Lower Dolpo Trekking in Nepal
Lower Dolpo Trek. Dolpo is located in North West of Nepal. It is on the isolated corner of the Trans Himalayan Zone. Dolpo is a virgin and divine land. For this trip, it takes a flight from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj and further to Juphal. And from Juphal we walk down to Dunai. Dunai is the district headquarter of Dolpo. From Dunai you flow the Thulo Bheri River through Tarakot and Do-Trap. Then from Do-Trap, you will cross over Numa-La and Baga -La to Shey- Phoksundo Lake. Phoksundo is the deepest Lake in the entire Himalayan Region.
Dolpo is famous for snow leopards, Himalayan tahr (mountain goat), and blue sheep. A great Naturalist Rodney Jackson conducted his research on snow leopards in the Shey Phoksundo area. Mother Nature created a unique and wonderful treasurer like Dolpo. So it is being the shelter of many rare alpine living beings. In spite of tough trails and rugged topography journey to the Dolpo area is a lifetime experience. Tourists rarely visit Dolpo Region and the trekking route is very narrow and steep at places. So a good hiking experience is essential for this trek.
