Genel bakış

Başlangıç: KathmanduGeçitler: Kang La11 gün · maks. 5.306 m

En iyi mevsimler: Sep–Nov, Mar–May · İzinler: 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.
