Upper Dolpo Trek (Jomsom to Juphal)
Upper Dolpo till today stands as one of the most isolated and remote region of this Himalayan country. But, the magnificence of this region is second to none. Snuggled between the Tibetan plateau and Dhaulagiri Himalaya Chain, it is your Shangri-La. The Upper Dolpo Trekking Jomsom to Juphal will take you to the most isolated and unscathed parts of the Mid-West region of Nepal. Dolpo, the land past Himalayans summons the beautiful and up-close view of regal mounts, oldest monasteries and frosty turquoise lakes The Upper Dolpo Trekking Jomsom to Juphal passes by some of the world’s lordliest mounts as Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Kanjiroba, and an ancient medieval kingdom of Lower Dolpo.
The region is very much secluded due to lack of road access until recently. That is why Dolpo is unhurt by the tribulations of the modern world, its beauty and exotic culture very much intact. In the fall of 1990, the first British tour operator planned a trek from east to west, Pokhara to Jumla via Lower Dolpo.
The clustered settlement of the Dolpo region makes its people some of the “world’s highest dwellers”. The ancient villages in Upper Dolpo are 4,300 meters and above! Dolpo is home to rare and outlandish animals such as Blue Sheep, Snow Leopard and medicinal herbs as Silvery Fil. People here practice pre Buddhist religion, the Bon Po. Even after extensive spreading of Buddhism in 9th century Tibet, this region has preserved its very ancient religion. You will be able to be part of the most unique and rare cultural practice of the world.
The trek passes north of the major mountain chain, through thrilling mountain passes as high as 5,500m towards the Tibetan Plateau. We will come across monasteries, both Buddhist and Pre-Buddhist (Shamanistic) laden with colorful prayer flags. Shey Gompa is anthropologically and religiously very important monastery of the region.
This trek into the wilderness, with high ups and lows is suitable for high altitude trekkers, those who seek for adventure. It is also for those who do not want to trek along tourist-packed mainstream trek routes. Every day we will hike for at least 5-7 hours.

Experience firsthand living in the youngest mounts of the world, wilderness and with a warm and innocent smile of mountain people, who are completely oblivious about the life elsewhere the mountains.
