Discover the hidden valley of Nar Phu along the "off the beaten path" crossing through challenging high passes of Kang La, Meso Kanto and visiting the World highest lake Tilicho. Nar Phu Valley is a wild and unexplored Tibetan villages located north of Annapurna which is restricted area and newly opened for the trekkers only since 2003.This trek is perfect for travelers who want to explore the Annapurna area as well as explore an untouched valley. This trek takes you to the exotic Nar Phu valley that lies in the remote corner of the Annapurna region.The Nar Phu valley remains untouched by modernity.Trekking in the area is unlike most of Nepal as the terrain is Trans Himalayan and similar to that of Tibet. Trails are rugged and at times cut high into side of the cliff, in an area that has changed little over the years. We spend a number of days exploring the region and visit the remote villages of Nar and Phu, as well as crossing the Kang La Pass(5310m) which offers fantastic views of the Annapurna massif, Lamjung Himal, Machhapuchhre Himal and Manaslu Himal. Then another attraction is the worlds highest lake Tilicho and trek over Meso Kanto pass(5099m).
