OVER VIEW OF THE TRIP

Dolpa region appears in historical records since c. 8th century. The region lies in Shey Phoksundo National Park at western part of Nepal, between the Tibet plateau and Dhaulagiri range. The Dolpa is divided into two part Upper Dolpa and Lower Dolpa but the entire district was closed to all trekkers until 1989. The region is normally adherents of "Bon" and has preserved its Tibetan culture in fairly pure form. Our trekking to Dolpa is connected by the place named 'Jufal' after taking a short flight from Nepalagunj airport. Jufal is a starting and ending point of Upper Dolpa Trek.

Dolpa was the location for the Oscar-nominated movies "The Himalaya" and “The Caravana” and for the German documentary Dolpo Tulku. The trek to the Upper Dolpa consist passes through many mountain ranges of Annapurna, Kanjiroba and Dhaulagiri and also pass through beautiful villagers, trail route and meet fantastic people. The beauty of the vastPhoksundo Lake during the trek gives lifetime memory. In spite of the near inaccessibility of the region and tourism restrictions for the more remote parts, Dolpa is a popular destination for trekking tourism.
