We begin the journey towards the Nar Phu Valleys from the third day with a drive from Kathmandu to Chamje. The Nepal Unique Treks and Expeditions divides today's drive into two parts: firstly, Kathmandu to Besisahar, and then from Besisahar to Chamje. We drive to Besisahar via a tourist bus and from there, we take a private jeep to reach Chamje. Why so? Well, because the second section of today's journey is comparatively rugged and less rough.
During today's journey, the trekkers will be taken through several settlements, rivers, bridges, villages, cities, etc. At the beginning of the drive, we can expect a more dense and urban lifestyle. However, as we approach Besisahar, the settlements hide within the forested hills. Moreover, you can also expect to delve deep into the traditional and cultural aspects of this village.
From Besisahar, we take a private jeep to Chamje, which takes another 4 hours to complete. This section of the drive can be a little more challenging, as most of the roads are not well-paved or paved. Besides, we also need to go past some steep downhills and uphills while leaving Besisahar and reaching Chamje. As you reach Chamje, you will find yourself in a picturesque village offering scenic views of mountains and the Marsyangdi River. We will spend today's tonight in Chamje before ascending further on the Nar Phu Valley Trail.

As we leave Chamje and start walking towards Dharapani, we can witness the landscape filled with lush subtropical forests, pristine waterfalls, and, of course, steep rocky trails made by humans by carving on the hills.
On our way, we also have to cross the Marsyangdi river by a suspension bridge, which itself stands as one of the adventurous things to do in the trekking regions of Nepal. After that, we pass through some amazing villages like Tal, the first village of the Manang district. All of the villages that we cross from now on offer outstanding and pleasant views of the mountains, while also helping us delve deeper into the remote lifestyle and culture. Ascending through some stone staircases, passing through pine forests, and walking side-by-side on the terraced farms, we finally reach Dharapani after 6 hours.
As you reach here, we recommend the trekkers to freshen up and utilize the rest of the time exploring the villages. In the evening, you can see children playing, cattle returning to their farms, and people gathering around to talk. Besides, you can also enjoy a sunset view before dinner and an overnight stay in Dharapani.

From Dharapani, the Nar Phu Valley Trekking trail leads towards Koto, another scenic village of the Manang district. This village, located at an altitude of 2600 meters above sea level, offers occasional glimpses of the snow-capped Annapurna mountain range. Other than that, you can also expect the locals to offer you warm hospitality and deliciously prepared local cuisine.
Talking about this section of the trek to Nar and Phu valleys, the trail follows the Marsyangdi River upstream, passing through the traditional villages of Bagarchhap, Danaque, and Timang. In all of the villages that we cross today, the trekkers can see mani walls, prayer wheels, and stone houses that reflect the region’s Tibetan cultural influence. As you ascend to almost the half of today's trek, outstanding views of the Lamjung Himal (6,983 meters) and Annapurna II (7,937 meters) catch your attention.
We will arrive in the Koto village by early afternoon, where you can sense a different, more pleasant type of peace, calmness, and serenity. These villages, sitting between the Nar Khola and the Marsyangdi rivers, always have the sound of the river flowing echoed. Besides, Koto is also labeled as the gateway to the Nar Phu Valley, and this is also the point from which we begin a walk on the off-the-beaten path.

As you wake up on the sixth day and have your breakfast in the hotel, you have a new section of the Nar Phu Valley Trek to cover. Today we will walk for about 8 hours and ascend to an altitude of 3230 meters above sea level. Walking for such long hours certainly won't be easy. Therefore, we recommend the trekkers to be well-prepared. This section of the trek takes us through a narrow path beside the Nar Khola (river). Furthermore, the trail also passes through dense pine forests, cascading waterfalls, and prayer-flag-draped chortens nestled into the cliffs.
As you keep ascending, you will gradually enter the off-the-beaten-path section of the Nar Phu Valley Trekking trail. Slowly and gradually, we rise in altitude, which means the walk starts getting more demanding. However, the alpine landscape also makes the walk more rewarding. Yes, just watch the landscape shift from forested slopes to more rugged, alpine terrain, revealing glimpses of snow-dusted peaks and barren cliffs. Once you reach Meta, a beautifully settled plateau village, surrounded by crumbling stone walls and grazing yak herds.
Take your time to stroll around the village, interact with the locals, and try some local delicacies before having your dinner and sleeping.

On the seventh day, we finally reach the highly awaited Phu Village, located at an altitude of 4050 meters above sea level. This isolated village, with its medieval architecture, centuries-old Tashi Lhakhang Monastery, and time-honoured way of life, offers an authentic taste of Tibetan culture untouched by modernity.
Talking about the trail from Meta to Phu Village, it gradually ascends through an arid, high-altitude landscape and scattered remnants of old Tibetan settlements. Furthermore, the trail also passes through some traditional Khampa herders’ shelters and picturesque mani walls. In the final stretch of this section of the Nar Phu Valley Trekking map, we will cross several suspension bridges, the best part of trekking in Nepal. In a little while, you start seeing the secluded Phu village.
Besides, in the evening, you can come out of your hotel rooms and stroll around the village. See the children playing, people gathering around to have some quick chit chats, and other people doing their regular chores. After that, you can return to the hotel for a fulfilling dinner before heading for a relaxing sleep in the Phu village.

Did you realize that we are currently at an altitude of 4,050 meters above sea level? From here, you will sense a decrease in oxygen level and an increase in the risk of altitude sickness. For that reason and to explore the Phu village, the eighth day will be an acclimatization day or excursion day. Wake up early in the morning, have your breakfast, and then we will go for a quick excursion to the Phu village.
In the morning, we will walk around the narrow stone-paved alleys of the village, observing the daily chores of locals. After that, the Nepal Unique Treks & Expeditions' guides take you for a visit to the Tashi Lakhang Monastery. This beautiful, sacred, and significant monastery sits peacefully at an altitude of 4150 meters above sea level. Other than experiencing the peace and delving deep into the religious charm of the monastery area, you can also enjoy some mesmerizing views of the panoramic village below.
The Tashi Lakhang Monastery is believed to be the oldest and most sacred monastery in the region. Besides, this monastery also holds immense spiritual significance, having been blessed by the revered 8th-century tantric master Guru Rinpoche. Regardless of which day you choose to visit the Tashi Lakhang Monastery, you will always see Gurus performing rituals and puja. Besides the monastery itself, the trekkers can also sit quietly in the halls of the Monastery. The pleasant scent of juniper incense mingling with the hum of chanting monks takes you to a world of peace and calmness.

The Nar village stands as another significant checkpoint in the Nar Phu Valley Trekking map, settled at an altitude of 4150 meters above sea level. It takes about 7 to 8 hours for us to walk to cover this section. Besides, this section of the trail also goes through a less-trodden route.

Eventually, the trails become gentler and start getting lined with juniper bushes and stone-built villages. Gradually, the trekkers can feel the air getting thicker and the surroundings becoming greener.

The best seasons to go for the Nar Phu Valley Trek are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to early December).
Both of these seasons are perfect for Trekking in Nepal due to clear skies, spectacular mountain views, and longer daylight hours. Besides, if you trek in any of these seasons, you can also expect stable weather and, not to mention, the excellent visibility of sky-towering mountains. Moreover, Nepal also celebrates some major festivals like Dashain and Tihar in the autumn season, adding a rich cultural flavour to the experience. One of the best things is that ascending to the highest point, the Kang La Pass 5306m, also becomes comparatively easy and pleasant. That is because these regions experience comparatively less snowfall than in comparison to the winter season.
If you seek a little extra adventure and thrill, you can also book the Nar Phu Valley Trek during the winter season. However, in winter, you must be ready to face some heavy snowfall and very slippery trails. Besides, you might also not get proper views as the weather remains foggy throughout the day. In contrast, trekking in the summer can again be difficult because of the burning sun rays. Moreover, the Nar Phu valley trek might also experience rainfall, making it strenuous for the trekkers to ascend the trail.
The Nar Phu Valley Trek is considered moderately challenging to strenuous. However, the difficulty level of this trek also depends highly on how to train and practice for the walk. Let us tell you that this trek demands stamina and endurance. The trekkers need to walk for 6 to 9 hours on average every day through some remote and rugged trails and high-altitude crossings. Ascending to the Kangla Pass marks the most difficult part of the entire Nar Phu Valley Trekking itinerary.
Besides, the trekkers also spend a few days above an altitude of 4,000 meters above sea level. Therefore, we recommend you be cautious about altitude sickness. Some sections involve steep ascents and descents, rocky paths, and narrow ridgelines. Moreover, you will also get exposed to high passes, all requiring sure-footedness and a good level of physical fitness. Nevertheless, with proper preparation and timely acclimatization, the trail certainly becomes more of an adventure than difficult or strenuous.
As the Nar Phu Valley Trek is considered to be moderately difficult to challenging, the trekkers must prepare very well for this package.

Mental Preparation: As this trekking route takes us through some of the most remote conditions with basic facilities, you must also be mentally prepared for that. We recommend the trekkers to go for meditation to be mentally fit and yoga for flexibility.
Altitude Acclimatization: Participating in the Nar Phu Valley trail means ascending over 5000 meters above sea level. This level of altitude also increases the risk of altitude sickness. Therefore, you must plan acclimatization properly to stay safe from the chances of altitude sickness and related health issues. Also, remember to keep yourself as hydrated as possible.
Logistics: Hiring a proper and government-approved trekking agency with a valid license is mandatory for the Nar Phu Valley Trekking journey. Besides, you must also arrange all the permits before ascending the trail to ensure safety and a secure trekking experience.
