| 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.
