Gambaran keseluruhan
Bermula dari KathmanduLaluan gunung: Kang La11 hari · maks 5,306 m
Musim terbaik: Sep–Nov, Mar–May · Permit: Nar Phu restricted area permit (Department of Immigration, via a registered agency), Annapurna Conservation Area entry permit, TIMS card where required
The Nar Phu Valley trek is an 11-day loop through a remote restricted valley on the north side of the Annapurna range, in Manang District. It drives from Kathmandu to Besisahar and on to Koto, climbs through the Nar Phu gorge to Meta, Kyang and Phu, crosses to Nar, and returns over the Kang La at about 5,306 m to Ngawal and Manang, before the drive back. The route covers about 82 km on foot with large daily climbs and a gain of about 7,000 m according to the elevation model, so it is a hard trek. The valley is a restricted area inside the Annapurna Conservation Area, so you need a Restricted Area Permit through a registered agency, the conservation area permit and a licensed guide. The best months are September to November, and March to May. It suits fit trekkers who want Tibetan culture and a quiet valley and can handle a high pass.
What the trek is like
The trail leaves the Marsyangdi valley at Koto and enters a steep gorge of cliffs and pine forest, crossing bridges high above the Nar Phu Khola. After Meta the valley opens, and the villages of Kyang and Phu appear, with stone houses, chortens and fields at about 4,100 m. Phu has an old monastery and a view of Himlung Himal. The trail then crosses to Nar, a larger village with a gompa, and climbs to the Kang La, from which views of the Annapurna range open. The descent to Ngawal reaches the main Annapurna Circuit trail, and the last day follows it to Manang.
Highlights
- Phu village and Phu Gompa, with old Tibetan-style houses and chortens
- Nar village and its monastery
- The Nar Phu gorge, a deep, narrow canyon of cliffs and waterfalls
- The Kang La, with views of Annapurna II, Annapurna IV and Gangapurna
- Blue sheep, and possible snow leopard signs on the high slopes
Permits and rules
The Nar Phu valley is a restricted area. You need a Restricted Area Permit from the Department of Immigration, issued through a registered agency, an Annapurna Conservation Area entry permit and a TIMS card where required. A licensed guide must accompany you. Reports of a March 2026 notice say individual foreigners may apply, but the permit still needs an agency and a guide. Fees and day counts have changed more than once, so ask the agency for the current amounts and check them with the Department of Immigration. Carry several copies of your passport and permits for check posts.
Best season
September to November have the clearest weather, and March to May are possible, but the Kang La may hold snow in early spring. The monsoon is wetter on the south side and quieter in this rain-shadow valley, but landslides can block the road. Winter is very cold, with heavy snow on the pass.
Altitude
The plan sleeps at Meta (about 3,560 m), Phu (about 4,080 m, with a rest day) and Nar (about 4,110 m, with a rest day), before the Kang La at about 5,306 m. The pass day gains about 1,100 m and descends about 1,600 m, so it is long and tiring. Watch for headache, nausea and poor sleep, never ascend with symptoms, and descend if they worsen. Discuss altitude medicine with your doctor.
Getting there and away
Drive from Kathmandu to Besisahar (6 to 7 hours) and continue by jeep along the Marsyangdi road to Koto, about 6 to 7 hours more. The return from Manang to Besisahar by jeep takes 8 to 9 hours on a rough road, followed by the drive to Kathmandu. Landslides can cause delays, so keep a spare day.
Lodges, food and costs
Simple lodges and homestays operate in Meta, Kyang, Phu and Nar, with dal bhat, noodles, tsampa and tea. Facilities are basic, and some agencies carry tents and a cook for flexibility. Prices rise with altitude, and you should bring cash for the whole trek, because there are no machines beyond Besisahar and Manang.
Packing list
Broken-in boots, waterproof layers, a down jacket, a sleeping bag rated to about minus 15 C, gloves, hat, sunglasses, sun cream, gaiters, trekking poles, a headlamp, water purification and a first-aid kit. A pair of microspikes can help on the Kang La if snow lies.
Who this trek suits and how to prepare
The trek suits fit trekkers who like culture and remote valleys and are comfortable with long days at altitude. Prepare with hill walks, stair training and some days with a loaded pack. The pass day of about 15 km needs good stamina.
The plan at a glance
Days 1 and 2 drive to Besisahar and Koto. Days 3 and 4 walk to Meta and Phu, with a rest day on day 5. Day 6 walks to Nar and day 7 is a rest day. Day 8 crosses the Kang La to Ngawal and day 9 walks to Manang. Days 10 and 11 drive to Besisahar and Kathmandu.
Extensions
From Manang you can continue over the Thorong La to Muktinath and Jomsom on the Annapurna Circuit, which adds about a week. Others add a side trip to Tilicho Lake or a day at Manang, or combine the trek with a short stay in Pokhara.
Practical tips from the trail
- Walking times in the day plan are estimates from distance and climb, checked against operator itineraries; real times differ with pace, load and weather.
- Start early on the Kang La day, with food, water and warm layers.
- Check the snow with your guide before leaving Nar.
- Keep a spare day for the Marsyangdi road.
- Respect monasteries and walk clockwise around chortens.
- Carry cash in small notes, as villages have no machines.
Responsible trekking
Take rubbish out, use filtered water, buy from local families and respect the valley's customs. Do not give sweets or money to children.
Sorotan

Continue by jeep from Besisahar up the Marsyangdi valley to Koto at about 2,600 m, about 6 to 7 hours on a rough road, passing Syange, Tal, Dharapani and Chame as the scenery turns from subtropical to alpine. Koto is a small village near the junction of the Nar Phu Khola and the entrance to the restricted valley, with a checkpost where your permits are inspected. Spend the afternoon resting and preparing, because the trail begins tomorrow. The air is cool. Keep a warm layer handy because the valley is cooler than Besisahar.
Anda tidur 960 m lebih tinggi daripada malam sebelumnya, melebihi garis panduan biasa 500 m. Berjalan perlahan, minum banyak air dan perhatikan sakit kepala atau loya.
A long first walking day from Koto to Meta at about 3,560 m, about 16 km, taking 8 to 9 hours. The trail enters the Nar Phu gorge, climbing and dropping along cliffs above the river on narrow paths and bridges, with pine forest and waterfalls. The elevation model shows large ups and downs in the gorge. Carry lunch and water, and keep a steady pace. Meta is a small village of stone houses where you spend the night. Drink water regularly and avoid walking directly under loose rock.
Anda tidur 520 m lebih tinggi daripada malam sebelumnya, melebihi garis panduan biasa 500 m. Berjalan perlahan, minum banyak air dan perhatikan sakit kepala atau loya.
Walk from Meta to Phu at about 4,080 m via Kyang, about 18 km with a climb of 1,200 m, taking 7 to 8 hours. The valley opens as you leave the forest, with views of cliffs, chortens and the first Tibetan-style stone houses. Kyang is a seasonal herders' settlement, and Phu is a village on a terrace with an old monastery and a view of Himlung Himal. Watch for symptoms of altitude sickness, drink plenty of water and rest early. Pace yourself, because the altitude is the highest of the trek so far.
A rest and acclimatisation day at Phu. Visit Phu Gompa and walk through the village's lanes of stone houses and chortens, taking an easy hike up the valley toward the Himlung Himal base camp trail, returning by the afternoon. The aim is to sleep at the same height as the day before, and to let your body adapt. Respect the monastery, ask before taking photographs and walk clockwise around the chortens. Rest, eat well and drink water. Use the quiet day to dry gear and check your pass plan.
Walk from Phu to Nar at about 4,110 m, about 21 km with 1,400 m of climbing and 1,270 m of descent, taking 8 to 10 hours. The trail follows the valley back to the junction below Phu, then climbs on a high path to Nar, a larger village with a gompa and stone houses. It is a long day, so carry lunch and water, and keep a steady pace. The views of cliffs and peaks are fine, and Nar's lodges are welcome after the long walk.
A rest day at Nar. Walk through the village and visit the gompa, then take an easy hike up the slopes toward the Kang La base for views of the valley and the Annapurna range, returning by the afternoon. The aim is to rest and let your body adapt before the pass. Check your gear, charge power banks if the lodge has solar power and talk to your guide about the weather and snow on the Kang La. Eat well and drink water.
The pass day. From Nar climb to the Kang La at about 5,306 m and descend to Ngawal at about 3,660 m, about 15 km with 1,100 m of climbing and 1,630 m of descent, taking 6 to 8 hours or more. Start before dawn, carry lunch, water and warm layers, and move steadily. The pass has views of Annapurna II, Annapurna IV and Gangapurna, and the descent is steep and long. Ngawal sits on the main Annapurna trail. Rest and eat well.
A short walk from Ngawal to Manang at about 3,540 m via Humde, about 12 km, taking 3.5 to 5 hours. The route joins the Annapurna Circuit trail, passing Humde and the airstrip, with views of the Annapurna range and Gangapurna Lake. Manang is a busy village with bakeries, shops, a Himalayan Rescue Association aid post and lodges. Use the afternoon to rest, shower, wash clothes and enjoy a bakery treat. You may meet Annapurna Circuit trekkers. Keep your passport and permit copies in your hand luggage.
Drive from Manang to Besisahar, about 8 to 9 hours by jeep on a rough road down the Marsyangdi valley, passing Chame, Dharapani and Syange. The scenery changes from alpine to subtropical as you descend. Leave early and carry water and snacks, because the road can be slow in places and landslides can cause delays. Besisahar has hotels, hot showers and restaurants, a welcome change after the trek. Rest and celebrate your crossing. Keep a warm layer for the cooler early morning start.
Anda tidur 640 m lebih tinggi daripada malam sebelumnya, melebihi garis panduan biasa 500 m. Berjalan perlahan, minum banyak air dan perhatikan sakit kepala atau loya.
Drive from Besisahar to Kathmandu, about 6 to 7 hours along the Marsyangdi valley and the Prithvi Highway. Leave early to arrive in the afternoon, and keep a spare day in the schedule in case landslides block the road. Back in the hotel, shower, repack and celebrate with a good dinner. Tip your guide and porters according to your agency's guidelines, and enjoy the memory of a trek through one of Nepal's most remote and culturally rich valleys. Keep your passport and permit copies in your hand luggage.
