Wet, Wild and High Upper Dolpo Adventure 26 Days

Most treks into Dolpo take from 14 to 30 days. The best time to trek here is towards the end of the monsoon season Sept to November. Shorter Dolpo treks are possible by flying into the air strip at Jumla.

In the far reaches of Northwestern Nepal lies the extreme landscape of Upper Dolpo. The route begins by meandering through pine and cedar forest with views of the massive Dhaualgiri range in the background. The entrance to Dolpo lies beyond the Jangla Bhanjyang Pass, (4500m). At the head of the valley lay snow-capped peaks and the desolate Tibetan plateau beyond. Protected from rain, this region is dry where the Dolpo inhabitants have carved out a niche of survival in the harsh surroundings by trading with nearby Tibet. A vision of beauty, the Phokshindo (Ringmo) and the legendary monastery of the pre-Buddhist Bonpo sect is our momentous destination. As the most remote and least developed district in Nepal, this trek is reserved for those with a true sense of adventure.

Lying in the rain shadow area of the Himalayas, the landscape resembles that of the Tibetan Plateau instead of the lush, green, monsoon watered hills, elsewhere in Nepal, at comparative altitudes. The people, very pleasant by nature, are of Tibetan descent who follow the pre-Buddhist Bon religion. Their language is closely related to Tibetan. The elevation of the trails is from 1650 meters (5,412ft) to 5136 meters (16,846ft) above sea level.

Upper Dolpo trekking is famous for deepest Lake Phoksundo in entire Himalayan Region. Mother Nature created a unique and wonderful treasurer like Dolpo, which is being the shelter of many rare alpine living beings. Trek to Dolpo has often been called the Nepal Himalaya pilgrimage trekking and hidden valley trek created by Guru Rinpoche. Upper Dolpo trek is most suitable for those who are exceptionally fit and prepared to face the full challenge of the Himalayan wilderness and well-organized camping trekking , trekking in group is recommended also special trekking permit is required which you can obtain through Government registered trekking company of Nepal.

Upper Dolpo TrekFor the second time, under special consideration, this region has been reopened carefully by His Majesty's Government of Nepal. Set aside to protect the Trans Himalayan ecosystem, it was previously off limits to foreign visitors. The area resembles the high plateau of Tibet with typical flora, fauna and Tibetan hares have been sighted. This spectacular scenery of Lake Phoksundo is the highlight of this tour. And those who have read Peter Matheson's "Snow Leopard" will undoubtedly have nostalgic reminiscences. The journey into this area is well prepared and pre-planned due to its remoteness and ruggedness where food is scare and local porters are difficult to come by. If you are adventurous enough, this trip will excite you.
