Descending from the Tibetan Border to Koto on the Annapurna Circuit, the newly accessible valley of the Naar-Phu Khola is one of the most exciting trekking destinations in Nepal. Spending 9 days exploring this lost Buddhist region, we trek as far as the remote stone-built village of Phu, whose inhabitants continue to trade across the border. We then turn off 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, we have simply fantastic views of the Annapurnas, before dropping down to the stunning monastery at Braga. To reach the airstrip at Jomsom in the Kali Gandaki Valley, we then follow a scenic and rarely-used trail which leads via Tilicho Lake and the Tilicho Pass. You can be amongst the first to visit this untouched corner of Nepal.
This challenging new trip explores the remote valleys of Naar and Phu before crossing a high pass to Manang on the Annapurna Circuit. From here we head off the beaten track again, climbing to Tilicho Lake before crossing a little-trekked pass across the Muktinath Himal to reach Jomsom in the Kali Gandaki valley. This trek is considerably harder than the Annapurna Circuit and will involve some steep ascents and descents and some exposed sections of trail as we travel through the gorges of the Naar-Phu Kola. We have graded this trip at the highest level within our DEMANDING grade.
