Upper Dolpo Trekking

Trip code NAP-UDOL-406

Dolpo is an ancient Tibetan kingdom located in the north east part of Nepal. It was only opened to trekkers in 1990. The Himalayan range can be seen in all its splendor and Phoksondo Lake with the Ringmo village provide some of the most beautiful Nepalese scenery. We follow the ancient Tibetan salt caravan route, across two high passes and through the wilderness in one of Nepal’s most remote areas. There are four main ethnic groups – Lama, Baiji, Gurung, and Rokaya – living in nineteen villages that are mostly located on the outskirts of the National Park. The Shey Phoksundo National Park contains a remarkably intact cultural heritage that goes back many centuries. It retains a living pre-Buddhist religion which is active in the everyday life of the people, along with its places of worship and pilgrimage. A pure form of Trans humane, with livestock moving to upland pastures in summer, is still being practiced. This is a unique trek to visit Bon Monasteries and learn about this hidden and preserved culture far away from roads and electricity in a lonely and stunning landscape. Dolpa also the famous for filmmaker Eric valley chose the district for visualizing his Oscar nominee Caravan. He selected Thinle of local Saldang as the main character. Caravan is famous internationally, especially in France and the film is still shown in cinema halls of major cities of France.

Upper Dolpo trekking start from Jhuphal, after two short flights to Nepalgunj on first day and to Jhuphal on second day. Trekking through nice village like Dho Tarap and Shey Gompa crossing through high and remote alpine area and passes take us to beautiful Shey Phoksundo Lake (3600m), from here we will trek back to Jhuphal where we catch flight to Kathmandu. As this is also Nepal's demanding trek and goes through high pass and remote area of the country where we should make lot of ascend and descend we therefore recommend attempting only for experience trekkers.
