Experience the adventure of a lifetime with our Upper Dolpo Trek package, which takes you to one of the remotest and least explored regions in Nepal. Nestled in the northwest region of Nepal, Upper Dolpo boasts unparalleled natural beauty and cultural richness.

During your trek, you will get to witness the unique culture and traditions of the local people, as well as explore the original Tibetan religion of Bon, which predates Buddhism. The trek also offers a chance to visit the Shey Phoksundo National Park, the largest national park in Nepal, and the Shey Phoksundo Lake, the deepest lake in Nepal.

Despite being thinly vegetated and shadowed by seasonal rain, the Upper Dolpo region is home to a rich variety of medicinal herbs. To preserve the unique culture, ancient traditions, and exceptional ecosystem, the Upper Dolpo region is restricted and requires a special permit.

Our 24-day trek package includes a visit to major attractions in the Kathmandu Valley before flying from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj and then to Jhuphal, the starting and ending point of the Upper Dolpo Trek. The trek is long and strenuous, requiring a physically fit body with previous trekking experience. Spring and autumn are the best seasons to plan this trek.

You will enjoy bed and breakfast in Kathmandu and full board (meals and accommodation) during the trek. Accommodation is arranged in a tented camp or a basic lodge, depending on availability. Breakfast and dinner are served at the overnight stops. Private transportation is provided in Kathmandu and Nepalgunj. We also provide experienced, trained, and government-authorized English-speaking guides and all other required permits. Our package can be customized to meet your requirements, and we guarantee a flat rate on all our trekking packages. Bring a group along with you and receive a special discount.

Join us for an unforgettable journey through the rugged beauty and cultural richness of the Upper Dolpo region in Nepal.

Moreover, if you are looking for shorter treks in the remote areas of Nepal, 18 days Lower Dolpo Trek, and 16 days Upper Mustang Trek are some of the best options. Enjoy the trek!

Day 05: Trek from Sulighat to Renje (3010m/9873ft) (5-6hour)

After breakfast, the walk continues towards Renje. Crossing the bridge, and now on the west bank of the river, we first head towards Jyalhasa- a winter settlement of Rimgmo village, past the abandoned settlement of Raktang, herders’ hut, and horse pastures over the ridge. Before heading ahead, we again cross the bridge and now follow the up and down the trail, passing through grasses and ferns along the east bank of the river we reach the trail junction to Phoksundo Lake. Following the Phoksundo Lake trail, we continue up on a ridge and down a rocky path to Chepka.  From here, staying close to the river, we climb a small ridge, cross to the west side and continue upstream climbing up and down to the Renje campsite. Overnight in a camp in Renje.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

(Highlights of the day: Interesting settlement of people in the villages like Jyalhasa and Raktang; herders' hut, horse pastures, ridges, and rocky paths and the soothing company of the river.)

Day 06: Trek from Renje to Ringmo village (3640m/11940ft) and the Phoksundo Lake (3620m/11874ft) 5-6 hrs.

After breakfast, the walk continues first up the ridge and then down to the wooden bridge. From the bridge about an hour of up-and-down walk, along the valley floor will take us to the confluence of the Pungma River and the Phoksundo River. Crossing the river, and now on the west bank of the Phuksundo River, the trail continues through the forest, traverses a grassy slope high above the river, and switches back steeply on a sandy trail through the open country. From this place, the trail gets much steeper (around 400 meters of the ridge). Shortly after we cross the ridge, we will get the first view of Phoksundo Lake. We will then descend through the Birch and Chir pine forest to the upper ridges that allow us to enjoy the rushing water of the Phoksundo River. Finally, a gentle climb will take us to the charming village of Ringmo. Following the trail along the edge of the village, we walk all the way up to Phoksundo Lake. Overnight in a camp in Phoksundo Lake.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

(Highlights of the day: The Tibetan cultural school for Tibetan refugees; a trail that passes through the forest of Birch and Chirpine, grassy slope, sand, and ridges; a very close-up view of a 200meters high waterfall, - the highest waterfall in Nepal; prayer flags, the Phoksundo River, the Ringmo Village, and the breathtaking view of the Phoksundo Lake.)

Day 07: Rest day in Phoskundo Lake and explore around Ringmo Village.

This day can also be taken as an acclimatization day or the rest day after 3 days of walking without proper rest. Therefore, today, instead of heading further after breakfast, we set out to explore the very beautiful Phoksundo Lake- alpine freshwater oligotrophic and the deepest (145m) lake in Nepal. After exploring the lake area, we also explore the Ringmo village, located south of the lake and white Thasung Chholing Gompa. If time and energy permit, we also walk all the way up to see the source of the lake. Overnight in a camp in Phoksundo Lake.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

(Highlights of the day: The very spectacular aquamarine-colored Phoksundo Lake; more than 20 stupas in the southern belt and Gompa in the eastern belt of the lake; traditional Ringmo village mostly inhabited by Tibetan ethnicity of Bonpo faith and the white Thasung Chholing Gompa decorated with prayer flags and prayer wheels.)

Day 08: Phoksundo Lake to Phoksundo Khola (3,630m /1190ft) (4-5 hrs)

After breakfast, the hike continues skirting the shore of the lake as it curves on a rocky ridge along the western bank of the lake. The trail is uneven and is suspended on a gangplank of wood that is maintained by pegs driven into the crevasse in the rocks -the first example of the remoteness of the area. As we reach the westernmost edge of the lake, the path leads through a lush meadow that later opens up into the flood plain of the Phoksundo River. From here onwards, we walk through the valley, cross the river and avoid the rare marshy land we stop today’s hike at the bank of the Phoksundo River. Overnight in a camp near Phoksundo River.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

(Highlights of the day: The mesmerizing view of the lake; uneven, yet very adventurous trail; lush meadow, wetland, and gushing Phoskundo River.)

Day 09: Phoksundo Khola to Phoksundo Bhanjyang (4,120/13,514ft) (6-7 hrs)

After breakfast, leaving the campsite, we head towards the confluence of the Phoksundo River and Ghyampo Kapuwa River through a glacial valley. Crossing the wooden bridge, we continue on a hardly distinctive path, towards the northeast of the valley on the Shey Gumba trekking trail. The trail is difficult, which makes us climb over the rocks and boulders and ford a stream that rushes down the steep valley. After a long climb, we reach a sheep meadow, where the trail swerves up a steep gorge. From here, a steep and hard climb to the top will take us to another valley that presents us with a view of the Kang La pass. The night will be spent in a tented camp in Phoksundo Bhanjyang.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

(Highlights of the day: An experience of Glacial Valley, a trail that passes through rocks, boulders stream, sheep meadow, steep ravine, and the view of Kang La pass.)

Day 10: Phoksundo Bhanjyang to Shey Gompa (4390m/14400ft) via Kang-La pass (5160m/16325ft) (5-6hrs)

Today we start early. After breakfast, the walk continues toward the Kang-La pass. The steep trail littered with slate scree makes the walk quite strenuous. The top of the pass presents an amazing view of the large valley cut across into two halves by a gushing river. As we descend from the pass, the path leads us on a long winding trek along the banks of the river, which also requires us to cross it several times. We walk past the meadow and the old nomadic hut of the herders. Soon we will see a red Chorten that marks our arrival at the Shey Gompa. Here we cross the old wooden log bridge and walk up to the Shey Gompa. The night will be spent in a tented camp in Shey Gompa.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

(Highlights of the day: Beautiful view of a large valley and the bisecting river; mud caves, meadows-sometimes yaks, a herd of sheep and  the mountain goat grazing; nomadic hut of the herders; traditional log bridge, Chorten, and the very famous Shey Gompa.)

Day 11: Rest day at Shey Gompa the crystal monastery

Today, both for exploration and acclimatization we visit a monastery, Shey Gompa, and the Crystal Mountain, built during the 11th century. The monastery belongs to the Chaiba community, who are the followers of saint Padmasambhava, and is the first Kagyaupa monastery. Shey Gompa is located above the confluence of the Kangjunala and Yeju Nala Rivers. After exploring the monastery we also visit crystal mountain and then get back to the camp for an overnight stay.

Day 12: Shey Gompa to Namgung village (4430m/14530ft) via Saldang La (5010m/16432ft) (6-7hrs)

The Namgung Village is the destination set for the day. After breakfast, we continue to walk toward the destination. Initially, the trail is pleasant as it runs through the juniper and descends into a gray, stony canyon. Then a zigzag path over bare rocks and coarse eroded soil will lead us to the top of Saldang La. The long, tiring trail steeply descends north until we see the first sight pastures of grazing yaks and sheep and nomadic tents. This is a sign that we are approaching Namgung village. Soon we will see a red stone structure build against the backdrop of a cliff on the north wall of a gorge. The structure is Namgung Monastery of the Karma-pa sect, which has now collapsed. We will explore the monastery, village, and nearby area. The night will be spent in the tented camp in Namgung village.

After some hours of hard climbing, we will be greeted by the picturesque view of Saldang (the largest village of the inner Dolpo) below a plateau high above the Nam Khongmala. We walk all the way down to Saldang. If time permits, we also explore the village and the lifestyle of the people living in the village.  The night will be spent in a camp in Saldang village.

A fairly gradual path with few ups and downs along the Nagon River will also make us walk past small settlements like Tiling, Kigaon, and Lurigaon.

After spending some time here on the pass, we descend through a rough path toward the Tarap valley. Around the afternoon, we come to the green valley, which further leads us on a pleasant track down toward Tarap Chu. On the way, we also visit the Tokyu monastery belonging to the Chiba sect.
