| Narphu valley Trekking |
Narphu
valley Trekking is probably the best trek of Annapurna region
and for those who want to explore hidden valley and trek
off the beaten crossing through Challenging high passes
like Masokanto La (5099m), Kangla pass (5200m) & Tilicho
Pass (5230m) with beautiful Lake Tilicho.Hidden by swirls
of mountain mist ahead of us, from Kangla pass at 5200m
the magnificent panorama view of Annapurna massif appears
remote and forbidding. Our destination is the Nar-Phu valley,
above the tree line on the upper limits of cultivation,
in the very north of Manang district. It takes five hours
reaching the pass that links Nar with Manang and three other
Bhotia villages in the Nyershang down valley. Nowadays,
Nar Phu has about 300 inhabitants who depend on livestock,
unlike most Bhotia people, whose trading patterns changed
drastically after the Nepali Government closed borders with
Tibet, the people of Nar and Phu valley were least affected
by this change. The tortuous path leading from the valley
into Tibet had never made them dependent on the salt trade,
and till today yak herding is the basis of their livelihood.
The Nepal government's recent decision to open up Nar and
Phu to tourists has evoked little enthusiasm among the villagers,
whose pastoral lifestyle continues. Apart from the odd researcher
and climbing expeditions permitted to climb Him lung, Ratnachuli
and Gachikang, few foreigners has visited the area and tourism
infrastructure is almost non-existent. Since Annapurna Conservation
Area Project (ACAP) recently extended its network to include
Nar and Phu Valley, it is preparing a suitable tourism development
plan at the request of the government for undiscovered valley.

Kathmandu sightseeing
We will be visiting three of the famous heritage
sites in Kathmandu. You will visit first the
Swayambunath Stupa (Monkey Temple). It is said
that Swayambunath Stupa is more than 2,000 years
old, and it symbolizes knowledge. The painted
eyes on all four sides symbolize the all-seeing
power of Buddha. It is an important Buddhist
place where pilgrims from all over the world
come. It is situated to the west of the city
on a hill some 77 meters above the valley.
It is a 30 minutes drive to Boudhanath Stupa,
another important Buddhist pilgrims site. This
ancient Stupa is considered one of the biggest
in the World. Every morning and evening, many
Buddhist devotees come here to pray and circumambulate
enabling the visitors to observe local religious
practices.
The sacred Hindu temple Pashupatinath is considered
the holiest cremation ground, and people bathe
in the Bagmati River with a faith of cleansing
themselves spiritually. Many Sadhus or Hindu
Ascetics live here. During religious festivals,
Hindus come to make offerings, and it is sometimes
very crowded.
