Nar Phu Valley trek is one of the less tourist camping trekking areas of Nepal. For this trek, we need a special permit from the government as this Nar and Phu village is recognized very lately. Which is normal to hard trekking with different passes, Nar Phu Valley trekking is in the Annapurna region but it's a different way of trekking. But it's a fascinating and challenging trek.
Nowadays, Nar Phu has a population of about 300 inhabitants who depend on livestock, unlike most Boatia people, whose trading patterns changed drastically after the Nepali Government closed its borders with Tibet, the people of Nar and Phu valley were the least affected by this change. The winding path leading from the valley into Tibet had never made them dependent on the salt trade, and till today yak herding is the basis of their livelihood. Nar Phu Valley trek passes through the ancient villages of the Nar Phu valley, allowing visitors to spectator its age-old Nepalese/Tibetan culture.
A fantastic journey in a wild and unexplored area located north of Annapurna; the Nar Phu Valley is perfect for travelers who want to discover the Annapurna circuit as well as explore an untouched valley. It is a rough and wild trek that takes you to the exotic Nar Phu valley which lies in the remote corner of the Annapurna region. Opened for the visitors only in the year 2003; the Nar Phu valley remains untouched by modernity. The inhabitants, who roughly comprise about 350 Nepalese Tibetans, have retained their age-old practices. Most of them are engaged in yak herding and farming.
The Nar Phu Valley Trek is a peaceful hiking path in the Annapurna area, based on the Tea House in the remote Himalayas off the Beaten Path, Unique Tibetan culture with spectacular views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Machhapuchhre, Lamjung Himal, Tilicho peak, and other peaks. The hike begins at Bhulbhule and leads to Nar and Phu villages through a beautiful trail, it may sound difficult, but the fact is Nar Phu Valley is one of the parts of the restricted area of Nepal's great Himalayas. Nar Phu Valley is also approached from North West from Mustang through the high pass at Teri La Pass 5595m (about 3.48 mi)) Trek and Saribung La.
