Upper Dolpo Trek is also known as Dolpa trek lies in the upper region of Nepal’s largest national park, namely Shey Phoksundo national park in Dolpa District. Upper Dolpo trek consists of both lower and upper sub-areas of the Shey Phoksundo National Park.

The lower region of the trek features beautiful forests along the Thulo Bheri and Phoksundo River, the famous Shey Phoksundo Lake known for its magnificent turquoise color, Phoksundo waterfall, an ancient village of Ringmo, and its monastery.

The upper region of the trek is in the trans-Himalayan region which is relatively more remote and barren making it more challenging and adventurous. This trail goes through an ancient salt trade caravan route passing through some of the highest settlements on the planet and full of sacred ancient monasteries, Chhortens, and Mani walls.

 One of the main cultural highlights of the upper Dolpo trekking is the mystical 11th century Shey Gompa which is situated at 4,390m above sea level. “Shey” means the “biggest of all” in the Tibetan language and “gompa” means monastery. This monastery is thus considered the most important monastery in Nepal just like Mecca to the Muslims.

 People from around the world would flock together and come to Shey Gompa to observe a mega ceremony that takes place every 12 years in the dragon year according to the Tibetan calendar.

Another attraction of trekking to upper Dolpo is Crystal Mountain which is considered to be the second brother of Mount Kailash in Tibet, stands in a distance in front of Shey Gompa and is holy for both Hindus and Buddhists.

Trek to Upper Dolpo is a long desolate walk across the roof of Nepal crossing through the high passes along with some ancient monasteries and the villages of pre-Buddhist culture and tradition and with all these atmospheres of spirituality and nature, the Upper Dolpo trek will not fail to overwhelm you all.

However, among all, the Juphal airstrip is one the most popular and convenient entry points from where you can start your trek.

Upper Dolpo trek route

The trek begins from the Juphal airstrip and continues to Dunai(2140m), Chhekpa(2678m), and Chunuwar(3130m) for the first, second, and third nights in the mountain. Then the trek reaches Shey Phoksundo lake(3612m) where we spend two nights before heading on towards the upper region of the Dolpo trek.

Leaving Phoksundo lake behind, the trek goes to Ruktang(3594m) and base camp(4677m) in two nights before reaching Shey gompa(4350m). to reach Shey gompa we cross over Namgung-la (5350) one of the highest passes of the trek. On the next day after Shey gompa, we cross over Sela pass(5120m) then descend to Namgung(4360m) and Saldang(3770m) for other nights.

Now the trek starts heading to the south which goes to Rhakyo(4150m) and to high camp(4850m) for our last high pass of the trek. The next morning the trek goes over Jeng-la pass(5107m) and stays overnight at Do-Tarap(4019m) which is also a junction from where the trail to Jomsom branches off. After this trek goes down to Nawarpani Dovan(3780m), Laisicap(2775m), and back to Dunai(2140m) via Tarakot before the last night at Juphal airport(2475m). Then the trek ends flying to Nepalgunj and back to Kathmandu catching the flight the same day.
