Countries Visited: Nepal

A challenging, remote trek with high passes and incredible mountain scenery

Sandwiched between the Tibetan Plateau and Dhaulagiri Himal and still culturally Tibetan, Dolpo is one of the highest inhabited places on earth. It is a tough, mountainous region of azure blue lakes, high passes and fortified villages. Immortalised by Peter Matthiessen's book 'The Snow Leopard' and Eric Valli's classic film 'Himalaya', Dolpo still retains its air of remoteness and mystery. Our trek begins with a spectacular flight along the Himalaya to Juphal. We then follow the Suli Gaad River to the glistening Phoksumdo Lake from where we head east to Dho. Those who enjoy wild, untouched areas will love this exploratory part of our trek as we cross high passes with breathtaking views on our challenging route to Lower Mustang. This amazing journey finishes in Jomosom, from where we fly to Kathmandu.
