Dolpa, the Himalayan trekker's forbidden Shangri-La, has long been one of the most remote, secretive, and restricted areas of northwestern Nepal. This region includes extensive areas of high, arid terrain very similar to Tibet. Home of undisturbed Buddhist cultures and an extensive natural history quite different from that of the Himalayas to the east. The very few western travellers permitted into Dolpa were primarily scholars and researchers. We will trek from Jumla across the lower southern passes, explore the areas between Tarakot and Phoksundo Tal, before finally crossing the Kagmara La on our return to Jumla.


Dolpa is located inside the Phoksundo National Park of mid–western Nepal, hidden behind the Dhaulagiri massif, close to the Tibetan Plateau. Isolated from the rest of Nepal by a series of very high passes which are frequently closed by snow, Dolpa remains a truly remote corner of Nepal. Time has seemingly stood still here for centuries as the inhabitants, of Tibetan origin, continue to live and work the way they have done for generations. The delicately balanced eco–system encompasses a wild and wonderful variety of plants and wildlife, including the blue sheep and leopard. We are sure that you will agree that the trek through Dolpa is an experience not easily forgotten.
