Find my trekking partner

Limi Valley Trek is a 18-day trek in the Humla region of Nepal that climbs to 4,940 m. Foreign trekkers can find a partner for it on FindTrekkingPartner by posting a trip with their dates, budget and pace. Matches stay private until both trekkers agree, and the service is free. At mid-range rates a licensed guide costs about USD 168 per person over 18 days when four trekkers share, against USD 672 for one trekker alone. The best seasons are Apr–Jun, Sep–Nov. This is a restricted area, so a licensed guide hired through a registered agency is part of the permit, and the whole group travels on one agency permit. Open trips for this route are listed below, with start month, group size and spots left. Last verified: October 19, 2026. Sources: Nepal Tourism Board, DNPWC, Department of Immigration.

Partner tips for Limi Valley Trek

  • Humla is a restricted area, so the whole group travels under one agency permit with a licensed guide. Everyone must be on the same dates, so agree them before applying.
  • Match on the start day before anything else: on Limi Valley Trek a one-day difference at the start changes every lodge booking and acclimatisation stop.
  • Agree the pace for the longest days and the highest nights, not for the easy start. Ask partners how they handled their last trek above 3,000 m.
  • Put the guide fee, porter share and tip split in writing before you book. The three-line template in our guide takes five minutes.
  • Decide now what happens if someone turns back: who keeps the guide, and how costs are split for the days walked.

Limi Valley Trek: questions trekkers ask

Find my trekking partner

Reported since 22 March 2026: a single trekker can apply for a restricted-area permit, but the guide and agency are still required. Confirm with your agency. Humla is a restricted area, so a licensed guide and a permit issued through a registered agency are still required. Trekking with partners splits those costs.

With 4 trekkers the licensed guide works out at about NPR 22,500 each instead of NPR 90,000 alone (estimate, mid-range, 18 days). Jeeps and porters split the same way.

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.
