About this trip
The Dolpo region trek is a famous and unique trekking trail located in the mid-western region of Nepal, and is also known as the Hidden Valley Trek.
The trek begins from inside the Shey Phoksundo National Park, home to hundreds of animals and birds including the Blue sheep, mountain goats, jackals, wolves, and the legendary Snow Leopard. Trekkers can enjoy the magnificent view of the Shey Phoksundo Lake, remote villages, high passes, mystical Tibetan monasteries, forests, wildlife, great Himalaya ranges, rivers, waterfalls, and above all, the peace and serenity of Dolpo.
The Dolpo region trek is divided into two parts – the Upper Dolpo Trek and the Lower Dolpo Trek and each trek has its own specialty and attractions.
The Lower Dolpo Trek takes visitors to Ringmo and beyond Phoksundo Lake (3600 m). The trek also crosses two high passes of Baga La (5070 m) and Numa La (5190 m) into Dho Tarap village (4040 m) – a region inhabited by people practicing polyandry and pre-Buddhist religion called “Bon Po”.
