Embark on the side of the Annapurna that has not yet been touched by mass tourism, compared to its neighbor, the Annapurna Circuit Trek.

Beschreibung der Reise

This region is hidden between the mountain passes and away from the trails frequented by trekkers. The Nar Phu Valley is a pearl of nature, still intact and untouched. North of the Annapurna Circuit, in the Gurung settlement, time has stopped here in the shadows of Himlung, Gangapurna, Annapurna II, and other mighty peaks. This is an authentic trek, a mixture of nature and encounters far away from the crowds.
