From Nepalgunj to Simikot, the Limi Valley trek begins by air, and it begins from Simikot, the
Humla administrative headquarters. Trekkers will find hiking trails and religious trails throughout the year. At the border of China and Nepal, they can get a glimpse of Mount Kailash, Mount Saipal, Mount Mendun, and Ghur-La Hon. Along the way, there are natural waterfalls, freshwater fountains, and dense forests.

10 Upper Dolpo
Upper Dolpo is a remote area to the north of the Dhaulagiri mountain range in Mid-Western Nepal. Trekking to Upper Dolpo lets you explore remote areas and peek into the lives of people living in that isolated world. This remote and vast region of Karnali is rich in natural and cultural wealth. This isolated western part of Nepal is highly rewarded by nature with extremely amazing landscapes and serene beauty similar to those of the Roof of the World—Tibet. Upper Dolpo Trek Highlights: Dolpo People: Tibetan Buddhist Culture; Trek Around the Beautiful, Glacial Shey Phoksundo Lake: Visit the 800-year-old Shey Gompa, one of the most famous monasteries in Nepal. Have a true wilderness experience in one of the least-visited areas of Nepal.
There’s no denying that the Upper Dolpo trek is one of the harder and longer treks in Nepal, with several camps situated above 4500 meters and some high passes. But this makes it ideal for experienced trekkers on a return trip to Nepal who are looking for a new challenge and fresh sights. A high level of fitness is required, and an organized tour is essential, as there is little-to-no tourism infrastructure here. The trek passes many incredible and unforgettable sights: turquoise Shey Phoksundo Lake, snowy high passes, hidden valleys, the Shey Gompa monastery, and numerous fortified villages (dzongs).
Dolpo is within the rain shadow of the Himalayas, meaning that the landscape is dry and harsh. The locals used to have to rely on trade with Tibetans for their livelihoods. The people themselves are descendants of those who migrated from Tibet. The Upper Dolpo trek passes through many villages that bear evidence of the ancient trade route. While most inhabitants practice Tibetan Buddhism, there are also traces of the pre-Buddhist, shamanistic Bon religion in Dolpo. Upper Dolpo’s main international claim to fame is being featured in Peter Matthiessen’s classic travel memoir, The Snow Leopard. It is well worth reading if heading to Dolpo.
