Humla is the highest, most remote and northerly region of Nepal, lying on the border with Tibet. The region’s main town of Simikot is reachable only on foot or by plane in the absence of paved roads.

Life for the Humli people is challenging as the agricultural season in these high mountain valleys is short and the winters long and severe. Farming amidst the region’s difficult, though extraordinarily beautiful and dramatic terrain, is the people’s main source of income and vitality. This mountain landscape of high peaks, cut through by green valleys, turbulent rivers and forests of rhododendrons teeming with wildlife, featuring Hindu and Buddhist temples, shrines and religious sacred places, makes trekking this region an extremely rewarding and rejuvenating experience.
