Trip Overview

The Limi Valley Trek is a remote and less-traveled trek located in the far western region of Nepal, within Humla District. This trek offers a unique blend of stunning landscapes, cultural richness, and a sense of adventure due to its isolation. The Rinchhenling Monastery in Halji is one of the oldest and most significant monasteries in the region. The trek passes through traditional Tibetan Buddhist villages such as Til, Halji, and Jang, where you can observe the local way of life, visit ancient monasteries, and experience Tibetan culture and hospitality.

  • The trek takes you through pristine landscapes, including deep valleys, high mountain passes, and picturesque Tibetan-influenced villages.
  • You'll encounter diverse flora and fauna, including the possibility of seeing rare wildlife like snow leopards, blue sheep, and Himalayan wolves.
