Jomsom- Dolpo Trekking
The Dolpo region was opened in 1989 with the Shey Phoksundo National Park, established in 1984 to preserve a large portion of the land in the area. It is extremely impressive, with many passes over 5000 metres. The region maintains a strong cultural Buddhist tradition with most inhabitants speaking the Tibetan language. Many still follow the ancient religion of Bon, an ancient animistic faith that predates Buddhism. They survive by growing buckwheat and barley and tend to large herds of goats, sheep, yak etc. The shining Ringmo Lake, with its clear turquoise blue water, makes a trip to this region an unforgettable experience.
Upper Dolpo Trek - Jomsom To Juphal is a long trek and shows us the most beautiful and remote areas of the country. Jomsom-Juphal trek is recommended to expert trekkers who are used to trekking to great heights. This trek crosses more than eleven mountain passes, seven of them higher than 5,000 m. Thus this is a difficult route compensated for by the beauty of the country-side and the kindness of the people. This trekking tour is undoubtedly one of the best that can be carried out in the whole of the Himalayas. The shining Ringmo Lake, with its unearthly turquoise blue water, makes a trip to this region an unforgettable experience.
We will start our trek from Jomsom, after a 15 minute excellent mountain flight from Pokhara. The route goes through high and remote alpine areas & passes and finally comes to Do Tarap, the beautiful village of this region. Trek towards Charkha, probably the most beautiful village of high altitude. Then we will trek towards She Ghompa and beautiful Shey Phoksundo Lake (3600m). From here we will trek to Juphal where we catch our flight back to Kathmandu. Clients carry only daypack and walk at their own pace.
