TMystical cultures and rare wildlife, Dolpo situated in Nepal’s far west was only recently opened to trekkers. This is where you find the stunning Phoksundo Lake, celebrated as the jewel of Dolpo. The people here trace their origins to Tibet, and their culture is a window of the tradition as practiced on the roof of the world centuries ago. The delusive snow leopard is a famous denizen of Dolpo and the rare cat has acquired the status of a mere legend. Thus it’s not only the scenery that attracts trekkers to Dolpo; it’s the chance to see a corner of Nepal that very few visitors will ever experience.The trek begins at Juphal and follows the trail to Dunai, the first camp then proceeds to Tarakot, way up to Shering Gompa (4440m) which is the highest point of this trek, passing through the Saldang and Shey Gompa village, we descend to the beautiful Phoksundo Lake, which is apart of the Shey Phoksundo National Park. This region of more than 3000sq.km is among the most spectacular and protected area in Nepal.The trek concludes with descend to Chepka village and then to Juphal, from where we fly back to Nepalgunj then to Kathmandu..
