Upper Dolpo Trek -24 Days

The Upper Dolpo Trek is an adventurous journey through one of Nepal’s most remote and untouched regions, located in the rain shadow of the Himalayas. This trek offers a genuine sense of isolation, immersing you in traditional Tibetan culture and stunning natural landscapes. As you traverse high-altitude deserts, lush valleys, and rugged terrain, you’ll encounter ancient Tibetan architecture and visit vibrant villages like Dunai and Ringmo. The trek highlights include the stunning Shey Phoksundo Lake, renowned for its striking turquoise color, and the ancient Shey Gompa monastery, a spiritual and cultural gem. The route takes you through high mountain passes like the Sela La, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and the chance to spot rare wildlife such as snow leopards and blue sheep. This trek requires special permits for the restricted Dolpo region, and proper acclimatization is essential due to the high altitudes. The best times to undertake this trek are during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November), when the weather is more stable. Overall, the Upper Dolpo Trek is perfect for those seeking a challenging adventure and an immersive cultural experience away from the more popular trekking routes in Nepal
