2 Introduction Trek in the company of Tenzing Norgay s grandson share his immense knowledge, experience and passion for the Himalaya. A trek with real cultural interest where you will meet several different ethnic groups. Majestic Himalayan scenery and abundant wildlife. Top camping facilities on trek and a four-star hotel in Kathmandu. This is a pioneering trek in a remote corner of far west Nepal, one of the country's last true wildernesses. The idyllic Limi Valley is located in beautiful upper Humla which borders Tibet, and here traditional Tibetan culture has been far better preserved than across the border. You will see ancient monasteries, which are still very much in use today, and the friendly Limipas still follow an age-old way of life. Crossing two high passes, the trek, graded Moderate/Vigorous, follows a circuit around Chyoro Ri and is scenically and culturally diverse. There is an abundance of wildlife in the region and you stand a good chance of seeing blue sheep, mountain eagle and if you are very lucky, possibly even the elusive snow leopard. Strict government limits on visitor numbers ensures that the few visitors who make it here are warmly welcomed, and you will have ample opportunity to meet the friendly villagers of upper Humla. The trekking starts from Simikot (2,910m/9,547ft) following the beautiful Karnali River which flows from Tibet s Lake Manasarovar, the most holy lake in Tibet. Trekking through beautiful mountain scenery towards the border town of Hilsa, you will encounter three different ethnic groups - Chetries, Thakuries and Lamas. You climb the first high pass, the Nara Lagna La (4,500m/14,764ft) before Hilsa, and then from here head northeast to enter the Limi Valley. Once in the Limi Valley you trek through barley and buckwheat fields, passing the attractive stone villages villages of Til, Hilga and Jang. About 500 people live in the large village of Halgi whose beautiful meadows are surrounded by clear, icy rivers and set against a picture-perfect mountain backdrop. The Rizing Ling gompa (monastery) here is over 1000 years old and contains a selection of artifacts, paintings and relics from the Gergu pa sect. Leaving the Limi Valley you climb once again to the Nyalu La (4,950m/16,240ft). From this pass, weather permitting, there are sweeping views, which include Mount Kailas, the most holy Mountain in Tibet. Finally you descend to the lake of Selima Tso, and complete the loop back to Simikot via Kermi along the pine-forested Karnali gorge.

3 Trek leader and operator Tashi Tenzing Tashi was born in Darjeeling, India on 30 November 1965 youngest son of Pem Pem who is Tenzing Norgay's eldest daughter. Tenzing Norgay, with Sir Edmund Hillary, made the first ascent of Everest on 19 th May Tashi spent his childhood in Darjeeling, the famed British hill station and tea growing area. He attended St Paul's School a private boarding school in the strict British tradition. He made himself quite a name in the outdoor education field, excelling at distance and sprint running, soccer, cricket, gymnastics, karate, hockey and horse-riding as well as in more artistic pursuits such as oil painting and batik. Tashi then went on to the University of New Delhi to gain a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology. But his first love has always been the outdoors and, especially, climbing. He was solely responsible for establishing the Delhi University Climbing Club and excelled at all the climbing and outdoor adventure courses at the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute in Darjeeling. His grandfather, Tenzing Norgay, established this Institute after his ascent of Everest to offer professional climbing instruction to all Indian people. It now has a great tradition and a successful history of expeditions to the great Himalayan peaks. Tashi graduated from HMI as an instructor and still sometimes takes courses there as a guest instructor. Since leaving University, Tashi has been almost solely employed in leading trekking and climbing trips in Nepal, Tibet, Pakistan, Kashmir and the Indian Himalaya. He has trekked widely in Nepal especially the Everest region of course! and also in Kashmir, Ladakh, Sikkim and in the eastern Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. Since his childhood he has emulated his grandfather's love of mountain exploration and he has managed to maintain this quest by researching and leading many new treks and expeditions. However the desire to climb Everest has always been in Tashi's heart and his passion for this never waned. He knew one day his time would come. In 1993 Tashi led the 40 th Anniversary Everest Expedition to mark the 40 th anniversary of the first successful expedition of his grandfather, Tenzing Norgay Sherpa. At last his dream seemed in reach but it was also important to him for the sake of his Sherpa people who supported him to the fullest in this bid. His team were successful, getting two members to the summit on the 10 th May. Sadly Tashi's uncle and climbing partner, Lobsang Tshering, fell to his death on the descent from the summit. Tashi missed the summit by just 400m having to turn back with snow blindness. However, on 23 rd May 1997 Tashi at last succeeded in reaching the summit of Everest his life's dream fulfilled and the road now clear to take on new adventures. In 1998/99 he spent 9 months working for the Australian Antarctic Division at Mawson Station in the Antarctic and now plans to add guiding in this icy wilderness to his travel work. In August 2001 Tashi, with his first wife Judy, published his first book Tenzing and the Sherpas of Everest which pays tribute to the immense contribution the Sherpas, including his grandfather Tenzing, have made to Himalayan exploration and mountaineering. The book is published worldwide. February 2002 saw Tashi again in the Antarctic, guiding a climbing trip for Aurora Expeditions, Sydney. On May 16 th, 2002 Tashi made his second ascent of Everest with the Swiss Rolex 50 th Anniversary team to commemorate the gallant attempts made in both spring and autumn 1952 by Tenzing Norgay and his dear friend, Raymond Lambert. Tashi reached the summit with Apa Sherpa who has climbed Everest 21 times and Yves Lambert, son of the Swiss climbing legend. The dream of a father and grandfather are now fulfilled. Tashi is the narrator of the film of Expedition- Fulfilling your Dreams. On May Tashi made his third ascent of Mount Everest, this time from the Tibetan side, the North Face, guiding the first Czech Republic woman to the top.

4 Day-by-day itinerary DAY 1 MONDAY: ARRIVE KATHMANDU. On arrival in Kathmandu you will be transferred to the Shangri-La Hotel. Kathmandu is a wonderful mixture of the ancient alongside the modern - crowded bazaars still throng with colourful ethnic peoples today as they have for past hundreds of years while roads are crowded with cars, roaring motorbikes and buses belching out black smoke; ancient temples and crumbling shrines sit alongside modern offices, picturesque palaces slowly sag into dereliction while Buddhist stupas gaze over the bustling scene with their all seeing eyes. Meanwhile in the tourist hub of Thamel you will find restaurants and bars, shops and internet cafés. Although this is a crowded, noisy and polluted city it is also friendly, fascinating and vibrant a total mix of beauty and squalor. You will either love it or hate it! Tonight you may choose to eat at the hotel or you could head off into Thamel to one of the famous restaurants there, such as Rum Doodle Restaurant, a place frequented by trekkers and climbers alike, with pride of place given to a board with the signatures of many Everest summiteers. Overnight at Hotel. DAY 2 TUESDAY: AFTERNOON FLIGHT FLY TO NEPALGANJ (1 hr flight). Morning is free till lunch time.

Simikot is a small town with several different ethnic groups the Chetries, Thakuries and Buddhist lamas. Depending on the flight timings there may be time to start the trek to Dharapuri (4-5 hours trekking) otherwise you will stay overnight at the guest house in Simikot and start your trek.your day will start by climbing a rocky trail from Simikot airstrip, past wheat and barley fields, to a large rock cairn at the top of a forested ridge overlooking the town. The trail from here makes a long, unrelenting, steep descent through deep pine forest on a rock cluttered path with switchbacks. There are a few teashops with very limited stock but you will be able to get a local tea and soft drinks. The view from the trail down the Karnali valley is spectacular. After your steep descent the trail levels out and there is an easy traverse to the village of Tuling (a Thakuri village). Tuling is beautiful but very primitive. The campsite, in a lovely spot by the river, is about 45 minutes from the village near the Yakba Khola. DAY 4 THURSDAY: TREK TO KERMI (2,800m/9,186ft) VISIT HOT SPRINGS. 5-6 hrs trekking, 750m ascent, 230m descent. After a hearty breakfast you take the trail, and climb to a police check post where your guide will show the trek permit before you continue on to Dharapuri village. From the village it is a long traverse across a scree slope to a stream. Below the trail a bridge over the Humla Karnali leads to Khangkagaon, a Thakuri village on the opposite side of the river. This is the last Thakuri village and the upper limit of the rice cultivation in the Humla region. You will pass beautiful waterfalls as the trail climbs steeply through rock cliffs before lunch at a lonely teashop. After lunch the trail climbs up to the campsite at Dhara Kermi. The village and the hot springs are another 30 minutes from the campsite. Take time to relax in the hot springs the main pool has been lined with stones by the local villagers. DAY 5 FRIDAY: TREK TO YALBANG (3,072m/10,079ft) 300m ascent, 200m descent, 6 hours trekking. This is a fairly easy day with an easy climb and great views of the 7000m peak Mount Saipal. You continue to follow the Karnali River through pine forest before you drop from the Sali pass (3,113m/10,213ft) down to the Chumsa Khola or river where your lunch waits for you. After lunch it s a two hour walk to the camp site near the Alban School. You could visit the Namka Khyung Zong gompa, which is about 50 years old.

(Meals: B, L, D) DAY6 SATURDAY: TREK TO TOMKOT KHOLA (2,900m/9,514ft) 300m descent, 130m ascent, 5-7 hours trekking After breakfast you slowly ascend the scree slopes and start descending down towards the river take care on the loose rocks. The trail wends its way precariously close to the river on a track built up with rocks and wooden props on a few stretches where the path was blasted out of the cliff. After more than a few hours of ups and downs you will reach the suspension bridge (2,500m/8,202ft). Here you cross to the south bank of the Karnali River and climb up to the village of Much. You pass the village and the police check post and in the distance you can see the Sakya Monastery and the village of Tomkot on the top of the hill. The campsite is just below the monastery at Tumkot. Overnight camping. DAY 7 SUNDAY: TREK TO THARO DHUNGA (4,000m/13,124ft) 1,180m ascent, 120m descent, 7-8 hours trekking. (Meals: B, L, D) This is a long but absolutely beautiful day. You leave the Karnali River to your right and start ascending to a small pass, La Nangla (3,310m/10,860ft). About an hour after the pass the trail levels out and you can see the man-made road to the border with Tibet. Lunch will be waiting for you in Palbang. After lunch the trail climbs gradually up to the spread out village of Yari. To the west of the village a trail leads to the Sarpa La, a less used route to Tibet. This is the trail the Khampa leader Wagdi took in 1975 in an attempt to escape into India after the USA removed its support for the Tibetan resistance. He crossed into Tibet at an unmanned and isolated corner and re-crossed into Nepal via Tinkar Pass south of Taklakot, where the waiting Nepal army ambushed him. From the Yari village the campsite it is about another hour to Tharo Dhunga (4,000m/13,124ft) where you camp beside a large rock. Overnight camping. DAY 8 MONDAY: TREK TO HILSA (3,700m/12,139ft) 450m ascent, 860m descent, 5 hours trekking. (Meals: B, L, D) You could get snow on the pass so make sure you dress warmly today as it can get very cold. You start climbing up from the camp site to a meadow and stream at 4,160m/13,648ft and another meadow, Sipsip, near the foot of the pass. Despite the remoteness of the location, there is a considerable amount of traffic by the traders who are trading from the China border and who bring all sorts of goods to sell down in the Humla region. You will see lots of yaks, goats and horses carrying Chinese goods. Finally you come to the top of the Nara Langna pass (4,580m/15,026ft). If it is a clear day the views are stunning as you look down to the western Humla Mountain ranges. Take care again on your descent as there could be snow. A short distance below the pass you will get a panoramic view of the Tibetan plateau, the Humla Karnali River and the green fields of Sher far below. You also can see the trail across the valley towards the northeast on the way to Limi Valley. You take the road which contours around the mountains and finally heads down to the Hilsa Village. It s the last frontier of the Nepal border. There are a few stone houses in the village and you will camp in the back yard of a guesthouse. You cross the bridge and it is 150m to Sher village and the Chinese immigration check post. Overnight camping. DAY9 TUESDAY: TREK TO CHUK RANGMA VIA MANAPAME (4,164m/13,662ft) 950m ascent, 450m descent, 5-7 hours trekking After the police check post at Hilsa you cross the bridge and immediately start a steep ascent up the barren slope for an hour where you will meet the main trail which comes from Sher to the Limi valley. The undulating trail from here heads north east, looking down onto the Humla Karnali River, to a stone chorten (4,110m/13,484ft). The views are stunning, and you may see (Meals: B, L, D)

6 lamagier mountain eagles, blue sheep and keep a look out for snow leopards. The trail from here is wellmaintained; it crosses a rock slide and then climbs above a recent landslide. You take the upper new trail over the top of the landslide and drop down to meet the original trail on the opposite side. Lunch at Manepeme (4,014m/13,169ft) is behind a ridge in a large side canyon near a stream. Manepeme is named for a huge stone that is carved with a mantra Om Mane Padme ome. After lunch the trail weaves in and out of ravines on the side of the valley, climbing gradually towards the foot of the rock face. You ascend to the foot of the cliff climbing to a ridge at 4,164m/13,662ft where you will camp. From this camp site there is a great view east looking towards the Limi valley and to the south where the Humla Karnali River turns and flows through a steep gorge. DAY 10 WEDNESDAY: TREK TO TIL CHU (3,580m/11,745ft) 610m ascent, 970m descent, 5-7 hours trekking This is an exciting day as you will see the first village in the Limi valley. You climb steeply again from the camp site to the Lagna pass (4,300m/14,108ft) from where you get your first view of the Limi valley and the green fields of Halji in the distance. The trail descends to a tiny stream then continues down and crosses a slope. You climb over two rocky ridges and make a short descent to two chortens that mark the end of the ridge above Til Chu. Here you get your first glimpse of Til Gompa across the valley and the barley fields of Til village, and then descend to a fantastic campsite at the confluence of Takchi Chu and Til Chu. Near the camp site there is a snow leopard trap - there is one near each village in Limi valley due to snow leopards killing the villagers livestock. DAY 11 THURSDAY: TREK TO JANG HOT SPRING VIA HALGI (4,099m/13,448ft) 440m ascent, 90m descent, 5-7 hours trekking This morning you follow the Takchi Chu River, crossing it on a wooden bridge, and pass a barley field before arriving at Halji (3,670m/12,041ft). We would recommend a visit to the Rijziling gompa, in the heart of Halji village. The Gompa is over 1,000 years old and about 30 monks live there. The total population of Halji village is around 500. The people of Halji grow barley once a year and they also trade with China - this village, surrounded by willow trees and great mountain ranges to the north, is probably one of the most beautiful villages in the area. After lunch you continue to follow the river and then climb steeply to the ridge at 3,850m/12,631ft from where you descend to the deserted police check post at Sunkhani. The trail starts to undulate and becomes rockier. A series of irrigated barley fields mark the beginning of Jang village (3,930m/12,894ft) (also called Jyanga), an impressive stone village with a white gompa. The people of Limi make wonderful, well-finished wooded bowls from pine, birch and maple trees that grow on the south side of the river and should you wish you can buy them from the local people. The demand for the bowls and the scarcity of the maple trees mean that the Limi people have had to source an alternative supply of wood from Kumaon in Northern India. The bowls, however, are still made in the Limi valley. You pass the village and after about a 45 minute walk up the hill you come to a fantastic camp site with hot springs, the perfect temperature for you to enjoy! This is a lovely place to have a rest day and explore as much as you can of the Limi valley. DAY 12 FRIDAY: REST DAY. A day to explore the valley, catch up on some washing or just relax in the hot springs. DAY 13 SATURDAY: TREK TO TALUNG, 450m ascent, 6-7 hours trekking. After a good rest you now continue across the meadows, jumping across a few small streams, and then climbing over a rocky ridge. The trail however is mostly level and makes for very pleasant walking. Crossing a bridge you head south to Talung, passing the sand dunes that form the lake of Tshom Tso. Below this plateau is Gumma Yok (4,170m/13,681ft) which was once the most important villages in Limi. The village was abandoned many years ago but you can still see the remnants of a few buildings. You can either cross the river by foot or, if you don t want to get wet, take the alternative route, which takes about an extra half an hour and passes a little hot spring en route. Once across the river it is about an hour of ascent to the camp site at Talung. This area is also used for grazing yaks and cattle in the summer time (June to August) by villagers in the Limi valley. Overnight camping. (Meals: B, L, D)

7 DAY 14 SUNDAY: TREK TO SINJUNGMA VIA NYALU PASS (4,990m/16,372ft), 610m ascent, 1,140 descent, 7-8 hours trekking. This morning you climb to the next valley and cross the meadows to the foot of the pass, and the last of the shepherds huts at the foot of the Dimochu, the huge glaciated peak dominating the head of the valley. Now the hard work begins as you head east into a rocky valley at the foot of the climb to the pass. After about two hours you come to some rock cairns and finally the pass at 4990m. On a clear day you can see Mt Kailash (the holiest Mountain in Tibet). From here you will get spectacular views of the northern Himalaya. Below the pass the trail makes a U turn and heads south. Descending along the moraine you pass a small lake and then follow the Salie River all the way down to the campsite at Chungsa or Shinjugma. DAY 15 MONDAY: TREK TO DHARAPURI 7 HOURS (2,500m/8,205ft After breakfast we trek through some beautiful forest and meet our old trail back to Kermi and simikote Camp overnight at Dharapuri.
