Upper-Lower Dolpa Circuit

30 Days

Dolpo region is a challenging, remote trek with high passes and incredible mountain scenery.

It is a tough, mountainous region of azure blue lakes, high passes and fortified villages. Immortalised in Peter Matthiessen’s book ‘The Snow Leopard’ and Eric Valli’s classic film ‘Himalaya’, Dolpo still retains its air of remoteness and mystery.
