The first eight thousand meters they will climb on June,
3rd of the same year, they saw only a big frozen lake
and a huge impassable mountain wall. Annapurna was elsewhere…!
From that day that wall has been called the “Great
Barrier”. It demarcates the Annapurna range to
the north and one of its highest peak is called Tilicho
Peak. Its north-east ridge covered with snow majestically
towers the high Kali Gandaki valley to the west and
the Marshyangdi Valley to the east, while the hidden
kingdom of Mustang lies just few miles to the north.
The route we follow will start at Jomsom
and we will first trek up to the Dhampus Pass (5210m)
in order to progressively well acclimatize. We retrace
our steps down till Marpha before crossing the Kali
Gandaki river to trek towards the base camp through
the Mesokanto Pass at 5100m altitude. Our base camp
will be settled at Tilicho lake side.

REMOTE AREA: NAR & PHU VALLEY TREK
The trail to this remote valley left
untouched by civilizations enter from near Chame, on
the trail of popular Annupurna trek. Exploring the valley
to the north, visiting Phu village situated on the edge,
we travel south to Nar Village. The valley along with
the Thoche village is surrounded by Peri Himalaya to
the north, Gangla and Kangguru to the east and Damodar
Himalaya to the west. Despite the prosperity of the
other area in Manang, people in this valley have remained
untouched until now. Their dialect is different from
others and they have not left their nomadic tradition.
There are three Buddhist monasteries dedicated to Nyingmapa
sect. Nar Phu & Thoche valley is the closest area
that pre Budhist tradition, culture and rituals are
still in tact. The trek passes through Meta, Phugaun,
Chako, Kang La, Manang, Muktinath finally ends in Jomsom
from where we fly back to Pokhara.
