Nar Phu Teri La Pass Upper Mustang Trek: Most preserved regions

The Nar Phu Upper Mustang Teri La Pass trek, reaching an altitude of 5595m, is an exhilarating journey off the beaten path that offers a remarkable adventure. It highlights the rich cultural diversity of the remote and isolated Nar Phu region, as well as the historically significant Upper Mustang, known as the ancient Lo Kingdom, with its unique landscapes and mysterious atmosphere. This challenging yet thrilling trek immerses you in a captivating world where you can experience tranquility and nature, far removed from the chaos and crowds. Discover various climates, embrace Tibetan culture, and stay in monasteries, local lodges, and tents, gaining experiences that are incomparable to any other trip in Nepal. Initially, you will follow the Annapurna Circuit trek to Koto village before continuing to Nar Phu and ultimately summiting the challenging yet rewarding Teri La Pass, which connects you to Upper Mustang, a region that remained isolated until 1992 AD. Explore the hidden beauty and treasures of Upper Mustang beyond the Himalayas before concluding your journey in Pokhara. This adventure is known as the Nar Phu and Upper Mustang trek, but the trail offers an untouched experience ideal for seasoned trekkers who wish to witness the mountains from a close vantage point along less-explored paths.

Our 24-day Teri La Pass Trek is a comprehensive package led by local expert Sherpas, ensuring the best logistical arrangements throughout the journey. It begins in Kathmandu with a scenic 8-9 hour drive to Dharapani via a private jeep. From Dharapani, we will embark on the classic Annapurna Circuit, traveling from Koto to Meta Village, Phu Village, and Nar before reaching Teri La Pass at 5,595 meters. This stunning pass offers breathtaking views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. Nar and Phu are newly opened trekking routes, representing a remote corner of Nepal that carries centuries of civilization, warm hospitality, and natural beauty, characterized by Tibetan plateaus and arid landscapes. The villages maintain an 18th-century lifestyle, allowing you to experience the deep harmony between nature and culture. After crossing Teri La Pass, we will connect with the Upper Mustang trail at Tange village, continuing to Yara, Luri Gompa, Lo Manthang, Chhoser, Ghar Gompa, Dhakmar, Ghami, Syanmochen, Chungsi Cave, Samar, Chele, and Kagbeni. Following our time in Kagbeni, we will trek to Jomsom along the Kali Gandaki Valley. The next morning, you can take a scenic flight to Pokhara, followed by a flight back to Kathmandu as per the itinerary.
