Trekking in Nepal : Upper Dolpo and Annapurnas
A challenging, remote trek with high passes and incredible mountain scenery Waterfall in Dolpo and Annpurnas
Upper Dolpa TrekkingTrekking in the Dolpo region has only been permitted since mid-1989. The region lies to the west of the Kali Gandaki Valley; Dolpo is located inside the Shey-Phoksundo National Park in mid-western Nepal, behind the Dhaulagiri massif, towards the Tibetan plateau. The region offers opportunities to visit ancient villages, high passes, beautiful Lakes, isolated Buddhist monasteries and also to experience the vast array of wildlife inhabiting the region, including Blue sheep, Mountain Goat, Jackal, Wolf and the legendary Snow Leopard. This remains a truly isolated corner of Nepal, time has stood still here for centuries as inhabitants of Tibetan stock continue to live, cultivate and trade. A vision of beauty, the Phokshindo (Ringmo) and the legendary monastery of the pre-Buddhist Bonpo sect is our momentous destination. As the most remote and least developed district in Nepal, this trek is reserved for those with a true sense of adventure.
Most treks into Dolpo take from 21 days. The best time to trek here is towards the end of the monsoon season Sept to November. This trek start and end at Jomsom/Juphal and another ideal trek start from Juphal and ending at Jomsom Pokhara.
