The Nar-Phu and Tilicho trek has been opened to tourists since 2003. This trek is considered to be one of the best trekking routes for admiring the northern majestic flanks of the Annapurna range, and satellite peaks such as Pisang, Chulu and Tilicho peak. It is a very interesting but challenging alternative to the classic trek around the Annapurnas. It goes through a variety of landscapes: lovely forests, narrow canyons, remote villages, amazing rock formations, glaciers, high summits and finally across rugged passes. Being in the high country, you will witness the serene Buddhist Himalayan culture and encounter superb monasteries, mani walls, chortens and yak herds.

From Besisahar to Koto, the trek takes the same route as the classic Annapurna Circuit. In Koto, we leave the main route and enter the very deep, hemmed-in, narrow valley leading to Nar and Phu. The trail goes through beautiful bamboo and pine forests along the Nar Khola, which it crosses several times.

It passes old Khampa settlements like Meta, Chyak and Kyang, sometimes through juniper bushes. After Kyang we follow the Phu Khola canyon to the very remote village to Phu. It takes about three days walks from Koto to Phu. Phu is a beautiful medieval village, where the lifestyle of the Bhote communities who can be observed. High above the Phu citadel outcrop is Tashi monastery, with a fabulous panoramic view of Kang Guru and the northern trail to Damodar and Saribung.
