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
Nepals 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.
