Dhorpatan to Lower Dolpo Trekking
Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve and Shey Phoksundo National Park lie in rain shadow of the Himalayas in the central North West of Nepal. These two remote areas hide vast wilderness rich in flora and fauna, sparsely populated and extremely beautiful, making for the best trekking in Nepal. This trek cover many passes, jungle ravines and over the Himalayan main chain.
Dhorpatan is located on the southern slopes of Mount Dhaulagiri in the Baglung District of the Mid-Western Region of Nepal, the small village of Dhorpatan is best known for being the headquarters of the Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve – a sanctuary for animals where a limited amount of hunting is permitted. The area covering 1325 sq. km., the reserve is situated on the southern flanks of Mt. Dhaulangiri I (8167m.) in districts of Rukum, Baglung & Myagdi in western Nepal.
This trek we start from Beni, after day drive from Kathmandu or Pokhara going through nice village in the beginning and through high and remote area and passes later and finally come down to Jhupal where we catch flight to Kathmandu. The route goes through high passes and very remote area of the country so we are rewarded with excellent view of mountain and virgin Tibetan culture on the way. This is beautiful trek over many passes, jungle ravines and over the Himalayan main chain. Trekking from Beni to Dolpo is counted as a difficult level of trekking from the point of view of accessible. The main attraction of Beni to Dolpo region is the landscape, people, wilderness region and the famous Phoksumdo Lake. As this is Nepal's one of the most demanding trek and goes through Numala & Bagala pass and remote area of the country where we should make lot of ascend and descend we therefore recommend to attempt only for experience trekkers.
