Limi is a small valley near to Mt Kailash in the western Nepal. Limi Valley lies in Humla district of Nepal, connected very near to the mountains from Tibet. Limi valley trek is composed of 3 different villages together; those 3 villages are Tila, Hilji and Dam. Limi valley is very less known trekking region of Nepal with off the beaten trekking route long the villages off the sight of Nepal government. Ironically the 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. Limi Valley is different from other treks for 2 major reasons; firstly you can see Mt Kailash without going to Mansarobar lake which lies in the 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 region in an entire region – however the beauty of Nature is stunning. From Limi valley trek you can also see Kailash Mountain. Starting trip from Kathmandu, you need to take 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 the 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 trail, local villages and pristine beauty of nature in different state. Trekking trail often goes on the season motor roads.
