Upper Dolpo Trek is also another interesting trekking destination in the Dolpo region of Western Nepal as it provides a wonderful opportunity to behold the beauty of the popular Dolpo region as the trekkers get the chance to view the mountains, Yaks and get acquainted with the Sherpa culture of the region. Upper Dolpo Trek was not opened to foreign trekkers until the 90’s and it is only after that that the region has received exposure both at the international and domestic level. Upper Dolpo Trek is a region of great mystical beauty and the fact that its location is remote adds more to its natural beauty and adventure. Upper Dolpo region is situated close to the Tibetan border in the north and hence most of the culture in the Dolpo region is similar to the Tibetan and Buddhist cultures.
Besides being adventurous, Upper Dolpo Trek is equally challenging trek as the trail has not been much travelled by the trekkers. The major highlight of the Upper Dolpo Trek is the beautiful Shey Phoksundo Lake, which is the deepest lake in Nepal. Besides the lake, trekkers will also come across several rare wildlife, snowy mountain peaks and plenty of Buddhist monasteries along the way. Upper Dolpo Trek starts from Kathmandu once we take a flight to Nepalgunj and then to Jhupal the next morning. The best time for trekto the Dolpo region is in summer and spring season. The trail becomes increasingly difficult in winter because of heavy snowfall.
