The Upper Dolpo Trek is one of Nepal’s most remote and culturally rich trekking journeys, taking you deep into the isolated landscapes of western Nepal. Hidden behind the Dhaulagiri range, Upper Dolpo remains largely untouched by modern development, preserving centuries old traditions, monasteries, and village life influenced by Tibetan culture.

This trek passes through barren valleys, high plateaus, deep gorges, and crystal clear lakes, including the iconic Shey Phoksundo Lake. Along the route, trekkers encounter ancient Bon monasteries, prayer flags, mani walls, and seasonal settlements that reflect a lifestyle unchanged for generations. The dramatic scenery and silence of the region create a powerful sense of remoteness.

Upper Dolpo is a restricted area requiring special permits and is best suited for experienced trekkers comfortable with long walking days and camping based trekking. Due to its isolation and altitude, the trek demands good physical fitness, but rewards adventurers with one of the most authentic and unforgettable Himalayan experiences Nepal has to offer.
