Api Himal (7100m) is Western Nepal's
highest mountain. The area is remote and untouched. Very
few tourists have visited the region. This is the
country beyond, a wild and extremely beautiful mountain
landscape full of exotic people, rapid rivers and
pristine forest. This area is a very remote area with
Virgin Nature, off beaten path, Mysterious culture and
panoramic mountain's view of Nandadevi, Rajramba, Api
Himal, Kappa Chuli Peak and many
more. There is also a lake called kalidhunga, which is
about 2 hrs by walking from base camp. This is one of
the holy lakes of this area.
Deep in the heart of the Himalayas, nestled between the
sweltering
Indian subcontinent and the frozen plains of the Tibetan
plateau, Humla lays 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 extreme geographical conditions with the
elevation fluctuating between 1524m, 7337m, and an
approximate population of 45,000. The natives still
speak an archaic dialect of Tibetan and Nepali
languages. Summer in Humla is pleasant while
the winner is harsh and cold, leaving the region
isolated and mostly snowbound. |
