Here's Helen Thompson's Nar Phu Valley Trekking Experience Story that might interest you too!
Recommended by The Sherpa Trekking Company, I was so excited to finally embark on my Nar Phu Valley trek, an adventure around the Annapurna Region that'd take me to off-the-grid terrain and faraway villages.
My journey began in Kathmandu where I was warmly welcomed to Nepal with friendly locals and beautiful sights. After taking some time to explore the city, I started to make my way to Besi Sahar, with my trusty guide leading the way.
The trek really began in Bahundanda, where we trekked up to the high-altitude Tal. From there, I got some incredible views of Manang Valley and the various glaciers around us. The trek got ever more breathtaking in Bagarchap as we trekked through pristine alpine forests and up to Kotho. From then on, we passed by Meta, Kyang, and Phu village, where I was able to take in the stunning backdrop of the Himalayas.
On day nine, I had time to explore the impressive Phu village, including its ancient monasteries and gompas. I jumped back on my feet to keep trekking on day 10 to Mahendra Pool, followed up by a trek to Nar Village and then on to Khangla Base Camp.
The next few days took me to some truly special sights. From increasing altitude to the frozen alpine forests of Khangla Pass, I stopped in Nawal and Manang for some insight into their vibrant cultures. The trek then took me on a journey through spectacular landforms, from Tilicho Lake to Mesaokanta Pass and Kharka.
Finally, I made it to Jomsom, where I flew back to Pokhara, and eventually returned to Kathmandu, having completed one of the most extraordinary and eye-opening experiences of my life.
The Nar Phu Valley Trek managed to exceed all of my expectations in every way and I can't thank my guide enough for showing me the beauty of rural Nepal. Trekking through the Annapurna Region was a unique adventure that immersed me in magnificent Himalayan landscapes, Buddhist monasteries, and ancient villages off the beaten path. I'm so grateful to have been able to experience this life-changing journey.
Thanks for reading.
