NARPHU VALLEY TREK |
|
For Himalayan addicts
only! The Nar and Phu valleys are newly
opened, spectacular regions of
ethnically Tibetans inhabitants for
those of you that think you trekked all.
This is a trek that combines high peaks
and passes, glaciers, remote villages,
narrow canyons, lovely forests, amazing
rock formations, yaks, gompas and unique
Himalayan cultures. Trekking the
standard Annapurna circuit, the bridge
leading over the Maryland River to the
steep portals of the Nar/Phu valley
system is easily missed, but although
the entrances is narrow and forested,
the valley system above opens up to a
huge expanse of high snow-peaks, ancient
villages and high altitude grazing
settlements. Two long days of walking
from the border of Tibet, Tilman first
explored this region in 1950s. Closed to
trekkers until late 2002, very few
westerners have explored these virtually
untouched villages or climbed the many
7000-meters peak surrounded it. We will
venture into this remote region of Upper
Manang. |
