Lower Dolpo Trek

We'll welcome you at the Kathmandu airport and then take you to the hotel. In the evening, you meet with our manager, who briefs the program in detail and addresses your needs. 

Today, you have a free day. You can explore Kathmandu City by yourself. We make a special permit for Lower Dolpo Trekking. 

The first flight is from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj, a short 35-minute flight. Then, you'll take another 35-minute flight to Jhupal. From here onward, you'll drive to Dunai, passing by local villages and terraced fields.

The trail follows an upstream path along the banks of the Bheri River. Along the way to Tarakot, you'll enjoy stunning landscapes. The trail crosses deep gorges, hanging bridges, and remote villages. While trekking, you'll also come across dry stones, terraced fields, and an old fortress.

The trek continues along the southern bank of the Bheri River and heads east alongside the Bharbung Khola. You'll reach Laisicap and cross a river. From here onward, you'll follow the Tara Khola and reach Khani Gaon. Enjoying the views of the Putha Hiunchuli and Chure Himal range, you ascend to Laini Odar.

The trail offers impressive scenery today. From Laini Odar, you'll pass by gorges with scary cliffs above them. The trail opens up, and you'll walk on a path paved with wooden planks and flat stones that lead to Chhyugar (3,440 m). Then, you'll cross a stream to reach Nawarpani.

After breakfast, you'll walk gradually for two hours to reach Toltol. From here, you'll walk along the bank of Tarap Khol to Ghyamghar. You cross the river and continue trekking along the eastern bank to Sisaul. Then, you'll cross the western bank of the river and walk by an isolated valley to reach Dho and spend the night.

Today, you'll spend time acclimatizing to Dho Tarap. You'll visit old monasteries and explore the village. It's a good opportunity to see the unique lifestyle and culture of the locals. Most of the people in this village have the Bonn-Po and Nyingmapa religions.

You'll continue walking alongside the Tarap Chu River and ascend to Tokyu, a traditional village. From here, cross a bridge to Khanger and trek in the northwest. The trail gets rugged as we approach Num La base camp. 

Today is another adventurous day of the trek because of the high pass. You have to start in the early morning to make your way to the top of Baga La Pass. The trail is steep and rocky, of course. The top presents beautiful mountain scenery as a reward.

Further, you'll descend into a deep ravine and cross a frozen stream to reach Temche and walk towards Yak Kharka. 

Another adventurous day, another high pass. Again, the day begins early, and you make your way to the top of Baga La Pass. The trail, of course, is steep and rocky. The top presents beautiful mountain scenery as a reward. Further, you will descend into a deep ravine and cross a frozen stream to reach Temche and walk towards Yak Kharka. 

Today, the trail ascends to Ringmo village, passing by the forested path of pines, junipers, oaks, and cypress. You'll come across a stunning waterfall on the way and see superb views of the peaks of Rigmo village. From Ringmo, it is a short walk to Phoksundo. 

Today is a rest day at Phuksundo Lake. Spend the day well by visiting the gem of the Himalayas. The gorgeous turquoise colour of the lake and the serenity surrounding the area will mesmerize you. Later, you can explore the nearby villages and visit the Tshowa monastery, built almost 900 years ago.

The day begins with a gradual walk along a riverside. You'll ascend steeply to a hill that offers the last aerial views of Phoksundo Lake. From here, you'll drop down to Chunuwar and walk through the lush forest to Rechi. After a few ups and downs, you'll reach Chepka village. 

From Chepka, you'll walk through Shyanta and Kageni village. The trail has forests and crosses a suspension bridge over Dhim Khola. You'll also walk by a narrow path and barley fields before reaching Jhupal.

Today, you'll take another two flights to reach Kathmandu. Enjoy the day relaxing and strolling around Thamel. You can visit the club and spa and go shopping. 

Today, your adventurous trip ends. It's time to fly back to your home. Our team member will drop you at the airport.
