Lower Dolpo Trek from Jumla

This region was opened up in 1989 to organized trekking groups and to individual trekkers in 1990. There are Tibetan style inner Dolpo villages in Tarap, but most of the southern part of Dolpo is a region of Hindu influence.

Dolpo is located inside the Shey-phoksundo National Park of mid-western Nepal, behind the Dhaulagiri massif towards the Tibetan Plateau. It is a virgin and divine land and truly an isolated corner of Trans Himalayan Zone. There the nature seems to have remained exactly the same as it was first created, unharmed and unaltered. People here still lead primitive life, but they are very friendly. This is also one of few areas where pre-Buddhist Bon Po religion is still practiced. One of the main attractions in Dolpo is Phoksundo Lake and its waterfall. The lake at (3627m), is the deepest lake in entire Himalayan Region. Nature created a unique and wonderful treasurer like Dolpo, which is being the shelter of many rare alpine living beings. In spite of tough trails and rugged topography journey to Dolpo area is a life time experience. Tourists rarely visit Dolpo Region and the trekking route is very narrow and steep at some places, so good hiking experience is essential for this trek

The trek begins from Jumla, walk through Nepal's wildest with its strange mixture of ethnic Groups, offering allots of altitude scenery. A high route to Dolpo from Kaigaon leads across the Kagmara-La (5115m).The pass is not difficult to cross but in the winter snow bounds and potentially dangerous from November to early March Kagmara-La. We continue trek to Ringmo and ascent to Baga-La (5180m), which is the highest point of the trek. We then continue, Numa-La, Dho Tarap, Tarakot to Juphal, where we catch the flight to Kathmandu via Nepalgunj.
