Overview

The most remote region of the Manang District in Nar phu valley Trek lies and access is granted only with the purchase of a special permit. This area consists of two main village- Nar with 300 permanent residents called Nar-ten and Phu with 200 permanent residents called Phu-ten. These remote village are situated above tree line abd completely cut off during the snowy winter months. Residents of these valleys make their livelihood mainly from herding yak and trading yak and trading meat, wool and hides with the villages located in the lower regions of Manang.

 

Nar and Phu Valley trek, settled around the 10th century by tibetian herders and traders migrating south from Tibet, the inhabitants of Phu once placed high value on their remote and strategic location. Tall stone lookout towers, now standing in ruins, where used to spot possible invaders coming from all directions and thick wooden doors where bolted shut at night locking the residents securely inside. We can have the entire day to explore this fascinating area. We can have the great pleasure of sightseeing inside the Tashi Lakhang Monastery, which sites high above the village. 

 

Tashi Lakhang- ‘the best house of gods is one and along with the monastery in Braga, makes up the heart of spiritual life in the manang District . It takes two days to reach Naar from Phu village, the principal and seemingly more prosperous village in theses remote valleys. Naar, situated at 13730 feet, is also called Chuprong meaning “the place of Blue Sheep. Tthe original inhabitants of this valley ae believed to be Tibet’s ancient Shang Sung Kingdom arriving sometime in the 8th century and convered from Bon to Buddhism after the birth of Buddha in Lumbini. Nar village sits above a large flat plain which make up the extensive agriculture fields being plowed by teams of humans and their yak. It seemed as though the entire  village.
