Jumla, Rara lake and Simikot Trek

Jumla, Rara lake and Simikot Trek


Maximum Altitude: 4300M.

Duration of Trek: 20 Days.

Grade: Medium to Hard 


This trek is offered as an extension to Trek Jumla to Rara, so this will add a further week to your trip. The journey north whilst rewarding in its beauty, is a difficult hike as one travels steeply up and then down from one gorge to another. This is the province of Humla, often referred to as the Hidden Himalayas and ups and down trails, will soon become your mantra.


Simikot is situated on an airy spur above the Humla Karnali River and you should take time to explore the town and some of the surrounding villages to discover a way of life that has barely changed in hundreds of years.


The best season is March to October.
