Best trekking and saw snow leopard
By: Nga Nguyen Country: Vietnam
The Nar Phu Valley trek was a magical trek. The remote villages, untouched landscapes and deep Tibetan culture made every step feel like an adventure into a hidden world. One of the most unforgettable moments was spotting a snow leopard near Phu village, an absolute dream for any trekker. Our guide Madhu Dhamala told us about that the chances of seeing one was extremely rare. Luck was on our side as we watched the elusive predator gracefully move across the ridge before disappearing into the cliffs.
The trek was filled with special moments from staying in cozy tea houses, sharing stories with locals over butter tea and yak cheese to enjoying hot bowls of thukpa after long trekking days. Nar village welcomed us with its colorful prayer flags and warm smiles. Crossing Kang La Pass (5,322m) was a dreamlike experience, with the Annapurna range glowing in golden light. Every moment, from the cultural immersion to the breathtaking scenery made this trek unforgettable. Huge thanks to Best Heritage Tour and Madhu for making this journey so special. If you're looking for adventure, this is the trek to do!
