Limi Valley Trekking

The Limi Valley lies in north of Humla which is one of the most beautiful places in the Himalayas. Its natural tranquillity - both sensuous and rugged - gathers you into its fold of ancient charms and traditions that date back over a 1000 years. The Limi Khola (river) atributary of the mighty Karnali River flows and tumbles through the valley. Which runs northeast to southwest at an altitude of 4000m. About 1600 inhabitants live in Limi. Limi, unique and fascinating still possesses and practices its rich Tibetan traditions. But like elsewhere in the Himalayas, a way of life is fast disappearing. The people in Limi are facing tough times and a severe challenge of survival for themselves and their culture. It is becoming very difficult for them as their traditional sources of income are drying up. making wooden bowls, some of them very ornate, for ceremonial use in Tibet and China and the Pashmina trade were the major sources of income. In Limi, hardly any of the women or young girls speak Nepali, only their native tongue, Tibetan and only a handful are literate.
