One World Trekking Confirms Hike to the Lost Valleys of Annapurna in Nepal

Small group to enter the remote Tibetan region of NarPhu amongst the giant Himalayas.

Aspen, CO, June 06, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Five days walk north of the famous Annapurna Circuit one will come upon a remote region of Nepal where time has seemingly stood still – the Tibetan valleys of NarPhu. One World Trekking, a 23 year leader in unique Himalayan travel, has just confirmed their October 1 to October 23, 2011 departure into these lost valleys of Annapurna. While on trek, this group of adventurous souls will be accompanied by an experienced team of Sherpa guides, cook crew and porter support while traveling into a land known for its unique culture and prime Snow Leopard habitat.

“In the spring of 2008, I had the pleasure to take a group into NarPhu. It was one of the most culturally interesting treks I have ever been on! We must have visited a dozen unique Buddhist monasteries!” exclaims Andy Crisconi of One World Trekking. “When you pass through the stone gate marking the entrance of Nar Village, it becomes immediately apparent that this place hasn’t seen many visitors. It’s as if time has stopped,” Andy continues.

This trek will surpass the expectations of any adventurer (http://oneworldtrekking.com/trips/epic-himalayan-journey-series/107-lost-valleys-of-narphu-trek.html). The NarPhu region is the most remote of the Manang District and access is granted only with the purchase of a special permit. The Buddhist villages of Nar and Phu are situated above 13,000 feet and residents of these valleys make their livelihood mainly from herding yak, trading meat, wool and hides. Settled around the 10th century, these nomadic yak herders and traders from Tibet place a high value on their remote and strategic location.

This extraordinary trekking vacation combines all of what makes so special and keeps hikers coming back for more. Please contact One World Trekking (www.oneworldtrekking.com) for a detailed trip itinerary or with any questions.
