Dolpo Trekking package takes you the far western part of Nepal. Dolpa region represents both lower dolpo, upper dolpa and dolpo circuit trek. Dolpo is the most remote and restricted areas of Nepal. Trekking to Dolpo region is challenging as the tourism infrastructure is almost non-existent, and organized treks are necessary.The Tibetan Buddhist culture, some of the oldest monasteries, the spectacular Lake Phoksundo and rare wildlife, Dolpa trek offers a real sense of wilderness trek.
Spring: April to May, the fall: October to November and Summer-June to September are the best season trekking to Dolpo when temperatures are pleasant, sky is clear, and there is minimal chance of snow at high altitudes. Late/early snow can affect this trek in April and November, making some passes impossible to cross.
There are some variations of treks in Dolpo Nepal like:
Juphal to Lake Phoksundo-There are also shorter variations of the Upper Dolpo trek that you can take. One shorter variation is to trek from Juphal to Lake Phoksundo and back, which takes around eight days. Other variations connect Dolpo to Mustang and/or the Annapurna region, to the east.
Upper Dolpo to Annapurna Traverse-The Upper Dolpo to Annapurna Traverse via Dhorpatan Wildlife Reserve, would add about a week onto the Upper Dolpo trek. There is a three-day stretch during which you pass no settlements at all.
Upper Dolpo to Jomsom trek-The Upper Dolpo to Jomsom trek is another variation. Jomsom is in the Lower Mustang region of Nepal, and also has a strong Tibetan-influenced culture. It is in the rain-shadow of Mount Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, offering a different view of the Annapurna Himals.
Dolpo to Rara Traverse-Yet another variation is the Dolpo to Rara Traverse via Shey Gompa. It is around the same length as the regular Upper Dolpo trek, but diverges at Shey Gompa and ends at Rara Lake, in Jumla and Mugu districts. This is the largest lake in Nepal, and renowned for its abundant bird life.
