Overview
The Namun-la Pass trek is an off-the-beaten-path trek in the Himalayan mountains. Enjoy trekking in an area not often visited by others, making for a peaceful and quite secluded journey.
On this 8-day trek, you'll pass through several Gurung villages, allowing you to immerse yourself in the lifestyle of the people in the Himalayas. You'll stay in their houses, eat Gurung food, and visit their places of worship. A nature enthusiast's dream, you will get to camp out on certain days, with the stars in plain view to observe high up the mountains. You'll trek through many kinds of terrain including forests, riverbanks, hills, and of course, the Himalayas themselves. You'll be treated to spectacular views of the Annapurna, Lamjung Himal, Machapuchare, Mardi Himal, and Manaslu mountain ranges. We reach the climax of the trek, Namun-la Pass, which lies at 4850. Sounds like an adventure, no?
