Simikot, the capital of Humla District in Nepal's Far Western Province, is situated at a high altitude of about 2,900 meters above sea level in the western section of the Himalayas and is an important gateway to the traditional trade routes between Nepal and Pran District of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. As the political, economic and cultural center of Humla region, Simikot is the starting point for trekkers to enter the remote mountainous region of Nepal, from where they can trek across the Trekking Pass to Tibet, enjoying the magnificent snow-capped mountains, pristine highland ecosystems, and unique Tibetan culture along the way. -The local population is mostly of Tibetan origin, preserving ancient Buddhist customs and lifestyles. Due to the high altitude, the climate is cold and dry, with a significant temperature difference between day and night. April-June and September-November are the best travel seasons, offering a deep experience of both adventure and cultural exchange.
