HUMLA: WHERE TIME STANDS STILL
Humla, a region located in the far northwest of Nepal, is popular for its remote and untouched natural and cultural scenery.
Not affected by modern culture because of its remote location, Humla has been able to preserve its traditional living style. The people here are their own bosses and majorly focus on trading, handicrafts, agriculture, and animal husbandry for their livelihood.
Various ethnicities like Thakuri and Tibetans in villages like Limi, Simikot, Yanchu, and Bargaun have been able to maintain their conservative lifestyle for over a century. The lack of modernity here offers visitors a serene and natural environment where they are able to experience what a lifestyle cut off from the world feels like, refreshing their minds and souls.
The strong bonds and cooperation of the people here during any sort of problem or festival will remind visitors of the importance of unity.
Thanks to these aspects, Humla lives up to its alias, “A Place Where Time Stands Still.”
THE ULTIMATE WILDERNESS ADVENTURE
The diversified and rocky landscape of this region is perfect for those seeking to test their limits. Furthermore, the rarely explored trails here provide a more challenging and enchanting experience compared to other trails.
Traversing past mountain passes such as Nyalu La Pass (4995 m) and Nara La (4620 m) provides magnificent and breathtaking views of various mountains like Mount Kailash (6638 m), Saipal (7031 m), Api (7132 m), and Byas (6670 m), re-igniting the flame of the soul through their sheer beauty.
Passing through serene alpine meadows and peaceful lakes offers travelers an opportunity to enjoy calm peace and silence, healing their fatigue. Dipping one’s leg into the crystal-blue rivers of this region makes them feel comfortable and refreshed as if they were in heaven.
Furthermore, the region is famous for being a protected area, allowing many wild animals, like snow leopards, and blue sheep, to live in peace. Flowers like the rhododendron and Yarsha Gumba are seen too.
