Lower Dolpo Trek - 15 days
2024
Lower Dolpo Trek takes you to a remote area in the western part of the Dolpo district. Tibetans dominate and populate the area. Lower Dolpo was opened to the public in 1982. But it is still a restricted area and requires a special government permit to hike.
The maximum altitude of this trek is 5309 m (Numa La pass), with most of the route over 4000 m. The trek to Lower Dolpo is a very difficult one. What's more, the trek involves crossing 3 high passes, Kagmara La, Baga La and Numa La. This area comes under the protection of the Shey Phoksundo National Park. This is Nepal's largest national park, covering an area of 3,555 km2.
The Himalayas, rhododendrons, hemlock, spruce, snow leopard, gray wolf, musk deer, etc., are just some of the rare flora and fauna you'll find here.
