Fast Facts
- Humla is often known as the ‘Hidden Himalaya’ due to its remoteness
- The highest mountains of the region are Mt Api (7132m) and Mount Saipal (7031m)
- scape is part of a sacred Buddhist mandala, which has its centre at Mt Kailash and points in the surrounding landscape, stretching for hundreds of kilometres, corresponding to spiritual concepts
- Buddhist families practise polyandry, or the practise of a woman marrying a family of brothers. This has the practical benefits of preserving land in the family and keeping population down and Buddhist families are often more wealthy than the Hindu families of the region
- The ancient salt trade has traditionally been carried on goats rather than Yaks or mules as in other parts of Nepal
