Dolpo: Trek massive traverse of Upper Dolpo to Mustang - Jomsom
Upper Dolpo to the realm of Mustang – Jomsom trek is the Epic journey through the rugged landscapes which consists of Lower Dolpo, Upper Dolpo, and parts of Mustang and ends in Jomsom. The upper Dolpo – Mustang circuit crosses at least seven passes over 5000 meters such as Kangla Pass (5500m) and Gela Pass (5100m), traverses the high plateau of Charka bhot, Sangda Pass (5300m), Tilicho, Nilgiri Himal and many more.
Dolpo region is another remote region that culturally and naturally resembles the Mustang region, this is also called the hidden region because the tranquility and natural beauty of this region are still unexplored. Upper Dolpo is located on the direct route between Tibet and Nepal, where we cross the caravans of yaks carrying salt and wool from Tibet. Most of the land of Upper Dolpa is unproductive; difficult to grow crops there so people of this region are involved in the salt and wool trade from generation to generation. Upper Dolpo is famous for its herbal, trans-Himalayan culture, Buddhist Monuments, and unique human civilization. It makes any trekkers feel the lifestyle of the mountainous region. It offers a highly adventurous journey where you get to feel the rhythm of chörtens, and Buddhist prayer spots. Shey Phoksundo National Park is also located in the Dolpo region where you will encounter several rare and non-rare animals such as Blue Sheep, Snow Leopard, Rabbits, and Marmots. Moreover, the beauty, graceful blue color, and colorful cliffs of Shey Phoksundo Lake enchant all the visitors. This trek is appropriate for those who are exceptionally fit and extremely prepared to face the full challenge of the Himalayan wilderness.
