Humla is Nepal's highest, northernmost and most remote region which is culturally and scenically very rewarding to trek through. The people of the Northern Humla are Bhotia(many hundred years ago they are migrated from Tibet) people whose roots are in Tibet and they still enjoy the privilege to graze their animal in the Tibetan plateau.
