The trek from Jumla to Hilsa via Rara and Simikot is an adventurous trekking route in the western part of Nepal. The route takes you through remote valleys, over high passes, and past picturesque lakes and villages, offering a unique combination of breathtaking nature and cultural experiences. The trek begins in the main town of Jumla, in the district of the same name (unless there is an option to fly to Rara, in which case the trek would start at Rara). Along the way, you have an opportunity to experience the unique culture and lifestyle of the local communities. After leaving the Jumla Valley behind, you reach Rara Lake, one of the largest lakes in Nepal. Rara Lake is known for its clear waters and stunning natural beauty. You can camp on the shores of the lake and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the surroundings. From Rara, the trail continues to Simikot, the capital of the Humla region. Simikot is an important trading center and a cultural hub for the indigenous communities. You can admire the traditional architecture of the houses and learn about the local culture and way of life. From Simikot, the trail leads further to Hilsa, a small village on the border with Tibet.
