Overview

Humla Limi Valley Trek

Limi Valley Trek is an amazing trek that provides a glimpse into the mystical land of Tibet without having to deal with any of the formalities of getting there. In spite of the challenging hiking with some long days, the pristine sights and sounds of Humla Limi Valley Trek are more than worth it.

The Limi Valley Trek was opened for trekking in 2002 as a result of its proximity to the Tibet border. It follows a historic trade and pilgrim route over rugged trails and high passes to protect the surrounding environment. As this region attracts the least number of tourists, it ensures that the flora and fauna will continue to exist for future generations. Although Humla is considered one of the most barren places in the country, the century-old Buddhist culture still exists there. In addition to offering spectacular mountain scenery, the Humla Limi Valley Trek also includes a visit to Mount Kailash, the holiest mountain in Hinduism.

Located deep within the Himalayas of Western Nepal, Humla Limi Valley is the highest, most western, and most remote district in Nepal. The Humla Limi Valley is culturally diverse, with the northern highlands occupied by the Bhotias, and the southern valleys and riverbeds occupied by the Khasas (Hindus).

The Humla Limi valley trek is a wonderful “off the beaten track” excursion in the western Himalayas of Nepal. Along with exploring the Karnali River, this trek will also take you into the unexplored Upper Limi Valley. It is worth noting that the villages of Halji, Til, and Dzang include strenuous passes and a wonderful Tibetan culture and tradition. Thus, these are the main attractions of the Humla Limi valley trek along with its pristine beauty. The Limi Valley seems to have been forgotten by time.

There is very little evidence of modernization in the area. You can experience firsthand the medieval-looking villages, equally historic culture, and an age-old lifestyle on the trek. Thus, Limi Valley is one of the best-kept secrets of western Nepal.

The Limi Valley Trek has two primary advantages over other treks, namely that you can see Mount Kailash without having to visit Mansarovar Lake, which is located in Tibet, and that it lies off the beaten track, as Western Nepal has less tourism than the rest of the country.

Due to its remoteness, the Humla Limi Valley Trekking offers greater chances of seeing rare and elusive animals like blue sheep and snow leopards. During this wonderful trek, you will see a very different side of Nepal than that which is normally encountered on hiking routes. Additionally, it provides a glimpse into the paranormal land of Tibet without having to undergo the formalities of getting there.

Traditions & Culture

Trekking begins in Simikot, a region dominated by Buddhism. There are, however, many Hindu communities scattered throughout the country. The Limi Valley region provides basic needs such as schools, monasteries, and primary health clinics. Agriculture, livestock, and tourism are the main sources of income for the people at present. It is interesting to note that many people in this region travel to Tibet for work and trade. Hilsa village in Limi valley can be accessed from the Taklakot border.

A 1000-year-old monastery built by “Locha wasijen Samu” is a hidden truth of civilization in Hilsa village of Limi valley. At that time, the monastery was built in the village and was worshipped by the villagers. There are monks and lamas in the monastery. After completing the monastery’s construction, the lama who built it is believed to have died. It is the 108th monastery that Lama has built all around the old one.
