Upper Dolpa Trek

Shey Phoksundo Lake

The Upper Dolpo Trek to Shey Gompa brings you into a mystical land where centuries old Buddhist and Bonpo traditions are still an important part of life. The legendary hidden land is located in the upper part of Dolpa District in Western Nepal at the edge of the Tibetan Plateau. Part of the region falls under Shey Phoksundo National Park. The park contains the famous Phoksundo Lake (deepest lake in Nepal) and Shey Gompa, both of which are the major tourist attractions. There is no aquatic life in the lake, which helps to make the waters brilliantly clear. Shey Gompa is situated at the base of Crystal Mountain is an important pilgrimage site for TIbetans. Crystal Mountain is visited by hundreds of pilgrims each year, who make a kora (circuit) around the mountain, Dolpo’s own version of Mount Kailash.

Beautiful village

The route is most demanding as we have to cross some 5000+ high passes like Kang La and Shey La which involves long climbs and long descends. As we trek through the heart of Dolpo we are presented with a fascinating insight into the Tibetan way of life and warm welcome of the Bonpos. The hills along the way are sparsely populated and the trails through them peaceful and quite as there is lack of other tourists.

Dho Tarap

Primitive lifestyle, snowy peaks, ancient and isolated villages, rich wildlife, Buddhist monasteries and wonderful lakes makes this trek an extremely varied and special trek.
