After reaching
an accord 1993 of Nepal and China Government, it has been allowed
to trek across the border between the two countries. While
it had been a route for Nepalese pilgrims for years, foreign
trekkers were never allowed to trek from Nepal into Tibet.
The journey through Humla, Nepal's highest, northernmost and
most remote district, is culturally and scenically rewarding.
A trip to Mt Kailash has always been regarded as a pilgrimage.
It satisfies the romantic in us that the pilgrimage to Kailash
is a difficult one. We have combined such a nice adventure
tour with the opening up of the border crossing between Nepal
and Tibet via Taklakot (Purang), Mt. Kailash is now accessible
for foreign trekkers with 6 days of trekking from the beautiful
region of Simikot (3900 M). For this trek we follow the Humla
Karnali route and trek through rice and wheat fields, through
surging waters of the Humla Karnali, meet well-educated friendly
monks who speak excellent English and yes, see some of the
finest views nature has to offer.

| Clients Reference |
I did a 31 day trip from Nepal to
Tibet with Holiday Mountain Treks. We started off with
a 6 day trek from Simikot to the Tibetan border, followed
by the Kailash Kora, and drove to Guge, and from there,
travel back to Lhasa, travelling through almost 3 quarters
of the length of Tibet. It was a tough but amazing trip.
I'd like to thank Mr. Malla for organising the trek for
me. He went through great troubles attaching me (a single
person travelling) to a group that was travelling on
around the same schedule and visiting the places I wanted
-- esp. the Guge Kingdom. I was well taken care of during
the trip despite some hiccups which I feel come with
the territory of travelling in tibet! Thank you for organising
this and I look forward to doing more treks in Nepal
with you, Abir!
