Annapurna Circuit Trek with Nar Phu and Tilicho Overview

A new version of the Annapurna Circuit Trek, which includes the distant valleys of Nar and Phu as well as the high-altitude Tilicho Lake, is something you may be interested in participating in. Trekkers have a unique opportunity to see untouched valleys, untainted Himalayan scenery, and historic Buddhist culture in Nar Phu village, a real hidden gem. Annapurna Circuit with Nar Phu Valley Trek incorporates high mountains, glaciers, canyons, gorges, forests, rock formations, and civilizations that are predominantly Tibetan.

Nar Phu Valley is within the category of a restricted hiking region, thus hikers must obtain a special permit to enter. As a result, by law, Nepalese law requires a permit and trekking guides. The Nar and Phu region of Nepal has a landscape that is reminiscent of Tibet as you stroll through it. You will enjoy the gorgeous views of historic Tibetan cities, amazing rock formations, high-altitude grazing communities, little gorges, dense forests, and breathtaking snow-capped summits during your Nar Phu Valley and Tilicho Lake with Annapurna Circuit Trek. You may explore the quaint Tibetan settlements of Nar and Phu, cross the Kang La Pass, and get to Tilicho Lake in a less beaten-path manner.

Starting from Kathmandu, the Annapurna Circuit - Nar Phu - Tilicho Lake Trek will involve taking a public bus to Besisahar and then a shared 4WD jeep to Dharapani. Your major walk will begin at Dharapani on the route that takes you to Koto, passing via Timang and Bagarchhap. You will begin the trek in Koto and go via Meta, Naar Phedi, Chyakhu, and Kyang to reach the lovely Nar Phu Valley. You will spend the entire day at Nar Phu Valley getting to know the region. You will cross the Kangla Pass on your way back and rejoin the Annapurna Circuit path in Nagwal. Walking slowly leads to Manang from Nagwal. The world's highest-altitude lake, Tilicho Lake, will be your destination after spending an additional day acclimatizing in Manang. You will spend the night at Shree Kharka en route to Tilicho Lake.

You will then return to Shree Kharka and go towards Thorang Phedi through Yak Kharkha and Letdar after taking in the breathtaking views of the mountains around the lake at a height of 4,919 meters. You will next go to the excursion's highest point, Thorang La Pass. You will progressively climb towards Thorang La Pass (5,416m), the highest point of the Annapurna Circuit, and Nar Phu Valley Trek, where the panorama is unimaginable. You can start going downhill before it becomes windy by hanging out at the pass for a long. You will arrive in Muktinath, a revered temple. This temple receives a lot of Hindu and Buddhist visitors. You will hike to Jomsom on your final day of trekking, from where you will take a flight to Pokhara. Your Nar Phu Valley and Tilicho Lake with Annapurna Circuit Trek will conclude after you board the tourist bus from Pokhara to Kathmandu.

This is a very special day for the Annapurna Circuit and Nar Phu Valley Trek because you will see Tilicho Lake. However, you will start your day at Tilicho Base Camp early in order to avoid the afternoon breeze. Due to the steepness of the trail, it will take two to three hours of effort to get to Tilicho Lake, one of the highest lakes in the world. As you move along, yaks and deer will be grazing above and below your path. Tilicho Lake, a large lake with a stunning setting, is located on the other side, hidden behind the north face of Tilicho Peak.

An elite French expedition team referred to Tilicho Lake as "The Great Ice Lake." The three majestic peaks that surround Tilicho Lake are the Tilicho Himal, Annapurna Range, and Nilgiri Himal. The Lake also holds a unique place in Hinduism since it is mentioned in The Ramayan, one of the religion's holiest books.

In Muktinath, there are two small ponds and 108 water taps. Hindus believe that by taking showers from 108 different faucets, you may atone for previous misdeeds.

The trip to Jomsom is much easier than the previous one because most of the paths are downhill.

The trail's final few sections have some steep inclines that make them a little more challenging. The Kali Gandaki River and a windswept valley are reached by ascending the mountains that lead to Jomsom. Jomsom, which serves as the district's administrative hub for the Mustang area, is home to the Thakali people and the traditional salt dealers.

    Annapurna Circuit Trek with Nar Phu and Tilicho Best Time, Season, Months

    • Spring Season (Months of March, April, and May)

    The Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho and Nar Phu is best done in the spring. This is the busiest time of year for trekking in Nepal due to the clear sky and sunny days. Even while temperatures will often be warm, mornings and evenings at higher elevations may be cool. There is currently no rain and the sky is mostly clear. The amount of greenery is particularly abundant at this time of year. The national flower of Nepal, the rhododendron, thrives in lower elevations and is particularly gorgeous. Lower-elevation pine trees will be calming and fragrant, while other wildflowers give a range of hues.

    • Autumn Season (Months of September, October, and November)

    Autumn is a great time to go hiking due to the moderate temperatures, light winds, and few downpours. The sky is clear, the sun is shining brilliantly, and the mountains are beautifully visible. Since the sky is clear at night as well, you may take in the breathtaking starry heavens. By early September, the monsoon will have passed, leaving behind pleasant to warm weather. The golden/amber hues of the monsoon-grown greens provide a stunning contrast with the clear blue skies. In the enclaves, the grains are maturing. The surroundings are unpolluted, and the lowlands are lush.

    Annapurna Circuit Trek with Nar Phu and Tilicho Difficulty Level

    The Annapurna Circuit with Tilicho and Nar Phu is quite challenging. The strenuous level of difficulty of this journey is a result of the route's tremendous elevation. The area's highest pass, Thorung La, is situated along the hiking trail and rises to a height of 5416 meters. This part of the journey is so challenging that it is closed for most of the year due to the extreme cold and heavy snowfall. Additionally, when traveling, you always remain above 3000 meters. Some of the most challenging terrains, which are typically harsh, rocky, and steep, are traversed. Contrary to many other treks, this trek has an unalterable degree of difficulty. Although you have the option to forego some of the pathways, doing so would mean that you would lose out on the highlights of the experience. The only thing a trekker can do to prepare physically and mentally for the journey.

You must have emergency helicopter rescue and medical expense coverage with your insurance if you want to go hiking or mountain climbing in the Himalayas.

      Good companion for trekking

      My guide Ngima Sherpa was effective and knowledgeable about the route, every evening he updates on the terrain for the next day, if it is tough or easy. He is patient and caring,check on my well being every morning, always waiting for me as I was slow. The landscapes are breathtaking and getting to engage with the Tibetan villagers was a bonus.

I would recommend Green valley .

      Annapurna with Nar Phu Valley and Tilicho Lake Trek in August

      In August, I successfully completed my Annapurna with Nar Phu Valley and Tilicho Lake Trek with the aid of Green Valley Nepal Treks. Our guide was fantastic, well-prepared, wonderfully helpful, and knowledgeable, and he accompanied me on my trek. He gave us a tour of Kathmandu after the hike and helped us with the rest of our travel arrangements in Nepal. He came up with some amazing recommendations for things to do and places to eat for us. On the hike, he offered us a glimpse of Nepal's mountain people. Very kind and a great guide for the trek! Strongly advised.

    FAQs

    • Yes, trekkers must have registered the following trekking permits:

      • Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP)
      • Trekker’s Information Management System (TIMS)
      • Nar Phu Valley Special (Restricted) Permit

    • According to your budget, available time, and degree of fitness, we are willing to modify this package. You may either plan a flight from Jomsom airport to Pokhara after crossing the tallest Thorung La pass, or you can book a full circuit through Poonhill, depending on your timetable. Green Valley Nepal Treks has a track record of planning client-specific treks that meet their needs.

    • Without a guide, solo trekkers are not allowed to traverse the Nar Phu Valley. It needs a minimum of two group members and a certified trekking guide. One of the regions of Nepal's vast Himalayas' restricted area is the Nar Phu Valley. As a result, you need to follow the trekking permit instructions. However, it is impossible to trek totally on your own if you don't want to hire a guide.

    • Of course not, you may only utilize in urban areas such as Pokhara and Kathmandu, not on the Trekking route. All you need while traveling outside of the city is cash, preferably in tiny denominations. Before you head to the highlands, kindly exchange your money for local Nepali rupees.

    • Hikers may get Wi-Fi at several guesthouses for a nominal fee. In lower hills, it could function properly, but in the mountains, the connection might not be reliable, making it difficult for hikers to use the internet anytime they need to.

    • You can drink water from a bottle, purified drinking water, or tap water. We advise you to purchase purified refill water from your tea house lodge. Depending on where you are, each refueling may only cost you a little fee. The price rises as you ascend in height.

    • There are no issues at all for vegetarians because lodges often provide vegetarian meals. Additionally, in order to prevent food poisoning, we constantly advise our clients to consume vegetarian meals. High altitude meals that are not vegetarian are unsafe for the stomach.

    • For two trekkers carrying around 25 kg of baggage, Green Valley Nepal Treks will offer one porter (maximum 12 kg for each trekker). Porters are those employees that not only carry your bags but also uplift your spirits. They could put out extra effort to get you to your goal because of your generosity and devotion.

    • The greatest height one can reach while trekking is at Thorong La Pass (5416m), which presents a significant challenge for thrill seekers.

    • The free storage is offered by the hotel in Kathmandu. Thus, you may leave all of your belongings that are not necessary for the walk at your hotel or in our office.
