About
The Limi valley is one of the few fabulous places to witness the vibrant Tibetan culture and lifestyle. This is possible because of the ongoing marital relationship between the people of Western Nepal and Tibet. You will trek on the ancient salt trading and pilgrimage route to the border of Nepal and China. It involves crossing the Nara Lagna 4,620 m and Nyalu La 4900 m passes, with magnificent views of the Himalayas.
You might have the opportunity to spot the elusive snow leopard, Himalayan Blue Sheep (bharal), musk deer, jackals and Kiangs, and Tibetan wild asses on this trek. This 18-day-long trip provides you with an insight into one of the less-visited parts of authentic Nepal. The trekking tour takes 15 days and is between moderate to strenuous toughness. It involves hiking several hours daily at high altitudes. The majority of this trek takes place above 3000 m. Therefore, you might feel some effects of high altitude. The best season for this trip is between May and October, as the passes will likely be under snow for the rest of the year.

Carry water purification options
Water sources exist but may require treatment; bring filters or purification tablets to stay hydrated safely.
