Simikot Travel Guide

Nepal

Simikot is a very small town in north-west Nepal, with a population of 568. It is a Himalayan settlement rather than a coastal destination, so the main reason to visit is its mountain setting and access to the surrounding region.

Most travellers arrive by air at Simikot Airport, the town’s listed airport. There are no notable beaches within 40 kilometres of Simikot, and the nearest coastline is far beyond the surrounding Himalayan area.
