Limi Valley Trek

17 Days

  Limi is a small valley near to Mt Kailash in the western Nepal. Limi Valley lies in Humla district of Nepal, connected very near to the mountains from Tibet. Limi valley trek is composed of 3 different villages together; those 3 villages are Tila, Hilji and Dam. Limi valley is a very less known trekking region of Nepal with off the beaten trekking route along the villages off the sight of Nepal government.  

Ironically, life in the villages of this region is not easy. But the beauty of the region is awesome with all those waterfalls, towering mountains, simple life of beautiful people, deserted landscapes and jungle trails in the beginning.

Limi Valley is different from other treks for 2 major reasons; firstly you can see Mt Kailash without going to Mansarovar lake which lies in Tibet and second Limi valley trek is the off the beaten trek which lies in western Nepal – Western Nepal is less Explored itself.

Tourism in Limi Valley has been very less known, here till this date just 50 trekkers visit the entire region – however the beauty of Nature is stunning. From the Limi valley trek you can also see Kailash Mountain.

The gateway of the Limi valley trekking region is Simikot which is the capital of Humla district. Simikot means fort which is in the wetland; sim in Nepali means wet land whereas Kot means fort.

How to get to Limi Valley?

Starting from Kathmandu, you need to take a flight to Simikot. On arrival at Simikot the trekking is on the road and trekking trail. The trekking is about 8 to 18 days depending upon the time trekkers take to enjoy nature.

From Simikot the trekking goes along the river valley. Karnali River is the major river of Nepal. While trekking from Simikot to Dharapuri – trekkers pass by huge waterfalls, jungle trails, local villages and pristine beauty of nature in different states. Trekking trails often go on the seasonal motor roads.


    Trekking from Dharapuri to Kirmi is another fascinating day with the best of waterfalls and narrow trails hanging by the cliff. If you have been to Manaslu or Upper dolpo the trekking trail is more like those restricted trekking trails.

    Chyachhara waterfall is probably the largest waterfall which can be seen in trekking trails of Nepal. This waterfall is stunning and the location is perfect.

    Taking lunch in a tea house in the middle of nowhere, sleeping in the village in an odd location, smiling faces of local people, curious children and yaks/sheep herd met along the trekking trail is an interesting part of trekking to Limi Valley.

    What to Expect in Limi Valley trek?

    The trekking trail will have very few trekkers. That is why the trail will be peaceful and the entire trekking trail will seem like ours. Beauty of nature is stunning but as you are trekking off the beaten trekking trail; accommodation and food is simple.

    Horse riding is a major means of transportation among locals – if you are tired or need a break while trekking; horse riding can be an option in the route of Limi Valley. As the trekking trail is on the border with Tibet – to see Chinese trucks on the muddy road is normal.

    Beauty of the trekking trail is decorated with waterfalls, glacial lakes, mountains, river valleys. Major attraction of the trek is sighting Mt Kailash from Lapcha village.

    The trek starts from Simikot; the region is dominated by Buddhism. However the settlement of Hindu community is wide but scattered. Schools, monasteries and primary health posts are basic needs provided by villages in the Limi Valley region.

    People are relying on farming, livestock and tourism (in present). Interestingly people in this region go to Tibet for work and trade. Taklakot border can be accessed from Hilsa village of Limi valley.
