Humla Limi Valley Trek
(ETNNP089)  Nepal

Overview

The trans-Himalayan valley in Humla District of Nepal in the far-west Nepal bordering Tibet to its north, Limi is one of the few least frequented trekking destinations of Nepal. Its remoteness and its far-flung location have made this place Nepal’s offbeat trekking destination. However, Limi entertains few intrepid trekkers every year who prefer trekking to the offbeat destinations and admire extreme tranquility. Yes, Limi has it all.

One of the few untrodden trails in the Himalayas that is still unexplored, the trekking trails to Limi have rugged terrains but enchantingly beautiful ones. The culture in the villages on the way to Limi and in the Limi Valley itself is so authentic that trekkers literally have the feeling of traveling back to time.

Jam-packed with natural and cultural delights Limi, has the culture that is so closely attached to the Tibetan Culture. It might be because of the closer proximity with Tibet or because of the legacy that has been transferred from their Tibetan ancestors; the people of Limi are probably nicest people on earth despite of tough life they practice. The real lifestyle of the Himalayas can be observed in Limi.

The three major villages trekker encounter during Limi Valley Trek in Humla are  Jang, Halji and Til, which clearly demonstrate the occupations, the people of Limi people have been involved into for their livelihood.
