Overview

Humla Limi Valley trek, follow the pilgrim route across the mountain highways to the remote Language Pressure in the Humla region near the Tibetan border made up of Khas (Hindus) and Tibetan (Buddhist). completely separated from the superficial world, these people retained their Buddhist culture in an unusual natural environment.Limi can be a remote valley in the northwestern part of Asia on the Tibetan border. These are the 3 sites located on the banks of the Karnal stream.

Humla Limi’s stressful journey was only for immigrants who got well in 2002. Across the border in Tibet is the holy mountain of Mt. Kailash (6638m) is sacred to Buddhists, Hindus, and followers of Bon.

The routes lead to the towns of Yak high among the mountains, among the cultivated farms, the lesser-known valleys, and the rich Buddhist villages of Tibet wherever the ancient local customs practice these days.

The journey is at the beginning of a 1000-year-old religious settlement. . If you are lucky you will get a glimpse of the big weird cat and the various blue sheep.  Tibet overflows into Nepal!
