Deep in the heart of the Himalayas, nestled between the sweltering Indian subcontinent and the frozen plains of the Tibetan humlaplateau,
Humla lies hidden in the far northwest corner of Nepal. Shadows of the towering Saipal range and sacred Takh and Changla Himals loom over this barren forgotten basin of the mighty Karnali River. It is an area of geographical extremes with the elevation fluctuating between 1524 m – 7337 m, and an approximate population of 45,000. The natives still speak an archaic dialect of Tibetan and Nepali. Summer in Humla is pleasant while the winter is harsh and cold, leaving the region isolated and mostly snowbound.
Humla’s snow capped mountains; lush valleys, unique Trans-Himalayan plateau, rocky cliffs, quiet lakes, long streaming rivers and abundance of wildlife are major attractions for visitors. The soul of Humla however, is the people and their culture. During the medieval period of the Khasa Malla dynasty, Humlis from a part of the Karnali region, were a powerful empire led by the potent Buddhist Dharmarajas. Today they are peaceful people, leading a simple rural life in harmony with their environment.
Though remote, its prosperous geography has given birth to a rich niche for natural products. Its wealth of flora and fauna make Humla the home of many natural products of high value, while typical Humli handicrafts are slowly making their way into the local market. Now everybody who travel this destination renowned that this is the real place to travel and "Hidden Himalayas". We will visit so many ethnic village including Nyinba villages.
