Overview

Annapurna Region is one of the best areas for trekkers to visit the country sides of Nepal. This ‘Nagi – Narchyang View Trek’ is one of the best within this area. It provides wonderful views of Himalayan Peaks of Annapurna Range and Dhaulagiri Range. The trail passes through beautiful villages, high pastureland and rugged landscape making the trip unforgettable. The tranquil vistas of the snow capped mountain peaks add the uniqueness on your everyday journey. This is also rich in terms of culture, diversified tradition and lifestyle of local people. Trek in here really has remained one of the best activities recently as it is less crowded, does not need to ascend the extreme elevation and possible year around. This is infact an ‘alternative route’, recently invented as other trek routes in Annapurna Region are gradually shortening with the advent of motor-able roads and other physical infrastructures. It is because of this very fact that alternatives trails are being identified, explored and promoted in the region.
