Humla-Simikot- Raling Monastery- Nhin Valley(camping)

Raling Monastery-Nhin Valley Trek is one of the most fulfilling treks in west Nepal which allows you to peek into the Nyinba culture and tradition preserved in one of the remotest parts of the country, Humla. The off-the-beaten trek to Nhin Valley offers intimacy with pristine nature along with the pure culture of the Nyinba community without having to trek strenuously for long days. This trek serves a culture enthusiast right with the visit to Raling Monastery, one of the holiest monasteries of Tibetan Buddhism.

This 12 days Nhin Valley Trek starts with your arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport. After a short stay in the capital, the trip continues with a flight to Nepalgunj followed by another flight to Simikot, which is both the starting and the ending point of the trek. The overall trek features the stunning landscape of the less trodden paths of Humla and the distinct culture of Nhin valley. Nhin valley is a beautiful place inhabited by Nyinba (Nhinba), a Tibetan community, with their distinct culture, language, and tradition. The trek takes you to the 4 villages inhabited by Nyinba community: Tangshyod (Buraunse), Barkhang (Baragaun), Todpa (Torpa), and Nimatang (Limatang). All of these villages are around half to two hours stroll away from the well-known pilgrimage site, Raling Gompa, which belongs to the Nyingmapa Sect of Buddhism and is considered the holiest monastery among the Nyinba community. The trip also offers the majestic view of Crystal Peak and Changla Himal Range. All in all, this trip provides an opportunity to experience the pure form of ancient pre-Buddhist tradition, culture, and lifestyle.
