Dolpo Trekking

Dolpo Trekking is a unique adventurous activity that offers a peek into both the wilderness of western Nepal and the rich culture of Bon Pos. Dolpa is an expansive mountainous region beyond the Himalayan range, whose culture and language is matches more to the Tibetan community than the communities in Nepal. Politically, it is the largest district of Nepal. People in the Dolpo region follow Bon Po religion, a religion followed by Tibetans before following Buddhism.

Dolpo region falls in Shey Phoksundo National Park. Shey Phoksundo Lake in the national park is dubbed a fresh water lake in the highest altitude of the world. A beautiful water-fall more than 1000 m high emerges from the end of the Shey Phoksundo water fall.

Dolpo region can be accessed from Jomsom or Beni in the east, Jumla in the west and Dunai in the South. Trekkers can either enter the region from a threshold and return the same path after trekking in the Dolpo region or exit through a different point.

Dolpo trek is a camping trek where we need to carry tents, sleeping bags and provisions for cooking. Trekkers are required to be in sound health condition for this trek. An upper Dolpo trek requires a special permit from Nepal government as it is adjacent to the Tibet Autonomous Region of China.
