The trek to Nar Phu Valley follows a well-trodden path through several mountain villages, terraced farmlands and extravagant forests on its way up to the beautiful valley of alpine zones at the higher elevations, the lower part of this trek is relatively easy as you walk almost on the flat land and gentle climb. While finishing the first easy section, we eventually make take a step towards the second section of the trek which is considerably challenging as you trek to high pass like Kanga-La (5,545 meters) pass, then descend for several hours to reach a small village of Manang, so ascend and descend on the same day for the long-distance might one of the most challenging parts of the trek but views around the place is mind-blowing.

    What an amazing experience to meet Dil and Arpan Gurung. Dil was a fantastic organiser, Arpan was an incredible guide and together they gave me a fantastic experience in the mountains. Every day felt like a new adventure and it was incredible to meet so many different people and see so many different locations in only 10 days. Arpan was always willing to help, gave me fantastic hints and information about the local area, and I was blown away at the serenity of the places we experienced. So few tourists made the experience even more unforgettable, and I loved getting an intimate experience with the owners of every tea house we stayed at rather than simply being treated as :another tourist. I cannot wait to come back to Nepal and will definately choose Alpine Ramble again. If you want a trekking company with huge hearts and even bigger heads Dil and Arpan cannot be beat! A once in a lifetime experience!
