i had a chance to visit this remote visit on this october with couples of foreigners (Anette and Olav) and nepali frens (Radha, Bijay, Indra and Chandra). We moved to Nepalgunj on 26th of Asoj from Kathmandu after celebration of our festival dashain. I was so excited to visit humla for the first time in my life. But we didnot get any flights from nepalgunj, then we moved to Surkhet for Heli-search. It was another excitement for me. This was first time in helicopter for me. Finally we got helicopter and moved to Simikot, Humla. We all enjoyed with beautiful sceneries on the way from Surkhet to Simikot. All guys were busy in taking snaps.
We all reached there at 12.30 and moved to Nepal Trust, Where we had lunch. Two of us (Indra and Chandra) went to Syanda after meal for arranging CBR training and Diversity fair. Remaining guys stayed there and went to visit dalit groups in surrounding village with an 45 min walks. We all enjoyed the trip of 15 days in Humla.

Sirubari village is a totally Gurung village in Syanja district. It is a short drive and walk from Pokhara, one of the tourist hubs in Nepal.

The accommodation is simple but comfortable with good bedding and clean toilet facilities. The food is delicious and visitors can enjoy as a family member at the time of eating.
