Monterosa Treks &  Expedition

Mount Api Himal (West) 7,100m. Expedition

17 April 2011
09 October 2010

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 Culi 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 extends over this barren forgotten basin of he mighty Karnali River.

It is the Shangrila 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 harsh cold in winter, leaving the region isolated and mostly snowbound.
