Limi Valley Trek

Limi Valley Trek, it lies the most northern and remote Humla district of Nepal. You can see the lifestyle of Humla continues at a pace unaffected by the world beyond Limi valley. The villages are medieval and the lives of their inhabitants are intimately entwined with the rhythm of nature.

It is true to access to Humla is difficult, but it is also to be sure those who persevere are rewarded with the most beguiling scenery and culture in Nepal. To this day some of the oldest monasteries in Nepal are still found in this region, some are 400-1000yrs old & the unique cultures of the past are still in practice. You can see the scenery of the pine-forested Karnali gorge, the beautiful Mt Saipal (7,200m) and the Nalakankad mountain range you are witness to people attired in traditional costumes. It treads a path alongside yak and sheep caravans.

The Limi valley is an area untouched by modern changes and for many more others things, This is the reason is believed to be the present form of the mythical Shangri-la. This valley is the only remaining place where you can still witness the fresh Tibetan culture and costume due to the matrimonial relationship between Western Nepal & Tibet.

During the Cultural Revolution, much of the Tibetan culture & monasteries were destroyed, this destruction, however, failed to affect Limi Valley as it lies within a small corner of Nepal, known to some as small Tibet. There is still traversing the ancient salt route provided something different, never did my eyes feel the fatigue of gazing upon similar scenery. It is rich green terraces line the valley as if carved from creation; overhead eagles effortlessly soar, wild deer cavort on nearby rocks and yak bask in the cool turquoise waters below.

Before self reach there I had previously read the documents and listened of explorers who had come across this place. What I stood out through their words was a common reference to the people of Limi and nowadays with new generation improving by learning from little schools. Their smiles & laughter are contagious beyond belief but far more than this is their vibrant life color which casts a blessing upon those lucky enough to stumble through here. There is simply so much I could write about this magnificent place, its beauty has touched me far deeper than anywhere else I've previously visited. For me, Humla & Limi Valley represent the true Hidden Himalayas, an Earthly manifestation of the Kingdom of Heaven if the fabled Shangri-La does exist then look no further. Kailash tour via Limi Valley is a hidden trekking route and another route to mount Kailash via Narala pass.
