Saribung pass is situated to the northern part of Annapurna circuit and in the range of  Damodar Himal, close to the boarder of (Tibet).

The Saribung Pass Trek trails are rugged, ancient culture merge in a very unique interpretation of lands forgotten by time. The trails here are rugged, cutting high into cliffsides and passing through small Buddhist villages that have changed little over the centuries on this stunning traverse from Mustang, we cross numerous high passes including the  Pass (6225m) and emerge to the Annapurna region. In order to allow for as much acclimatization as possible before crossing the 18,000-foot Saribung La Pass, we will run our research trek in a clockwise direction beginning our approach from the culturally-rich Buddhist region of Upper Mustang and descend through the remote Nar-Phu Valley before joining the Annapurna Circuit trail trek.

On this Saribung Pass Trek Tibetan culture thrives in the small villages and monasteries we pass. It is a must for keen photographers who will appreciate the scale and grandeur of the high plateaus and solitude this region has to offer. Saribung Trek can be done in anti-clockwise for which the trek start from Phu and then ascend to Saribung pass and enter in the Mustang "Hidden Kingdom" and return to Jomsom or clockwise for which the trek start from Jomsom and follow Upper Mustang trail and descend to Nar-Phu valley and end at Besisahar.

For mountaineering, it is easy to do Expedition but there are many passes with ice and creases in between the Damodar Kunda region and Nar-Phu valley. The crossing of the exciting Saribung La Pass  trek offers adventurous souls, the opportunity to cross many high mountains passes often covered with snow and will see remote valleys situated between the Damodar Kunda and Nar- Phu Valley.The Saribung Pass Trek starts from one place to another with great diversity in scenery, beautiful landscapes, cultures, interaction with locals, religion and geographical variations.
