Dolpo trekking is opened to trekking in 1989, the Dolpo region is hard to match for it’s pristine beauty and rugged charm, where one can still have opportunity to meet the nomadic people and their life style almost untouched and unexplored. The Himalayas offer an endless variety of landscapes, cultures and great people. This unbounded diversity makes it a destination you can visit over and over again. It even becomes more interesting and fascinating with every time you return.
Lying in the rain shadow area of the Himalayas, the landscape resembles that of the Tibetan Plateau instead of the lush, green, monsoon watered hills, elsewhere in Nepal, at comparative altitudes. The people, very pleasant by nature, are of Tibetan descent who follow the pre-Buddhist Bon religion. Their language is closely related to Tibetan. The elevation of the trails is from 1650 meters (5,412ft) to 5136 meters (16,846ft) above sea level.
Dolpo Trekking Highlights
- Scenic Flight to Juphal: The Dolpo trek begins with a stunning flight from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj, followed by a short hop to Juphal, the gateway to Dolpo. This aerial journey offers sweeping views of Himalayan peaks, lush valleys, and remote terrain.
- Wonder of Landscape: Dolpo unveils a dramatic mix of rugged mountains, deep valleys, and high-altitude deserts. The turquoise Shey Phoksundo Lake glistens beneath snowy summits, while ancient villages and monasteries dot its untouched wilderness.
- Stunning Mountain Views: Dolpo offers breathtaking vistas of snow-covered giants like Kanjiroba Himal (6,883m) and the distant Dhaulagiri range (up to 8,167m), along with many other peaks above 6,000 meters, all nestled in Nepal’s remote western highlands.
- Ancient Villages & Monasteries: Time stands still in Dolpo’s age-old villages, where Tibetan-style stone houses and traditional lifestyles endure. Monasteries like Shey, Yangtsher, and Samling, some over 800 years old, reflect the region’s deep Bon and Buddhist heritage.
- Remote Beauty: Dolpo is a sanctuary of serene lakes, sacred valleys, and timeless culture. Its dramatic landscapes and spiritual depth make it one of the Himalayas’ most mystical and untouched treasures.
