Can You Trek Naar Phu Valley Solo?
Solo trekking in Naar Phu Valley? Nope, not allowed. But that’s good news, because it means you’ll be part of a group, sharing the journey with like-minded adventurers. To enter this restricted area, you’ll need a special permit (don’t worry, we’ve got that covered), and you’ll have to be with at least one other trekker.
Pro Tip: If you’re traveling solo, don’t worry—we’ll match you up with others who share your love for adventure and the mountains.
Our Favorite Naar Phu Trek Itinerary
Here’s a sneak peek of how we do it, based on the full camping treks I’ve guided before:
Day 1: Arrive in Kathmandu—after a long flight, you’ll need rest, and we’ll help you get settled in. Day 2: This day is all about getting ready. We’ll handle the permits, and gear checks, and maybe even stop by the local shops for a little yak cheese (because why not, right?). Day 3–17: The real adventure begins! You’ll trek from Dharapani to Naar, Phu, and over the mighty Kang La Pass. There’s no rush—each day will bring something new and exciting as you take in stunning views and connect with nature. Day 18: It’s time to head home, filled with memories, sore legs, and a camera full of epic shots.

Why Naar Phu? It’s the Ultimate Trekker’s Dream
Why pick Naar Phu for your adventure? Let me tell you—it’s not just the views (though they’re pretty mind-blowing). Imagine looking up at Annapurna II and Pisang Peak, walking through deep gorges, and exploring villages that feel like they’ve been frozen in time. The air here is crisp and pure, like a breath of fresh adventure!
But honestly, it’s the people that make the trek special. The locals in Naar and Phu are some of the friendliest folks you’ll ever meet. When I did the full camping trek there, we shared laughs, stories, and unforgettable nights around the campfire.
But don’t just take my word for it—check out the pictures from my last trek. Trust me, they’ll give you all the feels.
How Hard Is the Trek?
This trek is a challenge—but trust me, it’s totally doable! If you’ve ever trekked with me before, you know I’m all about pacing. We’ll take it one step at a time, with plenty of breaks, dal bhat (my personal favorite!), and some high-altitude tips along the way.
You’ll be crossing the famous Kang La Pass at 5,320 meters, which will push you to your limits. But with the right mindset, it’s a journey that’ll leave you feeling unstoppable.
Pro Tip: The pass can be icy and windy, so we start early to beat the weather and catch the sunrise. The views from the top are worth every step.
Full Camping Trek: What We Offer
Now, let’s talk about camping. Last October, I led a full camping trek with a fantastic group, and it was the kind of adventure you’ll never forget. Imagine waking up to the Himalayan sunrise, stretching your legs after a long day of trekking, and sitting down to a warm meal by the campfire with your fellow trekkers. That’s what we offer.
On a camping trek, we set up tents at cozy, safe spots away from the crowds. The food is hearty, the atmosphere is friendly, and every night feels like an adventure of its own.
As an IFMGA-certified guide, I’ve got a bag of wilderness survival tips to share with you along the way. From how to manage your energy at high altitudes to how to stay safe in the wilderness, I’ll be right there guiding you through it all. We’ll trek together as a team—whether it’s adjusting your pack, finding the best photo spot, or just enjoying the serenity of the mountains.
Teahouses & Accommodations: What to Expect
While we’re camping under the stars most nights, there will be some lovely teahouses where we’ll rest. These teahouses are simple but warm, offering the perfect stop for a tea or hearty meal after a day of trekking.
In Meta, the tea is hot, and the owners are even warmer. You’ll feel right at home. In Phu Gaon, we’ll spend time with locals, hearing stories that are as inspiring as the mountains themselves. In Naar Village, you’ll be treated like royalty, with a hot meal and a warm bed to rest your tired muscles.
The best part? After a long day’s trek, there’s nothing better than a hot cup of tea by the fire and a good laugh with your fellow trekkers.
Cost: Is the Trek Pricey?
Naar Phu isn’t exactly cheap, but it’s worth every penny. With permits, guides, porters, and transport, it’s pricier than most treks—but trust me, you get what you pay for.
We understand that every trekker has different needs, so we offer options that can suit any budget—from more affordable to higher-end experiences. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly adventure or a premium trek with extra comfort, we handle all the details—permits, gear, food, and accommodation—so you can just enjoy the journey, no matter your style.
