Lower Dolpa Trek

Lower Dolpa trek offers a real adventure and outstanding trekking experience on remote and rugged natural Himalayan valleys across western Nepal. Once Legend says it's a one of the "hidden valleys”, created by Guru Rinpoche as the refuge for devout Buddhists in troubled time period. Moreover this trek offers opportunities to visit ancient villages, high passes, beautiful lakes and isolated Buddhist Monasteries and temples.

Our trek starts by taking our flight to Jhupal via Nepalgunj and the real trek begin through remote locations admiring the beautiful and magnificent rain shadow landscape of the Himalayas. The trail passes through Shey-Phoksundo National Park where you can see the crystal blue deep Shey- Phoksundo lakes before joining ancient Nepal-Tibet trade route and enjoy the great views of lower Dolpa valley. The lake is totally free of aqua life, and is surrounded by rock, green forests, and snow- capped peaks. This area has been described as one of the World's Natural Hidden Wonders. The trek reflected in the colorful barren slopes of the mountains where the play of lights and shadow is a perpetual fascinating spectacle. This is one of the few areas where the pre-Buddhist Bon Po religion is still practiced by the local communities. During our trek, we cross two high passes namely - Numa La and Baga La and this trek has also been on the list of demand. From those two passes you can see excellent views of Dhaulagiri range, Nilgiri, Kyangyu Ripa, Annapurna range and many other snowy mountains.

The best months for the Lower Dolpa trek are Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to October). Since Dolpo region lies in the rain shadow area formed by the two peaks Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges, you can also easily take this trip during the Monsoon season (June to August).
