Lower Dolpo Trekking – Discover Remote Himalayan Wilderness
Trekking in Dolpa offers a truly unforgettable adventure into one of Nepal’s most isolated and pristine regions. The trail traverses diverse landscapes—from lush green meadows to rugged rocky terrain—that gradually transition toward the vast Tibetan Plateau.
One of the trek’s highlights is the breathtaking Phoksundo Lake, renowned for its striking deep blue and vibrant green hues, framed by towering, steep cliffs. Due to Dolpa’s remote location, it remains an off-the-beaten-path destination, perfect for travelers seeking solitude and authentic cultural encounters.
Along the route, you’ll explore traditional villages where Tibetan Buddhist and Bonpo cultures flourish, deeply embedded in daily life. This trek is physically demanding, with steep ascents and descents, including crossing two high mountain passes: Numa La (5,318m) and Baga La (5,190m). These passes require endurance and careful acclimatization.
Best Season: April to November.
Note: In April and November, some teahouses may be closed due to weather conditions, so a camping-organized trek is highly recommended.
