 We combine two spectacular treks into one
unbeatable journey into 'old Tibet'. Experience the diverse Tibetan
culture, spectacular scenery and snow peaks of the Manaslu Himal
Circuit and the remote, glacial valleys and timeless villages of Nar
and Phu in the upper Manang region.
Manaslu, 'The mountain of the
spirit', is the eighth highest peak in the world, and from upper Nubri must be one of the most beautiful ones. We trek the classic
high trek around Manaslu from the historic town of Gorkha, with its
wonderful 'durbar' or palace to Kutang in lower Manaslu and on to
upper Nubri, where trade with Tibet continues as it has for hundreds
of years.
 The Nar Phu valleys, regions of ethnically-Tibetan
inhabitants, grace us with similarly towering snow-peaks and unique
culture. The trek up to Nar and Phu combines high peaks and passes,
glaciers, remote villages, narrow canyons, lovely forests, amazing
rock formations, yaks, gompas and unique Himalayan cultures. Closed to trekkers until late
2002, very few westerners have explored these virtually untouched
villages or climbed the many 7000m peaks surrounding it. Along with
spending plenty of time at these colorful and timeless villages, we
explore the high alpine valleys above Phu (including Himlung Base
Camp for those who want to), and then from Nar cross the Kang La to
Ngawal on the upper Pisang route leading back into the Annapurna
circuit.
After such a wonderful trek, and now that we are
fully acclimatized, why not continue around the Annapurna Circuit
via the Thorung La pass to Lower Mustang? We fly out of Jomsom to
Pokhara, and then continue on to Kathmandu, truly an unforgettable
journey through Nepal
This
trek is truly 'off-the-beaten-track', and a real adventure! Don't miss this journey around Manaslu and into
remote Nar-Phu!
