Upper Dolpo Trek

Upper Dolpo Trek is a restricted trekking zone and only opened for tourism since 1989. It lies in the mid-western region of Nepal. The tour lets you see the deep valleys, lush forests, pristine lakes, arid mountains and leads you through high passes. You will see many magnificent snow-covered peaks like Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, and many more on this trip. Other than peaks, the major attraction of this trek is the beautiful Shey Phoksundo Lake. Upper Dolpo Trekking lies in an obscure area with access difficulty, so this region is a less popular remote trek. But view and adventure-wise, this trek is not less than other top treks. Also, the unspoiled tradition and culture are on the cards. The majority of communities inhabiting these areas are Magar's and Tibetan's. The unique lifestyle, friendly nature, and beauty of the region will enchant you.

Travel Guide

Useful Information

Travel insurance is highly recommended for all our tours in Nepal. Ensure your policy covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost luggage, and adventure activities. The climate varies greatly with altitude, so you should pack layered clothing, proper hiking boots, sun protection, and essential trekking gear.

The best time to visit Nepal for trekking is during the dry seasons: October-November (autumn) and March-April (spring) when you'll experience clear skies and perfect trekking weather. During the monsoon season (June-September), you can enjoy lush green landscapes, though some trails may be challenging.
