Simikot Humla Jumla Trekking

The Simikot trek offers a unique and adventurous exploration of western Nepal, taking trekkers through the remote regions of Humla and Simikot. This journey allows for an immersive experience in the lush forests, along rivers, and through the culturally rich villages of the area, providing insight into the lives and traditions of the diverse Nepali people. Along the way, trekkers will encounter alpine caravans, trek through picturesque hills and villages, and camp amidst the natural beauty of the region.

The trek begins with a domestic flight from Nepalgunj to Simikot, followed by a journey through trails that lead toward the Tibetan border-crossing villages. The path follows the Karnali River, ascending over the Nara-la pass and descending steeply to the Tibet border at Hilsa. This route offers an exceptional trekking experience, while also serving as a gateway to Tibet, making it ideal for those planning Mansarovar and Kailash tours.

A major highlight of the trek is a visit to Rara National Park, Nepal’s smallest national park, which is home to Rara Lake, the largest lake in the country. Situated at an altitude of 2,990 meters, the lake spans 10.8 square kilometers and is surrounded by coniferous forests. The park is also a sanctuary for a variety of wildlife, including musk deer and the Himalayan black bear, making it one of the finest parks in the world.

This trek offers not only an extraordinary adventure through some of Nepal’s most untouched landscapes but also a deep cultural journey into one of the most remote and hidden corners of the country.
