The Kang-La Pass (5315m) is a center highlight where trekkers will be able to spot a myriad of peaks including Annapurna II (7937m), Gangapura (7455m) and Tilicho Peak (7134m).

An amazing cliffs trail, over the different region’s highest trekking, passes are situated in this region. This very different and amazing land which is being visited by a very small number of travelers or trekkers which is rich in Tibetan culture and also kept it for centuries.

There is also a beautiful old-time made Phu village and we can ever get such a chance to experience the real lifestyle of the local Bhote and different religious communities people.

Government has recently decided to open the place for Nar and Phu to tourists as we feel that tourist and local people has also increased a little enthusiasm or a kind of motivation among the villagers who were spending their rural lifestyle.

Annapurna Conservation Area Project has been recently given more extension of time for its network to include Nar and Phu Valley. Now it has started preparing a suitable kind of tourism development plan for this the hidden region.

Taking all things as normal as there are higher chances of altitude sickness you must have proper planning for the reduction or preventative for that thing.

The Vegetation of that place gradually changes to alpine and subalpine scrub including this has favored by both bharal (blue sheep) and snow leopards. The valley also offers medieval Tibetan culture. It is in an undisturbed form which dramatically shows the mountains view and great alpine scene.
