MT. KAILASH
( Precious Jewel of Snow )
A good late spring trek would be the highland route from Jumla to Simikot, the largest village in the remote Humla district. In May of 1993, the government of Nepal and China reached an accord that allowed the first treks across the border between the two countries. While it had been a route for Nepal into Tibet. Although it is primarily a pilgrimage trek to Mt. Kailash in Tibet, the trek to Humla, Nepal's highest, northernmost and most remote district is worth the trek by itself. The lower Himla, Limi valley and upper Humla Karnali valley are populated by Bhotias who trade extensively with Tibet vanished elsewhere. It is only near the remote Simikot, the district headquarters of the remote Humla district, that you will encounter people of other groups, mostly Thakuri and Chertis. The path north of Simikot allows tourist to cross the Tibetan border to the fascination tri-culture-trading town of Purang. Lake Manasarovar and Mt. Kailash, the sacred center of the Buddhist and Hindu Universe are only a days drive north .This route is preferable to long, tough overland journey across western Tibet and would draw many trekking to western Tibet.
