Artikel trekking Humla

June is the edge of the monsoon: wet and leech-prone in the south, but one of the best months for Upper Dolpo and a workable one for Upper Mustang, Humla and the north side of the Annapurna Circuit.

What trekking in Humla and the Limi Valley involves: the restricted-area permit, flights to Simikot, the three Tibetan villages, the high passes and who should attempt the 18-day loop.

Which far-west Nepal trek to choose: Khaptad's meadows, Api Base Camp and the Limi Valley compared on permits, flights, roads, difficulty and season, with the logistics that decide the trip.
