Upper Dolpa Trek


Only few tourist visits this area every year. Dolpa trek is in the far western part of Nepal. There are no facilities of accommodation for tourist therefore only camping organized trek is possible. The landscape of this area is quite different than any other area of Nepal but similar like Mustang area. The beautiful geographical structure, ancient Tibetan culture, old monasteries more than 800 years old and human settlement in the highest point on the border of Tibet (China) are the main attraction of this trek. Wild animal like snow leopard, snow deer are also the main attraction. Shey-Phoksundu Lake is also one of the attraction points and a day camp is set on the bank of the lake.  This trek requires at least 3 weeks of time period and cost a little more than another trek because everything we have to take from Kathmandu for whole trek.
