Nar Phu Valley Trekking with Yoga

The best time to trek in the Nar Phu Valley is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During these months, the weather is stable, and you’ll enjoy clear mountain views, moderate temperatures, and blooming rhododendrons in spring. The trail can be more challenging in winter due to snow, and monsoon season brings heavy rain and potential landslides.

The Nar Phu Valley Trek is considered moderately difficult, with some challenging sections, including crossing the Kang La Pass at 5,240 meters. Trekking days typically involve 5-7 hours of walking on uneven and sometimes steep terrain. While previous trekking experience is helpful, it is not mandatory. The daily yoga sessions help with flexibility, balance, and recovery, making the physical demands more manageable.

No prior yoga experience is necessary. Our certified yoga instructor will cater to all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners. Yoga sessions focus on gentle stretching, breathwork, and meditation to complement the trekking experience and aid in physical recovery.

Accommodation during the trek includes tea houses, lodges, and a monastery stay. These are basic but comfortable, offering simple rooms with shared bathroom facilities. While some tea houses may offer hot showers for an additional fee, most places will have only cold water. Wi-Fi may be available in a few locations but is generally unreliable due to the remoteness of the region.

Acclimatization is key to handling high altitudes. Our itinerary includes rest days for acclimatization, such as in Phu Gaon. It is also important to trek slowly, drink plenty of water, and avoid alcohol. Our guides are experienced in recognizing symptoms of altitude sickness and will provide advice and support as needed.

Charging facilities are available at some tea houses, but there may be an extra fee. It is a good idea to bring a portable power bank or solar charger to ensure your devices stay charged, especially in more remote areas where electricity is limited.

Each trekker is allowed to bring up to 15 kg (33 lbs) of luggage, which will be carried by porters. You will only need to carry a day pack with essentials, such as water, snacks, and extra layers. It’s important to pack light, but we recommend bringing all necessary equipment to ensure your comfort and safety.

Yes, the Nar Phu Valley is a restricted area, and special permits are required. We will arrange the Nar Phu Valley Restricted Area Permit (RAP) and the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) on your behalf. These permits are included in the package cost.

The package includes Ayurvedic vegetarian meals prepared to nourish your body and support the physical demands of trekking and yoga.
