The Upper Dolpo Trek is a journey into one of the most remote and culturally rich regions of Nepal. Hidden in the trans-Himalayan region bordering Tibet, Dolpo is known for its unspoiled landscapes, ancient Bon-Buddhist monasteries, and the legendary Shey Phoksundo Lake – one of the most stunning alpine lakes in the world.
Restricted and preserved, Upper Dolpo offers raw adventure, deep spiritual encounters, and a true escape from the modern world.
