Limi Valley Trek

17 Days

Limi Valley trek overview

Limi valley is a new trekking destination in Nepal. People use this route to fly to Mount Kailash on helicopter, by far. But as a trekking destination Limi valley has still been under the shadow of trekkers around the world.

On the trek of Limi valley, you can see the magnificent view of Mount Kailash but still pilgrimage tourist who travel to Mount Kailash do not trek in the valley but fly from Kathmandu to Simikot by plane and then take helicopter to get to the mount kailas itself. View of Mt Kailash in distance from this Limi valley trek is awesome, indeed!

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.

Trekking in Limi valley is composed activity of jungle walking, village tour, mountain trek, cultural exploration, traditional understanding, homestay, camping, glacial lake trek and many more.

In far western region of Nepal – Limi valley is self-isolated from the rest of Nepal and development is yet to reach in the area. Thus, trekking in the remote part of Nepal is more than just natural experience.

Magnificent waterfall – probably the tallest waterfall you will ever see – Limi valley trek is naturally stunning natural art.

Most importantly this trekking trail is everything about remote trek, new trail, cultural experience, natural exploration and no other trekkers at all. The entire trekking trail will be your own.

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.
