Trip Overview of Lower Dolpo Trek

Lower Dolpo trek begins after flights from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj to Juphal. From Juphal we follow the Tarap Chu River passing through Tarakot, Laini, Nawarpani and to Do Tarap. Do Tarap is a small village inhabited by Bon Po and Chaliba tribes, few Tibetans and Magars. The trail goes through some terraced fields at the beginning. And then the deep Georges, suspension bridges and pine trees. We can visit some famous local monasteries and enjoy scenic view of peaks and know about local culture. Then we ascend to cross Numa La pass which offers mesmerizing view of barren mountains of Dolpo to Dhaulagiri.

After crossing Baga La pass where you can have beautiful views of surrounding landscapes and snowcapped peaks of Kanjirowa range. Then after we descend to Ringmo and hike to Phoksundo Lake. Full of crystal deep blue fresh water, Phoksundo Lake is a gem of this region. Finally, we descend to Juphal airstrip to end our journey of a lifetime.

This trek takes you to the Shey-Phoksundo National Park – home to blue sheep, Himalayan black bear, and intangible snow leopards along with varieties of fauna. You will walk on primitive trade routes still in use between Tibet and Nepal. People here still lead a primitive life, yet they are friendly.

As this trek is demanding and goes through some high passes. You should be on your best physical form and some previous trekking experience is recommended.
