KE Adventure

• An exciting new trek north of the Annapurnas
• The isolated settlement of Phu
• Annapurna views from the Kang La
• Fly back to Kathmandu from Hongde

Descending from the Tibetan Border to Chame on the Annapurna Circuit, the newly accessible valley of the Naar-Phu Khola is one of the most exciting trekking destinations in Nepal. We spend 9 days exploring this lost Buddhist region, trekking northwards as far as the remote stone-built village of Phu, whose inhabitants continue to trade across the border. Retracing our steps only briefly, we then turn off westwards into a broad and rocky tributary valley, passing numerous chortens, mani walls and unusual gateways en route to Naar. Climbing to cross the Kang La (5306m) at the head of this valley, the views of the arrayed peaks of the Annapurnas are nothing short of breathtaking. After an abrupt descent to the Marsyangdi River, we take a flight back to Kathmandu from the airstrip at Hongde. You can be amongst the first to visit this untouched corner of Nepal!
