Nar Phu Valley trekking is suitable in Spring (March-May) and in Autumn (September-November). The weather is moderate and the sky is clear in these months which is too good for spectacular views of the Mountains.
Nar Phu Valley trekking is an off-the-beaten trek which is a strenuous one. The physically fit trekkers can attempt this trek since it involves high passes and trekking in high altitudes.
Kang la pass is the highest point of this trekking which is 5240m high from sea level.
Nar Phu Valley trekking is a preserved area that needs special trekking permits which is possible only when you have a trekking agency and a guide. We highly recommend guided trekking that ensures your safety and comfort.
Accommodation is available in a typical tea house which is a basic standard. We cannot expect it as in big cities. So, we recommend carrying your own sleeping bag.
Altogether there are three different permits needed for Nar Phu Valley trekking. Special trekking permits from the Nepal government, immigration office, TIMS (Trekkers' Information Management System), and ACAP (Annapurna Conservation Area Project) permits to go on the Nar Phu Valley trekking.
