Total duration for this trip can be 23 days, depends on walking distance, weather condition and place to visit. Flight to Simikot or fly back from Simikot is more weather depended and it is better to use one way only since you need to follow the same trail on the way back. Following the Karnali River valley it is one of the nice trail to follow. Since the road from Tibet is planned to connect with simikot air port, this trail will not be trekking trail any more in years to come. High mountain lives, green river valley, sheep and yaks heard, snow-cap mountains, this is really one of the nice treks in Nepal.

At least 4 people in one group is better to have. The cost of the trips depend on the duration and size of group. If you are group of seven+ and interested to start or end the trek from or to Simikot the trek.

So when on your adventure or culture we would request you to be flexible and accommodating in the event of landslides, road blocks, vehicle breakdown, inclement weather and any other unexpected causes.
