Journey through the remote Nar Phu Valley Trek, where ancient Tibetan villages rest untouched in the shadows of the Nepal Himalaya. This relaxing, ambient hiking documentary follows my guide Pasang and me through these isolated Tibetan villages, crossing the snow-covered Kang La Pass (5,322m), and ascending Thorong La (5,416m) as dawn breaks over the mountains. This extended circuit branches from the classic Annapurna Circuit trek into a rarely-visited corner of Nepal, where ancient Tibetan Buddhist traditions, daily life in Tibetan villages, and pristine mountain wilderness create an unforgettable journey.

Experience life in the villages of Nar and Phu, where traditional Tibetan culture thrives unchanged for centuries. Join locals as they harvest and process barley in their fields, protect their village from a snow storm, share meals and stories inside their homes, and visit centuries-old monasteries. Prayer flags flutter against stone walls while yaks graze in high pastures beneath towering peaks.
