The Limi Valley Trek organized by Orbit Alpine is a journey into Humla, one of the remote regions of northwest Nepal near the Tibetan plateau. As recently as 1993, this was a closed region and was only opened for trekking with special permit. Today, however, it has gained popularity for the untouched and unspoiled landscapes and the immersive experience it provides to visitors. The region has a culture and tradition that’s unique in not only the world, but also in the whole of Nepal. Just in three weeks, you will travel from tropical regions up to the alpine climate and return to Kathmandu.

You will begin from Kathmandu and fly to Nepalgunj and further to Simikot, the place where the actual trekking begins. In the following days, you will trek in the vicinity of the longest river in Nepal, the Karnali. Humla, where the trek happens is still by far the least encroached region in Nepal. The wilderness remains intact here, which is one of the reasons you come across varieties of wildlife and vegetation. You can see the animals like yaks (domesticated and wild), blue sheep, marmots, wolf, Himalayan black bear, mountain goats, and the snow leopard. Along the way, you will have amazing views of Mt. Kailash, Mt. Saipal, and other peaks of the Himalayan Range.

Limi Valley Humla Trek

You will camp in natural beauty that has been untouched, so, it remains the last virgin region of the planet. It is only testified by continuous walking when you might not even encounter a human being apart from your trekking group! Lying in the rain shadow of the mighty giant peaks in the north, it has a barren and arid landscape. Limi Valley is an open playground for animals of all sorts - and for trekkers like you, it is a rare chance to enjoy the wilderness in its crudest form. Even in monsoon when the rest of Nepal is enjoying above-average rainfall, it is possible to visit this region during high monsoon.

People from different ethnic communities live in the Limi Valley region but some of them are Bynsi, Khampa, Limipa, and Nyinba. The people still practice their centuries-old religion and lifestyle which may be a matter of interest for visitors in this region. You come across several monasteries, chortens, mani walls, stupas, and prayer flags - near a hamlet, a village, or a religious site. Apart from these sites, the trekking route will take you through forests (alpine and tropical), barren lands, gorges, passes, valleys, and hilly trails. So, prepare for a challenging but satisfying trek in the remote regions of Nepal.
