The trek in the Dolpa is an experience you’ll never forget.

The trail passes through a variety of landscapes ranging from green meadows to rocky terrain that extends Tibetan plateau. The Phoksundo Lake is an incomparable beauty with its deep blue and bright green colors surrounded by steep bold rocks.

Due to its remote location, Dolpa is still an off the beaten track destination. This region is suitable to trek in summer and fewer tourists will be seen during the trek. The authentic villages and Tibetan culture and tradition along Buddhism and Bonpo are very important for the people living in these villages and interwoven in everyday life.

This trek is strenuous and hard with some steep climbs. The trail ascends to two high passes, Numa La (5318m) and Baga La (5190m).
