| Fixed Departure - Api Himal Expedition |
|
| Fixed Departure: 10 September 2008, 16 April 2009 |
|
Api Himal (7100m) is Western Nepal’s highest mountain. The area is
remote
and untouched. Very few tourists have visited the region. This is the
country beyond, a wild and extremely beautiful mountain landscape full
of
exotic people, rapid rivers and pristine forest. This area is a very
remote
area with Virgin Nature, off beaten path, Mysterious culture and
panoramic
mountain's view of Nandadevi, Rajramba, Api Himal, Kappa Chuli Peak and
many
more.
There is also a lake called kalidhunga, which is about 2 hrs by
walking from base camp. This is one of the holy lakes of this area.
Deep in the heart of the Himalayas, nestled between the sweltering
Indian
subcontinent and the frozen plains of the Tibetan plateau, Humla lays
hidden in the far northwest corner of Nepal. Shadows of the towering
Saipal
range and sacred Takh and Changla Himals loom over this barren
forgotten
basin of the mighty Karnali River. It is an area of extreme
geographical
conditions with the elevation fluctuating between 1524m, 7337m, and an
approximate population of 45,000. The natives still speak an archaic
dialect of Tibetan and Nepali languages. Summer in Humla is pleasant
while
the winner is harsh and cold, leaving the region isolated and mostly
snowbound.
