Upper Dolpo Trekking is
a remote and spectacular corner of Himalaya, bound by the range of Dhaulagiri
and Churen himal. Dolpo is the biggest district of Nepal. The route of Upper Dolpo
trekking leads us to the unexplored and remote areas of Dolpo
districts with the remote areas near to the Tibetan border. This trekking
region contains the major part of remote areas of the region because of which
this trekking area is considered as the adventurous and mystical trekking route.
Since, the trekking route is challenging and risky but also we can get the spectacular
view of mountains and other landscapes while trekking at this area. This
trekking route is isolated because of its remoteness; so the trekking region is
less crowded. Ancient monasteries and some beautiful and traditional culture of
people living at the landscapes is the main theme of this trekking region. We
can see many Buddhists monasteries with the wildlife and many snowier peaks
during all treks. In our trek we will be offered with crystal clear views of
mountains in view point at our trek. The trekking route will leads us to the
hidden and many unexplored valleys of the largest districts of Nepal. We can
see many rare floras like Himalayan Thar, wolf, Langur, Goral, Himalayan Black
Bear and Yellow throated marten. Shey Phoksundo Lake located in Dolpo district
is one of the important highlights of this Trekking in Nepal.
Upper Dolpo trekking starts with a
flight over to Nepalgunj and immediately to Jhuphal. This trekking region will
continue towards the La Pass, Sibu, Dho Tarap, Serkam, Saldang Phoksundo Lake, Kang La pass, Khani Gaun,
Tarakot, Dunai, Ankhe, Renje, and other many more beautiful places of the
trekking region. Our trekking will end after the return journey to the Nepalgunj. EverestTrekking Routes will organize different types of trekking at this trekking
