Overview And Highlights

Trip Highlights

  • Shey Phoksundo National Park and its diverse collection of uncommon plants and animals
  • The mesmerizing splendor of Phoksundo Lake.
  • Behind the walls of Dhaulagiri, a vestige of ancient Tibetan culture.

 

Lower Dolpo Trekking offers an opportunity to explore an under-explored part of Nepal. Its remote location and the less populated area of the country makes it a suitable choice for those seeking a less touristy adventure.

The trek begins from Jhupal, an airstrip in the administrative town of Dolpo. Along the way, you will visit a number of villages. A few of these include Ringmo Village, which is a Bon settlement. These villagers are extremely friendly. You can also visit Chhyadul Gompa, a sacred pilgrimage site. There, you can learn more about the religion and culture of the Dolpo people.

Another highlight of the Lower Dolpo Trek is the pristine mountain views. This region is bordered by the Dhaulagiri and Tibetan Plateau, making for an exotic experience.

Lower Dolpo is also home to several Buddhist monasteries. In addition, the region is protected by the Shey-Phoksundo National Park, which is home to elusive snow leopards.

The trek is moderate, and it is perfect for novice trekkers. You can expect to cross two high passes. During the trek, you will experience a number of beautiful lakes, as well as Brahmin and Hindu cultures.

Throughout the trek, you will be supported by an English speaking guide. You will also be provided with top of the line gear, such as tents and camping equipment. During the trek, you will be offered standard meals, as well as teahouse accommodations.

As with any trek, there are a number of complications that you may encounter. Nevertheless, the trek is worth it.
