The northern part of Dolpo is usually called Inner
Dolpo and has always had an aura of mysticism.
The high valleys of Dolpo are some sign of the most
remarkable in the Himalaya with sweeping views stretching
to the arid Tibetan plateau. Trekking here offers
a real adventure, in a remote, unspoiled. Part of
Nepal that has remained largely untracked and unexplored,
our trek begins with a flight to Jumla via Nepalgunj.
The first part of trek is not difficult and provides
delightful walking before joining ancient trade routes
and the steep ascent to cross the Kagmara La (5225m0,
our entrance to upper Dolpo. The scenery begins to
change with the hills becoming shades of red, brown
and gray. Eventually you can hear prayer flag fluttering
at the top of the pass, and the view opens up dramatically
looking east towards the snow peaks of the kanjiroba
Himal and the five peaks of Dhaulagiri. We soon walk
through the pleasant green pastures to the beautiful
Phoksundo (Ringmo) lake. The scenery is outstanding
with the deep blue waters of the lake contrasting
with the weathered red and brown hills.
We cross over two high passes, the Bag La (5182m)
and the Numa La (5148m). From the Numa La descend
into the Tarap valley to the village of Dho Tarap.
Our adventurous journeys finally comes to and end
at Juphal with an easy two days walk following the
Bheri River to the small airstrip at Juphal and we
fly back to Kathmandu via Nepalgunj.
