Dolpo region is a challenging, remote trek with high passes and incredible mountain scenery. Found in between the Tibetan Plateau and Dhaulagiri Himal and still culturally Tibetan, Dolpo is one of the highest inhabited places on earth. 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.

Overview

Upper Dolpo trek is a challenging, remote trek with high passes and incredible mountain scenery.Found in between the Tibetan Plateau and Dhaulagiri Himal and still culturally Tibetan, Dolpo is one of the highest inhabited places on earth. It is a tough, mountainous region of azure blue lakes, high passes and fortified villages. Immortalized in Peter Matthiessen’s book ‘The Snow Leopard’ and Eric Valli’s classic film ‘Himalaya’, Dolpo still retains its air of remoteness and mystery. Our trek begins after a spectacular flight along the Himalayas to Juphal. We then follow the Suli Gaad River to the glistening Phoksundo Lake from where we head east to Dho. Those who enjoy wild, untouched areas will love this initial exploratory part of our trek as we cross high passes with breathtaking views on our challenging route to Lower Mustang. This amazing journey finishes in Jomsom, from where we fly to Kathmandu.
