Dolpo Shy Phoksondu Trek


11 Days 10 Night


Trip Introduction

Dolpo Shy Phoksondu Trek, It is certainly one of the most beautiful and splendid places. The exotic sites and natural sceneries lure people all over the world, thus making it a must-visit destination. Dolpo has been captured beautifully on film by the renowned director Eric Valli in his movie “Caravan”. Dolpo’s Phoksundo Lake is regarded as one of the most scenic and beautiful natural tourist destinations in Nepal. Mirroring the snowy Kanjiroba massif, the turquoise lake waters look heavenly. Upper Dolpo trek is also another trek that can be done.

The Phoksundu  Tea house Trek is Dolpa’s one and only teahouse trek. This trek is fairly easy as no high passes are involved. The trek starts from Juphal, where the only airstrip in Dolpo is located. The trail passes through wonderful Himalayan forests and picturesque traditional villages. The rivers and waterfalls on the trail are some of Nepal’s most magnificent. In addition to natural beauty, the trekking area also is rich in wildlife. One may get to see some endangered species like the snow leopard, musk deer, blue sheep, great Tibetan sheep, Himalayan that etc. Within the Shay Phoksundu National Park lies our destination Phoksundo Lake.

This trek is less expensive and follows a shorter route. We will be staying in tea houses or lodges throughout the trek. We shall take our meals at tea-houses. The food will be simple and nutritious. Backpackers can also do this trek. The company will provide a local guide. But in case you don’t need a guide, then the company will take out the trekking permit for you for a fee. We plan your trip with a high level of efficiency, so that you may have the most memorable experience.
