Nar Phu Valley and Kang La Pass

The Kang La Pass Nar Phu Trek offers a rare glimpse into a region characterized by raw beauty and Tibetan culture that takes you back to a bygone era. This area is a living museum where children receive their education through Buddhist texts that are from very old times. And the historical Tashi Lhakhang Gompa stands as a testament to their region’s rich spiritual heritage. Trekkers can receive blessings from Lama Karma Sonam Rinpoche, adding a deeply spiritual meaning to traveling and making their journey safer.

The Cultural and Natural Highlights

The trek to the Nar Phu Valley is a journey through both cultural and natural gems. The valley is home to the ancient villages of Nar and Phu, which are very stunning and natural, with absolutely gorgeous landscapes. These villages offer a unique opportunity to experience the traditional culture and unique daily life of the locals, which are very far and untouched by modernity. The ancient monasteries, prayer flags fluttering in the wind, and the sounds of monks chanting create an atmosphere that creates a feeling of joy and peace which is unforgettable in life.

The natural beauty of the region is capable of attracting and holding the interest of anyone who experiences it. The trail offers phenomenal views of snow-capped peaks which shine just like gold when while sun hits those peaks, and look just like silver in the bright light of the moon at night. And with opportunities to see rare wildlife such as the elusive snow leopard and blue sheep, and many other wildlife which can only be found in the peaks of Nepal.

The Challenge and Rewards of Kang La Pass Trek

The Kang La Pass trek is more challenging than the Thorong La Pass, with narrower trails and steep ascents. However, the spectacular views of Annapurna III, Gangapurna, Tilicho, Manaslu, Himlung, and Saribung Peaks make the effort worthwhile and make you glad that you made that decision. Phu Village, situated at the junction of three passes—Teri La Pass, Saribung Pass via Upper Mustang, and Kang La Pass via Ngawel Manang—offers a unique cultural experience which is very rare because it is a very different part of Nepal, which is untouched by modern society. The innocent people who look happy to see new people in their society will definitely make your journey worthwhile.

Tharong La pass and Muktinath

After crossing one of the highest passes (Throng La Pass 5,416m), you will reach Mukinath. Mukinath is one of the biggest religious places for both tourists and the Nepali people because Nepal is a very religious country where 81.19% of people are Hindu in Nepal. Not only Hindus but also Buddhist people visit this place for the peace and warm experience. From Muktinath, we take a shared Jeep to Jomsom and fly back to Pokhara. Our trek ends in Pokhara because most of the trekkers want to spend a few extra days in Pokhara after the trek, but because our trek ends in Pokhara, we don’t take any responsibility for any of the activities of trekkers that as our contract ends in Pokhara. But on request, we can arrange the trip from Pokhara to Kathmandu as well.
