This trek leads All most 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. |
