Humla Limi Valley Trek

Your adventure begins with your arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal’s bustling capital. Our friendly team will welcome you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel. After some rest, we’ll have a short briefing about your trek. If time allows, you can enjoy a relaxing walk through the lively streets of Thamel.

Today, we take a scenic flight to Nepalgunj, a city in the warm plains of western Nepal, near the Indian border. The evening is free to rest or explore the bazaar area, full of local flavor and cultural fusion.

A thrilling mountain flight takes us to Simikot, the headquarters of Humla district. Nestled on a ridge, Simikot offers the first taste of the Himalayas. You'll notice how remote yet vibrant life is here, with local people in traditional dress going about their day.

Our trek begins! The trail winds through forests and traditional villages where locals greet you with curiosity and smiles. We reach Dhiga, a peaceful place surrounded by terraced fields and mountain views.

We descend through forested paths and follow a beautiful river valley. You’ll pass yak caravans and villagers carrying local goods — a reminder that life here is deeply connected to the land.

The trail today winds through pine forests and past wild medicinal plants, many used in Tibetan healing traditions. You might even spot Himalayan monals or blue sheep if you’re lucky.

As we continue deeper into the mountains, the landscape becomes more open. The meadows around Tsongsa are dotted with wildflowers in summer. You'll start to feel the sacred calm of the highlands.

We cross alpine pastures, following a quiet trail lined with fluttering prayer flags. Local shepherds might offer you dried yak cheese or stories of mountain spirits.

In the heart of the Limi Valley, Takchi greets us with stone houses and warm hospitality. The villagers here are of Tibetan origin and have preserved ancient customs, language, and rituals.

Today we hike toward the mystical Lapcha La region, with majestic peaks towering all around. You may feel a spiritual calm — this place has long been revered by both locals and pilgrims.

A once-in-a-lifetime moment awaits. Early morning, we climb to Lapcha La Viewpoint — the sacred Mt. Kailash and holy Lake Manasarovar appear on the horizon, just across the border in Tibet. It’s a deeply moving sight. We return to camp by afternoon.

We descend gently along an ancient trade route. Dukling is a peaceful spot surrounded by hills — the kind of place where stars shine brighter and silence speaks volumes.

Halji is one of the most culturally rich villages in Humla. Explore Rinchenling Monastery, believed to be over 1,000 years old. Locals wear traditional woolen robes and spin prayer wheels as they walk by. Life here feels timeless.

Another beautiful Limi village with stunning stone architecture and ancient Buddhist monuments. Til gives you a real sense of what it’s like to live in harmony with harsh but breathtaking nature.

Manipeme is near a legendary meditation cave. This place is filled with spiritual energy and is often used by Buddhist practitioners for long retreats.

We trek to Hilsa, a border town with dramatic river gorges. This is also a checkpoint for pilgrims heading to Mt. Kailash from Nepal. You’ll see a fusion of cultures here.

We follow a newly built road that hugs the cliffs and crosses roaring rivers. The drive is thrilling, scenic, and emotional — a final look at the raw beauty of Humla. 

Drive Time: 6–7 hours

Weather permitting, we fly back to Nepalgunj and then to Kathmandu. The busy city may feel overwhelming after the quiet of the mountains — but you’ll carry that peaceful

Your journey ends today. We’ll transfer you to the airport for your flight home. You leave not just with photos, but with the blessings of the mountains and memories to last a lifetime.
