The Nar Phu Valley is a remote region of Nepal that few trekkers reach (a restricted permit is needed and a guide), falling between the Manaslu region to the East and the Annapurna region to the West. With a Tibetan / Buddhist culture, the local people are known for their friendliness and the landscape is adorned by colourful prayer flags, stone carvings and old monasteries. There are panoramic views of Annapurna II, Himlung Himal, Gangapurna Himal, Tilicho Peak, among others. The route takes us through Phu, an intriguing fortified village, Nar, the highest village in Nepal and to the high pass of Kang-la at 5320m.
