    Trip Overview

    Lower Dolpo trek is an exciting 18 days journey to relish the pristine beauty and rugged terrain in one of the remote places of Nepal. The lower Dolpo was opened for trekking in 1989 however the region has remained untouched and unexplored due to its isolated location. The lower Dolpo lies in an isolated corner in the Trans Himalayas of Nepal which is naturally very rich in Himalayan valleys and resembles to the Tibetan highlands. Lower Dolpo Trek is a superb combination of mountain views, high passes, fantastic landscape, lush valleys, beautiful lakes with Tibetan Buddhist influenced culture with nomadic people who practice their ancient traditional culture and lifestyle.

    The 18 days Lower Dolpo Trek begins from Jhupal that takes us to some outstanding remote locations that lies in the backdrop of beautiful Himalayas. The colourful barren slopes of the mountains are alluring that reflects the wilderness of the region. We walk through the virgin territory that is very rarely walked by outsiders. The trail to Lower Dolpo graces three high passes namely Kangmara La, Baga La and Numa La which is a great achievement of our journey.

The pleasing moment of cherishing the beauty of tranquil Phoksundo Lake is the major attraction of this trekking journey.
