Limi valley trek is opened for trekking since 2002 as this vicinity borders on Tibet. It follows historical trading and pilgrim route over challenging trails and excessive passes to shield the fragile surroundings. The region retains the least number of visitors. And making sure flora and fauna continue to be entire for the generations to return. It is considered one of the most desolate places in Humla, whereas the Buddhist culture of the century-old remains. The Humla Limi Valley Trek promises not only beautiful mountain scenery but also the sacred Mount Kailash in Tibet.
Humla Limi valley trek is an excellent “off the beaten track” in the western Himalayas of Nepal. Together with exploring Karnali River, this trek takes you into an unexplored Upper Limi valley. However, the village of Halji, Til, and Jang includes strenuous passes and a beautiful Tibetan tradition and culture. So there are the principal attractions of Humla Limi valley trek alongside the pristine beauty. The Limi Valley appears almost forgotten by the time. The intrusion of the present’s modernization is minimum. The medieval-looking villages, equally historic culture and an age-old lifestyle, can experience firsthand on the trek. Hence, Limi Valley proved the hidden gems of western Nepal.
The isolated nature of the Humla Limi Trekking Valley offers greater possibilities to see blue sheep the rare and elusive snow leopards. This great trek highlights a particular facet of Nepal than that seen in some of the usual hiking routes. It additionally gives a glimpse into the paranormal land of Tibet without having to go through the formalities of getting there.
