Raling Monastery and Nyinba Valley Cultural Trek
Major Attractions: Nyinba Valley consisting of four villages inhabited by Bhotia community; unique village structure resembling Buddhist Mandala; Mt Shelmogang (5,300 m), also known as Mount Crystal Peak and Ralling Gompa and Siddhi Caves of Guru Rimpoche, the power places and treasures of Humla.
This is the shortest yet one of the most culturally and scenically rewarding trek to experience Humla. The valley can be reached in a day's walk from Simikot. The trail also takes you to Kharpunath temple where Karnali from west Tibet and Chang/Dozam confluence and becomes Karnali River, the longest and holiest river of Nepal.
The crystal peak can also be scaled (June-October), but you require extra days to do so.
