Api Himal Trek

This is the trek into the quite remote far-western region of Nepal. The name of the trek is derived from Api Himal (7132 m) which is considered as the highest mountain in the far-west Nepal. This region is quite remote and unexplored and until now, very few tourists have set their feet into this pristine region. The real wilderness of the nature can be experienced along the trekking trail. Spectacular views of the mountains, landscape, and cultural diversity, rapid and meandering rivers, pristine forests and fresh water lake at an elevation of 4200 m, are the main attractions and highlights of the trip. Besides the scenic beauty and mysterious culture, the region also offers a panoramic view of the 7,817 m. Mt. Nandadevi of Uttar Pradesh, India, Thado Dhunga Tuppa (5,368m.), Api Himal (7132 m) Rajamba (6,537m.), Kapchuli (6850 m. also known as Jethibahurani) , Saipal himal (7031 m) and many other peaks.

The region is quite popular for bird watching as well. Agriculture is the main occupation of the local people and the mixed local community includes Chhetri, Mahara, Bohora, Thekare, Jhakari and Lohar (iron-smith). Also a nomadic community known as “Raute” is found in this area.
