    And I wanted to say that I was really impressed with how well you spoke Nepali in the video, Stephanie. It's not an easy language to learn, and it's great to see someone taking the time to learn it and use it to connect with the local people. Kudos to you!

      Thank you, but I have a long way to go with Nepali! I do have a lot of motivation to learn, but it definitely isn't an easy language. Absolutely worth it to be able to connect more deeply with people though :)

      Thank you so much for watching and for your comment :) And yes, the weather was definitely really nice the whole way, albeit a bit chilly. That is the good thing about trekking in the himalayas in November - you are pretty much guaranteed clear skies, you just have to endure a bit colder temperatures and often not as much greenery or agriculture to see at the high altitudes in this season. Beautiful though. Beautiful and different in every season!

    Hi. This is a really great video. It gives me a good idea what the trek is like, and it is delightful. Quick question. It looks like your companion on the trip was exhausted at the end of each day. Was it a difficult trek? What days were the hardest? Any reason why?

      Hi David! Thank you so much for watching and so glad the video could give you a good idea about the trek. Haha, that's funny that you were able to notice - my husband was indeed especially exhausted the first few days, as he had just quit smoking at the start of the trek! Otherwise, I think this trek was fairly similar to other Nepali treks, difficulty-wise. There were some longer days (Koto to Meta, Meta to Phu), and the Kang La pass is pretty long with a steep climb at the end, but apart from that, if you are decently fit and accustomed to trekking at altitude, I found this trek to be the perfect level of challenging. I hope that helps and please let me know if you have any other questions!

    Hi Stephanie! Thank you for the detailed overview of the trek. I am planning to go through the same trek in mid April 2023. I am wondering what should I pack in terms of sleeping system. I am wondering if i would need to carry sleeping mat and sleeping bag if i plan to stay at the teahouses?
    Also how is the electricity in the area? Is it easy enough to charge electronics?
    Thank you in advance! ❤❤

      @StephThorntonNEPAL  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Oei Angela! Thanks so much for your message, and that's awesome that you are planning to do the Nar Phu Trek. Very good choice :) For sleeping, you actually don't need to bring anything extra as all the tea houses have beds and blankets for guests. I usually bring a sleeping bag with me on treks, and I did for this one as well, because I like to make sure I'll be extra warm and comfy. Definitely not necessary though.
      As for electricity, despite being so remote, most of the villages on this trek do have electricity, although with varying levels of reliability and power. Khyang and Phu only rely on small solar systems I believe, so less reliable there, but you should still be able to charge your electronics every stop along the way, unless maybe you had a device that required higher than average voltage to charge. I brought a power bank with me just so I could be sure I'd be able to charge, and used it to charge things the whole way.
      I am fairly sure there was cell phone coverage most of the way, although maybe not in Phu. I think Nar even had wifi though. I try to just have my phone in airplane mode the whole time, so I don't quite remember how good it was throughout.
      Hope that helps and please let me know if you have any other questions! I'm sure you already know, but the Nar Phu Trek does require an additional restricted area permit, and a funny rule that you need to have at least two trekkers in your group. If you need any assistance with permits, etc, I can help out with that too.

      Hi! We went in early November. If you’re going soon, it will be a bit warmer than when we did it, but definitely cold and windy up there at the higher altitudes. Pack the same as for any other nepali trek where you get up to 5000m. Having a down jacket and layers is super important and you’ll need gloves, warm socks and warm hat. Do you have all your permits and guide set for doing nar phu trek?

    • @ukspice69
      @ukspice69 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@StephThorntonNEPAL we have a guide Just didn't know how many layers to bring. Like how many t-shirts like having a long sleeve t-shirts one fleece I have two down jackets one of those light Patagonia ones and a 650 fill down jacket. I don't want to bring too much and I don't want to bring too little. I think like two to three long sleeve shirts two to three t-shirts three hiking pants and some gloves and a wooly hat.
      We are doing 16 days which also includes part of the Annapurna circuit too. Do you think I'm bringing too much stuff
