The Annapurna circuit trek via Naar-Phu (Special restricted area) which has been opened only since 2003. and over Khangla Pass Tilicho Lake (the World's highest Lake) and Mesokanto La Pass beginning with a couple of days trekking on the Annapurna circuit trail, we will reach Koto, from where we enter into the restricted area of Nar & Phu Valley in an off the beaten trail where very few trekkers have explored. Passing through narrow canyons and beautiful valleys of the Naar and Phu, where you will be welcomed by surrounded mountains and the untouched beauty of both valleys.
After a couple of days of exploring this exotic landscape with beautiful pine forests, overlooking waterfalls, stunning gorges, and picturesque villages, we cross the Khang La 5,280m, leaving behind Nar Phu, to join the Annapurna circuit trail which is regarded as one of the top 5 treks in the world. Entering the Manang Valley, a Tourists hub;) which feels nice to socialize for a while. Leaving behind the highway of Manang and entering an even more fascinating valley leading to the Grand Barrier which is a massive 7,000m mountain barrier, and to the Tilicho lake “World’s highest lake” at 4,949m. Then we cross the Mesokanto la pass at 5,190m, from the summit it offers breathtaking views of Tilicho Lake and soaring peaks of Annapurna II 7,937m, III 7,555m. Mt. Ganga Purna 7,455m and Mt Manaslu 8,156m range and the Chulus. After crossing the Mesokanto La, we leave the Manang valley and enter another exotic valley of Mustang to end this fascinating dream trek that we take pride in.
