Upper Dolpo Trek takes trekkers behind the far-western region of Nepal. It is one of the most remote areas of the Himalayas in Nepal. This is a challenging trip as there is non-existent tourism infrastructure, which makes organized tours necessary. Although, this 24-day long journey will offer trekkers the stunning views of spectacular Lake Phoksundo, rare and endangered wildlife of the Dolpo region, crystal-like Mountain view, and the Tibetan Buddhist culture of Nepal. The trail leads through some of the oldest monasteries of the Country. Trekkers will trek through one of the highest animal concentration parks in the world- Phoksundo National Park.
