Namun La Pass Trek Itinerary

Unveiling the Hidden Jewel: the Namun La Pass Trek in Nepal

The Namun La Pass is a hidden gem in the spectacular Annapurna region, providing access to breathtaking Himalayan scenery. Namun La, which stands at 4,850 metres, was previously a key commercial route connecting Pokhara and Manang. Today, it provides a unique and less congested option to the well-known Annapurna Circuit Trail.

A Journey of Time and Tranquilly

Take a walk along this historic trail and follow in the footsteps of ancient traders. The newly combined route includes the pristine Dudh Pokhari (Milk Lake) and the Namun La Pass, which connects the Lamjung, Manang, and Kaski districts. This hidden gem offers a peaceful retreat into the heart of the Annapurna Himalaya.

Legends & Legacy

Legend has it that the Tamu group, ancestors of the Gurung people, crossed the Namun La from Tibet millennia ago. Tamuwan, explore the wreckage of their country to unearth echoes of a magnificent past.

A spiritual cleansing

Dudh Pokhari, regarded as a holy lake, draws pilgrims during the Janai Purnima festival. The concept that swimming in its frigid waters cleanses sins attracts believers seeking spiritual refreshment. Some even regard this tranquil lake as a portal to the sky.

A world of wonders awaits.

The Namun La Trek reveals a patchwork of breathtaking vistas. Quaint villages with terraced fields, crystal-clear glacial lakes, stunning gorges carved by raging rivers, and tranquil pine, oak, and rhododendron forests depict pristine beauty.

A panoramic paradise.

As you rise, take in the beautiful views of the Annapurna, Manaslu, and Lamjung mountain ranges. This off-the-beaten-path tour reveals hidden gems, fascinating people, and traditional communities, providing a memorable experience for those looking for a real Himalayan adventure.
