Upper Dolpo Trek

Upper Dolpo Trek is remote and breathtaking trekking that connects us to Shey Phoksundo Lake, Shey Gompa, Saldang Village, and many other remote unique, and less traveled west north corner of Nepal. Upper Dolpo Trek is known as Inner Dolpo one of the remote trekking destinations in Nepal mandatory Camping arrangements with supporters staff. Upper Dolpo Trek includes a combination of Landscapes, unspoiled typical Buddhist culture, traditional local lifestyle, and old Buddhist monasteries that include high passes with fine trip itineraries.  

Upper Dolpo Trek Fascinating Off the Beaten Trek.

Upper Dolpo Trek is a fascinating "Off The Beaten Path" trek in Nepal in the tranquil, pristine, and mysterious regions of Upper Dolpo. Upper Dolpo Trek also treks around the majestic glacial lake, Shey Phoksundo, and visits Shey Gompa, one of the most famous monasteries of Nepal. Despite being one of the harder and longer treks with several camps above 4500 meters and several passes, the arid trans-Himalayan landscape and the daily hardships of locals leave the travelers in awe of Dolpo. It is also a spiritual trek as shamanistic Bon religion and Tibetan Buddhism dominates the entire region.

Trekking to Upper Dolpo through the tough mountainous region of fortified villages, 'dzongs', turquoise lakes, sacred mountains, and high passes, susceptible to heavy snows which have isolated it from the rest of Nepal for much of the year. Isolated and unproductive lands have forced the locals to rely mostly on trade with Tibetans and the tradition still lives on today. Upper Dolpo Trekking passes through these very villages that still serve as the trade hub of these ancient trade routes. Centuries-old monasteries, including, the famous Shey Gomba (referred to as Crystal Monastery in the book Snow Leopard by Peter Matthiessen), and unexplored and hidden valleys of Dolpo make the trek worth every minute of the hard trek in this wild part of the Himalayas of Nepal.

The most interesting part of the Upper Dolpo Trek is that we get to witness the cultural difference of the people of different regions, had centuries ago.  Dolpo the high mountainous settlement holds the nomads that migrated to the region ages ago. Similarly, the people of Mustang also called Lopas also migrated from Tibet almost during the same time. Still, the contrast between the people of these two regions in the past and in recent times is so huge in terms of civilization; it is an interesting discovery.

How difficult is the upper Dolpo Trek?

Upper Dolpo is one of the most demanding trekking destinations. Due to remoteness, it is quite challenging to trek Upper Dolpo. Trek to Upper Dolpo, you will need to be familiar with high-altitude treks or you will require 5000 meters of previous trekking experience. We don’t recommend first-time travelers trekking to Upper Dolpo because it is a long and high-altitude trek. We will spend about two weeks’ time above 4000 meters. During our Upper Dolpo trekking journey, we will cross several 5000 meters high passes, Kang la Pass 5345 meters, Sela Bhanjyang 5075 meters, Chharka La Pass 5030 meters, Niwar Pass 5130 meters and Sangda la Pass 5300 meters. As high altitude treks involve a lot of uphills and downhill and each day we will walk about 9 to 14 kilometers and a typical day walk will be 6 to 8 hours.


How do I travel to Dolpo?

First, you have to get to Nepalgunj by flight. Domestic airlines operate daily flights to Nepalgunj from Kathmandu. It is about 40 minutes by flight or up to 12 hours by bus, Car ride journey can connect to Nepalgunj from Kathmandu. From Nepalgunj, you can fly to Juphal airstrip. There is not any direct flight to Juphal from Kathmandu, although expensive charter flights can be arranged from Pokhara.

Upper Dolpo Trekking Route.

There are several different ways to do Upper Dolpo Trek, Nevertheless, we follow the original route clockwise route starting from Juphal and ending at Jomsom. There is not any place we are going to miss during our Upper Dolpo Trek, we comprise most of the spectacular and unique places in our journey to Upper Dolpo Trek. The most spectacular places like Stunning Shey Phoksundo Lake, Remote Shey Gompa and Crystal Mountain, Saldang Village home to Tibetan salt traders, Tinje Village, and Chharka Bhot connect us to Jomsom following the Great Himalayan Trail. This is one of the stunning routes we will follow on our Upper Dolpo Trekking journey.

 

When is the best time to trek Upper Dolpo?

The best time to do trekking in Nepal is March, April, and May in the spring season and October, November, and December in the Autumn season. But Every trekking destination is not the same aspect, Dolpo district lies north of the Himalayas and is a rain shadow destination. Even in monsoon time, in June, July, and August very little rain receives in Upper Dolpo. We did trips to Dolpo before pre-monsoon like April and May, and after ending the monsoon month of September and October. We found the very best time to trek upper Dolpo from Mid-September to the end of October. Because tracks are clear, High Passes are open so the success rate is 99%. So, I would say the best time to Trek Upper Dolpo is the month of September and October is the best month.


It is possible to do Lodge Trek in Upper Dolpo?

Upper Dolpo trek is not set with commercial infrastructures, most of the local villages are still unique and far away from modern stander lifestyles. So, it is nearly impossible to trek Upper Dolpo staying at Lodge or Tea House. However, in some of the popular villages like Saldang village, it is possible to stay with a local house and sleep in their house. We don’t recommend tea houses, or lodge trek to upper Dolpo because of the lack of available lodges and tea houses.


Is Camping necessary for Upper Dolpo Trek?

The largest district of Nepal, Dolpo is connected with Tibet on the north border. Dolpo district is protected by Shey Phoksundo National Park, the largest National Park it’s a trans-Himalayan National Park. Dolpo is one of the remote and authentic destinations, there is no available tea house, Lodges along the upper Dolpo trekking route. For most of the trekking route we will need to have camp and we need to supply Camping gear while trekking to Upper Dolpo. Upper Dolpo Treks provide a real camping test, visiting pure Tibetan’s style un-changes village, typical lifestyle, and rich of Buddhist Culture are the high light of Upper Dolpo Trek.

 

Shey Phoksundo National Park in Dolpo Nepal.
Shey Phoksundo National Park is established in 1984, Countries largest National Park is located in the mid-western region of Nepal which covers the Dolpo and Mugu district in Nepal. Shey Phoksundo National Park's name is derived from the 12th-century Shey Monastery and the deepest Lake in Nepal.

Lower and Upper Dolpo Camping trek with Visit Himalaya Treks

What an experience and just amazing time we spent on our trek in lower and upper Dolpo! It is not just the impressive landscape and the inspiring culture we discovered in this remote area, but also the good spirit of our crew that made our trekking unforgettable! And we don't like to call it our crew because we became a family in those 26 days we spent together. Everything was very well organised by Visit Himalaya Treks even though the airport at the starting point was closed due to construction. The rearrangements gave us the possibility to do the trekking the other way round. This made it more challenging as the first two passes over 5000 meters came quickly. But our caretaking and open-hearted crew supported us in this challenge and celebrated with us the top of the pass of 5550 meters with cheerings and heartily embracements. These special moments, the awesome encounters with the local people of Dolpo, as well as the fascinating nature made this trip to be a unique experience with many great memories to take back home! Many thanks to all who were on the trek with us and special thanks to Himal and Visit Himalaya Treks! Oct - 2017.

Lower and Upper Dolpo  Camptrekking

Off the beaten trek into the remote area of Dolpo...because of the closed airport in Juphal Visit Himalaya Treks adapted our initerary and we did the trek the other way round. This is more challenging, but we made it also thanks to the great staff we had with us! Our trekking was once more an unforgetable experience: an amazing time in a remote area with a beautiful landscape, with a fascinating culture and inspiring people and we just had a well organized trek with an icredible friendly and care taking nepali team that became our family! Visit Himalay Treks fulfills your individual needs, takes care of the challenges and risks, and meets their clients as well as their staff with respect and fairness!

Lower and Upper Dolpo Trek (juphal-jomsom)

Good experience with the company, few specifics we rushed into and should have discussed more thoroughly. We ran into a few hiccups in the begging, as you do. However, our guide Pashu Ram got it all sorted and we continued with a great trip. The team were fantastic from our guide to our two porters! Look forward to trekking with them again! October – 2018.

FAQs

We always try to be flexible to design the trip itinerary for our client’s needs. However, if you are not convinced as our suggested itinerary then off-course you are always welcome to customize or change the trip itinerary.

Holiday should never be about making it to the final point quickly. Along your trek, we can add days at your request with additional costs to cover guides, porters, accommodation, and food.

An average physical fitness should be maintained prior to booking a trek. Any sort of illness or recent medical problems should be mentioned while booking a trip. Most of our itineraries are prepared to give you maximum time to acclimatize and pace-setting on the treks would be done according to your convenience. If you are having regular medication then tell us before the trip started which would be better for us to give you the physical feedback.

Our main concern is your safety. We never compromised on your safety during the Trekking and all our guides are properly trained and well equipped to take care of our client's safety even in remote areas as well.

There would be always back support in case of an emergency situation like severe high-altitude sickness or accident (which is least expected), you will be sent to the nearest hospital, if possible, otherwise rescued by a helicopter and sent you to the hospital as soon as possible. Since you are entirely liable for all the expenses incurred for the use of such emergency services, please make sure that your travel insurance covers both- medical and emergency evacuation costs.

It is not a problem at all because in this trek we will supply most of the foods from the nearest store and remaining foods we buy from Locals that mean most of the time we served vegetarian food as well and our camping cook and guide will take care as well.

We use standard quality of (Camping Gears) like Clients tents (3 men tents for couple and two men tent for single), dining tents,  Shower Tent, Toilet Tent, staff tend thick mattress, etc.  Also, we care for our staff and provide them with proper equipment for the camping trek. You will also be requested to have the proper gear for your personal use which will be suggested while confirming the trip.

While during the camping trek it is really difficult to find the place to charge gadget somehow we will manage to charge if we stay closed by village otherwise we have to take portable solar panel to carry with us and charge our gadgets. 

Now a day’s most of the areas has been covered by cell phone network connection. However, in this trek, we always send satellite phones along with our guide so you can easily be in touch with your family.

Yes, either you can store at the same hotel as you stayed or we can store your goods with us safely in our office free of cost.

This is a difficult thing to gauge. We have seen everything from USD 25 to USD 900 per person for guides and porters. Tipping is not required, but a small gesture of thanks to your guides and local porters. The level of the tip should reflect the level of satisfaction from and personal involvement with your guide. However, we recommend you to spend a minimum of 10% of your total trip cost for tipping the entire local staff.
