Average day is 6 hours on rough trail between 2,600 m and 5,320 m. The longest day is Ngawal to Kang La at 8 hours at 5,320 m.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"detailed-breakdown\">Detaljeret opdeling<\/h2>\n<p>The Nar Phu Valley Trek branches off the Annapurna Circuit at Koto and climbs into a restricted Tibetan Buddhist valley system north of Manang. The route covers 90 km over 12 to 16 days including the Annapurna Circuit approach. Daily walking averages 6 hours with 600 to 1,000 m of altitude gain or loss.<\/p>\n<p>Day 1 Koto to Meta is the toughest climbing day. The trail gains 1,300 m from 2,600 m at Koto to 3,900 m at Meta over 7 hours on steep trail through pine forest. Day 2 Meta to Phu covers 6 hours along the Phu Khola canyon to Phu at 4,080 m.<\/p>\n<p>Day 3 is a rest at Phu. Day 4 Phu to Nar covers 6 to 7 hours climbing to Nar at 4,150 m. Day 5 is a rest at Nar. Day 6 Nar to Kang La base camp is 5 hours. Day 7 Kang La crossing to Ngawal is 8 hours including the 5,320 m pass.<\/p>\n<p>After Ngawal, trekkers rejoin the Annapurna Circuit and continue to Manang, Thorong La, and Jomsom, or exit via Besisahar. The post-Ngawal days run 5 to 6 hours each on standard Circuit trail.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cost-component-breakdown\">Omkostning\/komponentopdeling<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>dag<\/th>\n<th>vej<\/th>\n<th>Walking Hours<\/th>\n<th>Altitude Gain<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>Koto to Meta<\/td>\n<td>7 timer<\/td>\n<td>2,600 m to 3,900 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>Meta to Phu<\/td>\n<td>6 timer<\/td>\n<td>3,900 m to 4,080 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>Rest at Phu<\/td>\n<td>0 hours<\/td>\n<td>Acclimatisation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>Phu to Nar<\/td>\n<td>6 til 7 timer<\/td>\n<td>4,080 m to 4,150 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>Nar to Kang La BC<\/td>\n<td>5 timer<\/td>\n<td>4,150 m to 4,550 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>Kang La to Ngawal<\/td>\n<td>8 timer<\/td>\n<td>4,550 m to 5,320 m to 3,660 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7 til 11<\/td>\n<td>Ngawal to Jomsom<\/td>\n<td>5 til 6 timer<\/td>\n<td>Annapurna Circuit dage<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"what-affects-the-answer\">Hvad p\u00e5virker svaret<\/h2>\n<p>Fitness and acclimatisation are the largest variables. Fit, acclimatised trekkers compress the Kang La crossing day to 7 hours. Trekkers new to altitude should plan 9 to 10 hours on the same day. Carry diamox and start the pass crossing by 5 am to avoid afternoon snow on the north face.<\/p>\n<p>Season is the second variable. In October and November the trail is dry and the Kang La is snow-free 80 to 90 percent of the time. In April and May lingering snow on the north side of Kang La adds 1 to 2 hours to the crossing.<\/p>\n<p>Group size is the third variable. Solo trekkers or pairs move faster and complete daily stages in 5 to 6 hours. Groups of 4 to 6 trekkers take 6 to 8 hours because of varying pace and photo stops.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"booking-tips\">Bookingtips<\/h2>\n<p>Book through a Besisahar or Kathmandu based outfitter with documented Nar Phu experience. The restricted permit requires a licensed guide and a minimum group of two, and processing takes 7 to 10 working days through the Immigration Office in Kathmandu.<\/p>\n<p>Reserve teahouses at Meta, Phu, Nar, and Kang La base camp 14 to 21 days ahead for October. Meta has 8 beds across two lodges, Phu has 12 beds across three lodges, and Nar has 14 beds across two lodges. They fill quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Carry 4 to 5 days of supplementary food. The remote Phu and Nar lodges run out of vegetables and eggs by mid October in busy years.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"comparison-with-alternatives\">Sammenligning med alternativer<\/h2>\n<p>The Annapurna Circuit at 12 to 18 days for USD 1,200 to USD 2,400 runs 5 to 6 hours per day and crosses Thorong La at 5,416 m. The Manaslu Circuit at 14 to 18 days runs 5 to 7 hours per day and crosses Larkya La at 5,106 m.<\/p>\n<p>Nar Phu stands out for daily walking hours and sustained altitude. The 7 hours from Koto to Meta and the 8 hour Kang La crossing are harder than any single day on the standard Annapurna Circuit.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"common-mistakes-to-avoid\">Almindelige fejl at undg\u00e5<\/h2>\n<p>Skipping the rest day at Phu or Nar is the most common error. Trekkers push from Koto to Phu in 2 days without acclimatising and 25 to 35 percent develop altitude sickness. Always plan the rest days.<\/p>\n<p>Starting the Kang La crossing late is the second. Start by 5 am. Afternoon clouds and snow roll in by 1 pm on 40 to 50 percent of days in shoulder season.<\/p>\n<p>Underestimating the Koto to Meta day is the third. The 1,300 m gain on steep, narrow trail is harder than the altitude numbers suggest. Carry 3 to 4 liters of water and pack high energy snacks.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"faq\">FAQ<\/h2>\n<p><strong>What is the longest walking day on the Nar Phu Trek?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Day 7 Kang La crossing to Ngawal at 8 hours, including 770 m of climbing to 5,320 m and 1,660 m of descent to 3,660 m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are rest days included in the daily hours?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No. Rest days at Phu and Nar are zero walking hours and are essential for acclimatisation above 4,000 m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I need a guide for the daily walking?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, legally. The Nar Phu restricted permit requires a licensed guide and a minimum group of two. Trail signage is minimal and the Kang La crossing is unmarked in snow.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"summary\">oversigt<\/h2>\n<p>Daily walking on the Nar Phu Valley Trek runs 5 to 8 hours over 12 to 16 days. The longest days are Koto to Meta at 7 hours and Kang La crossing at 8 hours.
