The Saribung Pass is situated in the mysterious wonders of the beautiful Mustang Valley. Its leading destination is to reach the top of the comparatively tricky Saribung Pass (6063 meters). Saribung Pass Trek opened in 2006 to foreigners while it connected Upper Mustang and isolated Naar Phu valley. The rugged rocky terrains and the passage through villages with ethnic groups residing in them make it a more exciting and adventurous trek. One can explore two different trekking in a single excursion, both Upper Mustang and Naar Phu Valley.

Saribung pass trek goes all the way, starting from the tourist city of Pokhara and taking an aircraft to Jomsom. The trail extends a stunning traverse through the Upper Mustang Circuit and Damodar Himal range. While crossing the numerous high passes, including Saribung Pass(6042m), one can climb the Saribung peak.

Despite the remoteness, Saribung Pass Trek has excellent views of the entire Nar Phu Valley, encompassing icy glaciers. The remote Mustang Valley appears even more mysterious and hypnotic at the top of the Saribung Pass. After trekking to the isolated Naar Phu Valley, you can exit the famous Annapurna Circuit at Koto. This incredible trek across the hidden valley of Mustang will be recommended to all who а need to explore the raw, remote regions of Nepal's beautiful country.

Upper mustang trek

I did this trek in Upper Mustang with my sisters, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed every part of the journey. I also highly recommend kumar as a guide – he was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trek even more special. A truly unforgettable adventure!

A wonderful experience!

I did the Phoksundo Lake trek with Kumar and it was a superb experience. It is an adventure, so you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone, but Kumar always adapts to the unexpected and makes the trip as enjoyable as possible! The landscapes are magnificent, you meet lots of people along the way, and you really push your limits! Kumar is an excellent guide attentive, friendly, and his prices are very fair!

Best company best guide

I recently did an annapurna curcit with my brother and his girlfriend. It was an amazing trek with the help of kumar and his team . It was one of the best experience of our life . The annapurna curcit is the best of the treks that people can choose for. I sincerely recommend this company for other travellers.

Impressive tent trekking Dolpo 2023

The 18-day Lower and Upper Dolpo tour was individually tailored to our needs by Kumar. Kumar had put together a great team of guide, cook and mule guide. This team fulfilled all of our wishes at all times during the entire tent trek. Narsang, our guide, is very attentive and careful along the entire route. Kumar is very reliable. He looked after us very well in the preparation and execution of our trek and during our stay in Kathmandu right up to the farewell at the airport. A highly recommended local company when it comes to individually planning a trekking tour. The trip was a great experience. Chris and Hajo

Honest & Friendly

Our non-profit organisation needed a local tour guide to help with our local guide and logistics. After much research, we engaged with Kumar. During our 4 days trip, Kumar demonstrated excellent local knowledge, punctuality, friendliness. During the trip he never tried to sale us anything. And with a charitable and kind heart, he did not even charge us for this ngo trip. thank you so much.

Reliable and responsible

I was very lucky to have Kumar to arrange our 5 day stay in Nepal. From the pick up at the airport to showing up punctually every morning at the hotel lobby, everything was smooth and hassle free. Kumar is a friendly and kind-hearted gentleman who genuinely wants to help visitors to experience the best of Nepal. Will definitely choose Himalayan Exploration for my next trekking.
