Description
If you always wanted to venture into the remoteness of the Himalayas, join us on this incredible Limi Valley Trek in Nepal. The 20-day tour will take you to the far-removed region of Humla, into a stunning landscape of soaring mountains and lush forests.
Humla lies in the north of Nepal and is popularly known as the “Hidden Himalaya”, given its remoteness. Located at an elevation of 2945 meters, it serves as a gateway to Mount Kailash and Lake Manosarober trek.
The Limi Valley Trek will explore this faraway region of Nepal. It will lead you into scenic villages that are still untouched by the modern way of living. You’ll have a close brush with the lifestyle and culture of rural Nepali people and also get to see the ancient Buddhist culture.
The highlight of the trek is crossing the two famous passes of Nyalu La and Nara La. Also, it will be enriching to explore the unique flora and fauna of the region and if you are lucky, you might as well spot a snow leopard or a blue sheep on the way. You’ll also be rewarded by epic views of the high peaks of Mount Kailash and Saipal as you’ll begin to scale.
Along with visiting many monasteries and temples on the way, you’ll also get to see the salt trading route which was used by the traders from Tibet and Nepal in ancient times.
We’ll begin and end the journey in Kathmandu. After a day of sightseeing in the Kathmandu valley, we’ll fly to Nepalgunj to start the trek. The following days will take us through many remote places including Dharapuri, Manepeme, Halji and Shinjungma. We’ll be camping at many spectacular locations under the clear night sky and experience the complete awe of the Humla region.
Regarding difficulty, this is a medium grade trek ideal for newbies well as seasoned hikers. All you’ll need is a fit body and a high spirit and you’ll be just fine!

What people are saying about Explore-Share
Man
Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!
Maxine
Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
