Highlights of the Trek

Opened to trekking in 1989, the Dolpo region is hard to match for its pristine beauty and rugged charm. Lying in the rain shadow area of the Himalaya, the landscape resembles that of the Tibetan Plateau instead of the lush green , monsoon watered hills, elsewhere in Nepal, at comparative altitudes.

Possibly the last sanctuary of Bon Po, a Shamanistic religion that pre-dates Buddhism, the home of rare Himalayan animals like the shy Snow Leopard, Tibetan Hare and the Himalayan Weasel it falls within the Shey-Phoksumdo National Park in western Nepal. Lake Phoksumdo, the Blue Lake, and the ancient monasteries in the villages around it are the focal point of a trip to this region. The Kanjiroba Himal provides a panoramic backdrop to complete the experience.

Grade : Challenging 
These treks will involve some high altitude activity and the occasional pass-crossing with walks of up to 9 hours per day and altitudes not exceeding 6000 meters. Be aware of the physical and mental needs of this type of trek. You will need to be fit and the preparations for the moderate trek apply here too. Level of fitness is unrelated to altitude sickness and you cannot be sure that you will not suffer some mild symptoms. Slow and steady is the key to enjoyment.
