Long
out of bounds to foreign trekkers, Dolpo lures adventurers
with promises of untouched natural splendor,
Mystical cultures and rare wildlife, Dolpo situated
in Nepal's far west was only recently opened to trekkers.
This is where you find the stunning Phoksundo Lake,
celebrated as the jewel of Dolpo. The people here trace
their origins to Tibet, and their culture is a window
of the tradition as practiced on the roof of the world
centuries ago. The delusive snow leopard is a famous
denizen of Dolpo and the rare cat has acquired the status
of a mere legend. Thus it's not only the scenery that
attracts trekkers to Dolpo; it's the chance to see a
corner of Nepal that very few visitors will ever experience.
The trek begins at Juphal and follows the trail to
Dunai, the first camp then proceeds to Tarakot, way
up to Shering Gompa (4440m) which is the highest point
of this trek, passing through the Saldang and Shey
Gompa village, we descend to the beautiful Phoksundo
Lake, which is apart of the Shey Phoksundo National
Park. This region of more than 3000sq.km is among
the most spectacular and protected area in Nepal.
The trek concludes with our descend to Chepka village
and then to Juphal, from where we fly back to Nepalgunj
then to Kathmandu.
