Exploring the Remote Peaks of Western Nepal
Located in Darchula, the Api Nampa Conservation Area is one of the least visited areas. The trek leads to the base of Mt. Api, offering a remote expedition feel similar to early Mount Everest expeditions.
The region is home to the Sauka community. You will see a lifestyle completely removed from modern tourism and the commercialism of Everest trekking routes.
The area is a sanctuary for the snow leopard. The trek moves through sub-tropical forests to alpine pastures, offering diverse nature unlike the stark high altitude of the Everest summit approach.
Facilities are non-existent. You need a camping crew. This is true exploration, suitable for those who want to pioneer routes rather than follow the well-trodden Everest Base Camp trail.
If you want to experience the raw, untamed Himalayas away from the Everest trekking crowds, Api Nampa is your destination.
