a lot about this country and visit some of the websites of the travel company where I came across this Accent Himalaya Company where the company websites was very informative and the price was also fair comparing with the other company. I was a solo traveler where I was bit worried as it was my first visit to this country and I asked for the group where the owner of the company tagged me into the group of seven people where I feel very secure and safe.          

The trip was incredible with the beautiful mountain scenery as travelling in the group was also outstanding each and every member of the group was very supportive and sociable where I did not felt I was left out. As our guide was also very attentive and watchful where he care all the members of the group and make sure that each and every one are enjoying their trip or not and ask if we needed something or not.

Thanks to the team and the owner of the company for making my group trip one of the memorable and especially thanks to the guide and porter who was supportive all the time of our trekking.

I am Neli and together with my boyfriend Philipp we went to Everest Base Camp with the help of Accent Himalaya trekking company. Our guide Bishnu was very friendly and supported us prefectly. He asked us all the time how we feel and when we had a bad high attitude sickness he explain us that we should go to a lower attitude. This was the day after we reached Base camp. We felt that we are in a good hands with him:) The trekk was nice and we did not need to care of anything. It was all well organized. The company owner Nava even came to meet as at the airport as well as to say goodbye in the end. Would book again with Accent Himalaya when we are back for another trekk.

I couldn't be more happy with the experience I get from this trip with Accent Himalaya. We were five in a group and went on this trek mid April. I would recommend going during this time because the weather, as i experienced it, was perfect. It wasn't too cold nor too hot with clear blue sky. The ascend was very enjoyable as we get to pass small villages and see the beautiful mountain ranges clearer as we go high up. The descend I would say was a bit of a challenge if you have some knee problem. But overall I would say it wasn't a too-difficult one. The highlight of the trip was definitely the accomplishment to be on top of Poon Hill, and the reward was amazing. The view of the first light on the peaks of Dhaulagiri was especially spectacular. Mr. Nava - our guide - is very knowledgable about the landscape of the area and never failed to explain to us anything we want to know. Throughout the journey, Accent Himalaya team had been giving us so much joy from their positive attitude. Very good trip indeed.

BK was always there for us.We always felt that we are in safe hands.I highly recommend Accent Himalayas.
