 This
is probably the best trek of Annapurna region and for
those who want to explore hidden valley and trek off the
beaten crossing through Challenging high passes like Masokanto
La (5099m), Kangla pass (5200m) & Tilicho Pass (5230m)
with beautiful Lake Tilicho.
Hidden by swirls of mountain mist
ahead of us, from Kangla pass at 5200m the magnificent
panorama view of Annapurna massif appears remote and forbidding.
Our destination is the Nar-Phu valley, above the tree
line on the upper limits of cultivation, in the very north
of Manang district. It takes five hours reaching the pass
that links Nar with Manang and three other Bhotia villages
in the Nyershang down valley.
Nowadays, Nar Phu has about 300 inhabitants who depend
on livestock, unlike most Bhotia people, whose trading
patterns changed drastically after the Nepali Government
closed borders with Tibet, the people of Nar and Phu valley
were least affected by this change. The tortuous path
leading from the valley into Tibet had never made them
dependent on the salt trade, and till today yak herding
is the basis of their livelihood.The Nepal government''''s
recent decision to open up Nar and Phu to tourists has
evoked little enthusiasm among the villagers, whose pastoral
lifestyle continues. Apart from the odd researcher and
climbing expeditions permitted to climb Him lung, Ratnachuli
and Gachikang, few foreigners has visited the area and
tourism infrastructure is almost non-existent. Since Annapurna
Conservation Area Project (ACAP) recently extended its
network to include Nar and Phu Valley, it is preparing
a suitable tourism development plan at the request of
the government for undiscovered valley.We start this trek
after driving almost whole day from Kathmandu to Besishar.
From here we follow Pupular Annapurna Circuit route until
Koto and then we take off the beaten trails until we get
Nar Phu. After visiting this area we trek back to manang,
a beautiful village of Annapurna trail and continue trek
to Tilicho route. After trekking about 5 days through
Tilicho Lake and two beautiful but challenging pass of
this region we end our trek at Jomsom where we catch our
flight to Pokhara and later to Kathmanmdu
