A trek to Nar Phu
Valleys, Nepal
Physically, Nar is not far from the main Annapurna trail, but it feels centuries away, is rarely visited by trekkers and is about as picturesque as they come. Nar is a bit more social and lively than Phu, and the village 'square' is full of chatting women with their back-strap looms weaving wool fabric for rugs and blankets, pounding mustard seeds for oil, or spinning the ubiquitous wool while catching up on the news.
The children in Nar seem to be always out in the streets, presumably
preferring this life to the classroom! Other Nar villagers may be
printing prayer flags, doing some carpentry, collecting wood from the
forest and carrying large loads with a head-strap back up to the house,
harvesting the crops, tending the yaks, sheep and goats or spinning the
prayer wheels in the center of town.
