Lower Dolpo Trek Overview
If you think trekking is just walking with a backpack, try the Lower Dolpo trek. You’ll have your perception changed on the very first day. The Lower Dolpo trek takes you into remote Nepal along ancient salt trade routes to Tibet. It is a journey of high mountains, Tibetan-influenced cultures, and desert-like landscapes. Unlike the crowded Everest or Annapurna regions, Lower Dolpo is a restricted area with fewer tourists that requires special permits to enter.
“Eric Valli, who filmed the Oscar-nominated movie Himalaya (Caravan), said Dolpo “captivated his heart.” His words introduced Dolpo to the world. His movie was filmed in many of the same places included in our itinerary, starting from Nepaljung to Chharka, Ringmo, Phoksundo Lake, and Jhupal. Throughout the trek, the Kanjiroba Himal (6,883m) and Putha Hiunchuli (7,246m) seem to follow you along the trail. The route crosses the Shey La Pass and follows the Suligad River for most of its length.
The region preserves strong Buddhist-Bon culture. Villages have Tibetan-style monasteries, and local festivals like Chhewar and Lhosar are celebrated with prayer dances and rituals. People maintain traditional crafts, music, and daily rituals.
Lower Dolpo is part of Shey Phoksundo National Park. You can spot blue sheep at Yak Kharka, snow leopard traces, and red pandas in higher forests. If you are looking for a journey into history, culture, and raw Himalayan nature, the Lower Dolpo trek awaits. To help you plan, below is the detailed itinerary for this trek.
Lower Dolpo Trek Itinerary
Collapse All
Day
01
The first day of the trek begins with a nice morning breakfast in Kathmandu. During the morning, you will have a brief leisure as you prepare for your trek in the coming days. In the afternoon, you will be taken to Tribhuvan International Airport, where you will board the flight to Nepalgunj.
Nepalgunj is a special city in Nepal at an altitude of 150m above sea level. The flight from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj takes up to 50 minutes. During this flight, you will get your first glimpse of the Himalayan ranges. You will then check into a nice hotel in Nepalgunj to stay overnight. If you have time, you can do a short sightseeing around the streets.
Day
02
Today we will have breakfast at your hotel and then quickly head towards Nepalgunj airport for our flight to Jhupal. Jhupal is a small town with a short airstrip at an altitude of 2,850m. The flight to Jhupal takes approximately 40 minutes. Jhupal is a small village located in the mountains where the temperature tends to be colder than in other areas.
Our actual trek finally starts as we make our way to Dunai. It takes roughly 2 to 3 hours to reach Dunai from Jhupla. The trek is slightly difficult as you must climb steep hills across curvy roads.
Day
03
On the third day of our trek, we’ll begin our journey towards Tarakot after having breakfast at Dunai. The trail follows the southern bank of the Thuli Bheri River for most of the time. We’ll pass small settlements like Lawan (also known as Lawan village or Langa). At Lawan, we will cross a bridge to the south bank of the river.
As we approach our destination, we’ll see the terraced fields of barley and buckwheat. We’ll follow the river for most of the day before reaching the confluence of the Barbung Khola and Tarap Chu rivers near Tarakot. Tarakot, meaning “fortress” or “Dzong,” is a historic village that was once a military outpost and a stop on the ancient salt trade route to Tibet. It provides a glimpse into the history of the Tichurong Kingdom as well.
Day
04
Today, the trek gets more difficult and strenuous as you climb to a higher altitude. After trekking for a few hours, you will reach places with several Buddhist monasteries and temples, which you can briefly explore. As we have climbed some altitudes, we are now trekking above the Thuli Bheri River and have to cross some suspension bridges.
On the common trail, plenty of shops offer tea, lunch, and snacks for trekkers worldwide. After five to six hours of trek, we will reach another small village in Laini, where we will stay overnight in a teahouse or camping tent.
Day
05
Day
06
The trail continues to follow the Tarap Chu (river) today. We’ll start our day by crossing a river and moving deeper into the inner Himalayan valley. We’ll leave the tree line behind and enter sparse vegetation, juniper bushes, and wild rose shrubs. In the middle of the day, we’ll stop at Kamattarka. It is a meeting point at the confluence of the Tarap Chu and Lang Khola rivers.
After a short break, we’ll head towards Dho Tarap. The village is home to people of Tibetan origin and the local Magar ethnic group. Many of them follow the pre-Buddhist Bon Po religion. You’ll notice women wearing black dresses and colorful aprons made from yak wool.
Day
07
Today is an acclimatization day at Dho Tarap to adjust to the altitude. We follow the rule of climbing higher during the day and returning to the village to sleep. This helps to lower the risk of altitude sickness. Short walks around the valley keep the body active and cool.
We spend time exploring Dho Tarap village. The settlement has mud-brick houses and stone walls that protect crops from wind and animals. The Dolpo-pa people wear homespun clothing and Tibetan-style boots. We can visit Ribo Bumpa Monastery inside the village and the Bon Gompa at Shipichowk just outside it. These monasteries reflect Buddhist and Bon Po beliefs. Those who are in good shape can hike to Drakmar Dewa Monastery, located just above the valley.
We’ll also interact with locals to learn about farming, yak herding, and the old salt trade with Tibet. Throughout the day, we’ll stay hydrated with water or herbal tea. Rest is important, and we pay attention to how our bodies feel at this altitude.
Day
08
After resting for a day, we continue our trek as we aim to reach Numa La Base Camp today. The trek takes 6–7 hours and is more challenging than before. You will come across a unique school at a high altitude, which is named Crystal Mountain School. Many children wave to the trekkers in the area, and the sight is very pleasing.
As you continue moving for an hour from the school, you will reach today’s destination in Numa La Base Camp. There is another Buddhist monastery in the Numa La Base Camp. Furthermore, no lodges and teahouses are here, so you will stay overnight in a tent. Your guides and porters will set up a bonfire and a tent around the campsite and help you cook dinner.
Day
09
Today is one of the most challenging trekking days for beginners. First, we will trek from the Numa base Camp area to Numa La Pass, which is at an altitude of 5,190m. The trek is steep as you ascend until reaching the top of the ridge, offering exciting views of stunning mountains such as Churen and Dhaulagiri.
Reaching Numa La Pass from the base camp area takes four hours. After soaking in the experience, we will begin to descend, which is easier than ascending the steep climb. You will first reach beautiful Gyambo Khola till you reach Danigar, renowned for its beautiful green meadows. Stay overnight at a tent in Danigar, as it has no teahouse. This way, days 8 and 9 feature Dho Tarap to Danigar via the Numa La Pass route.
Day
10
We start early to cross Baga La Pass, as the climb begins right away. The ascent is challenging because of the high altitude, so we move slowly and keep a steady pace. At the top of Baga La Pass, prayer flags and chortens mark this sacred point. From here, we see Mount Norbung Kang (6,085m), Kanjirowa Himal (6,612m), and the dry mountain landscape of Dolpo. On clear days, we can also see Shey Phoksundo Lake far away.
After the pass, we descend towards Yak Kharka. Yak Kharka is a seasonal grazing area used by yak herders. Overnight facilities here are very limited. We may find a very basic teahouse, but this is not always available. Most nights are spent camping with support arranged by our trekking team. We should expect simple conditions and meals prepared by staff.
Day
11
We begin the day by walking through the forests of pine, juniper, oak, and birch. Soon, we reach a viewpoint that reveals Phoksundo Lake for the first time. The lake appears far below with deep blue and turquoise colors. It is the deepest in Nepal (about 145m deep). We then descend to the headwaters of the Phoksundo Khola. The path leads us straight into Ringmo village, a Tibetan settlement.
From Ringmo, we walk to the shore of Shey Phoksundo Lake. The lake is sacred, and swimming is not allowed. Above the water, we can see the Kanjirowa Himal massif. We can also visit Tshowa Gompa, a Bon monastery that is around 900 years old. The day ends beside one of Nepal’s most important natural and cultural sites.
Day
12
Today is a rest day, but we stay lightly active to help our bodies adapt. We explore Ringmo village, an old Tibetan-style settlement near the lake. The village has mud-plastered chortens and long Mani walls written with mantras. Most locals follow the Bon Po religion, which is older than Buddhism, and their daily life here is closely tied to tradition.
We can take a walk to Tshowa Gompa too, which is located on a ridge above the lake, with the Kanjirowa Himal behind it. We also walk on the lakeshore, where the water changes color with sunlight.
Another option is a short walk north to Jharana Waterfall, also called Phoksundo Waterfall. It drops about 330m and is one of the highest waterfalls in Nepal. The day is also good for rest and preparation. We rest well, check our gear, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings before continuing the journey.
Day
13
We start the day by hiking to a point above Ringmo village. This is the last chance to capture the lake’s beauty. From there, we trek downhill towards Polam and Chunuwar by passing winter grazing areas. Polam is a tiny village used by Ringmo villagers in winter. Chunuwar, near the Jharana Hotel area, has an “Amchi” hospital run by a traditional Tibetan healer and provides beautiful views of Phoksundo Waterfall.
Further along, we move through Samduwa and Rechi settlements. As we lose altitude, the trail follows the Suli Gad River, which is the Phoksundo Khola downstream. We’ll be inside Shey Phoksundo National Park and may spot wildlife like blue sheep and musk deer.
Day
14
We begin the day following the Suli Gad River again. The trail leads us back to lower valleys and more populated areas. Along the way, we’ll pass the Sulighat check post, the official exit point for Shey Phoksundo National Park. Our permits are checked here for the final time.
As we move away from the river, the landscape changes. We pass Kageni and Kalagaonda (Kala Gaura), where we see local farming and daily life that is different from the Tibetan-influenced culture in the higher valleys. From there, we’ll climb up to Juphal, where you can find the market, hotels, and restaurants. Finally, the day concludes with a farewell dinner to thank guides and porters for their support.
Day
15
We start early with a flight from Juphal to Nepalgunj. Flights from Juphal are scheduled in the morning because of the weather and limited airport services. Tara Air and Nepal Airlines operate this route. During the 45-minute flight, we get one last view of the Himalayan mountains. Upon landing in Nepalgunj, we collect our baggage and move to the domestic terminal for the next flight.
The second flight takes us from Nepalgunj to Kathmandu. This route has several daily flights operated by Buddha Air, Shree Airlines, and Yeti Airlines. The flight lasts around 50 minutes. Once in Kathmandu, the trek officially ends. We hope you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you back soon.

How Lower Dolpo Beauty Helped a Movie Secure an Oscar Nomination
The raw beauty of the Dolpo region was the reason for the success of the 1999 film Himalaya (also known as Caravan). It became the first Nepalese film to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. The film was shot entirely in the remote Dolpo region over nine months. It has captured Shey Phoksundo Lake and the dangerous mountain passes.
French filmmaker Éric Valli directed the movie using local villagers, lamas, and chiefs instead of professional actors. The film also showed Bon Po and Tibetan traditions for a global audience. Every scene showed the reality of life in Dolpo’s rain-shadow region.
The Oscar nomination brought worldwide attention to Dolpo. Trekking in the region increased sixfold after the film, as travelers wanted to see the locations themselves. In 2025, Dolpo continues to inspire filmmakers. The movie Shambhala, shot in similarly remote conditions, was the official entry of Nepal for the 97th Academy Awards.
What Differentiates Lower Dolpo from Other Trekking Regions
Lower Dolpo stands apart from other trekking regions because it remains remote, regulated, and very traditional. We travel to areas where ancient salt trade routes, Bon Po culture, and Tibetan-style villages still matter in their life. Here are a few reasons why it is different from other trekking regions.
Largest National Park in Nepal: Shey Phoksundo National Park
Lower Dolpo is located inside Shey Phoksundo National Park, which covers 3,555 sq km. Its altitude ranges from 2,130m to 6,885m. The park is known for wildlife protection. It is one of the main habitats for snow leopards in Nepal, with studies recording around 90 individuals and more than 200 bird species. The park also protects Shey Phoksundo Lake, which is Nepal’s deepest and second-largest lake. The lake has no aquatic life, which keeps its water clear. Established in 1984, the park also supports over 9,000 residents, which makes it different from other regions.
Oscar Worthy Landscapes and Beauty
Lower Dolpo gained global recognition through the French film Himalaya, also known as Caravan, directed by Eric Valli. The movie was shot entirely in Dolpo and used real locations instead of sets. The Shey Phoksundo Lake and the dry brown plateaus show that Lower Dolpo is in the trans-Himalayan region. Villages such as Dho Tarap and Ringmo make this landscape even more distinctive. Stone houses, Bon monasteries, and yak caravans still follow old salt trade routes across passes like Numa La and Baga La. These landscapes and culture separate Lower Dolpo from all other trekking regions in Nepal.
Buddhist and Bonpo Monasteries such as Doro Gompa and Shey Gompa
Lower Dolpo is home to several ancient monasteries. In Dho Tarap village, we find Ribo Bhumpa Gompa, a thousand-year-old Nyingmapa Buddhist monastery built in the sacred vase (Bumpa) style. Nearby, Sipchok Dedhen Phuntsokling Bon Monastery preserves pre-Buddhist Bon traditions. Doro Gompa and Mekyem Gompa are other Bon monasteries in the valley. Near Phoksundo Lake, Tshowa Gompa (Ringmo Bon Monastery), Pugmo Dechen Ling Monastery, Sandul Gompa, and Dunai Central Monastery showcase the Bon culture in Lower Dolpo.
Mix of Tibetan-Nepalese Culture and Lifestyle
Lower Dolpo is one of the last regions where the pre-Buddhist Bon religion is practiced in its original form. Bon monasteries like Tshowa Gompa still conduct rituals focused on nature worship of mountains and rivers. Followers walk counter-clockwise around shrines, unlike Buddhist practices. The region also shows a religious connection. Southern trails are home to the Khasan people, who follow Hinduism. Higher up, Tarali Magars speak the Kaike dialect and practice ancestor worship and Tibetan Buddhism. This mix of Tibetan and Nepalese culture makes Lower Dolpo unique from others.
What Permits are Required for the Lower Dolpo Trek?
Trekking in Lower Dolpo requires special permits because the region is a restricted area and lies within Shey Phoksundo National Park. Three main permits are needed: the Restricted Area Permit (RAP) for Upper Dolpo, a general Restricted Area Permit, and the Shey Phoksundo National Park Permit.
| Permit Type | Cost (Foreigners) |
| Lower Dolpo Restricted Area Permit (RAP) | USD 20 per person, per week (or USD 5 per additional day) |
| Shey Phoksundo National Park Entry Permit | NPR 3,000 (approx. USD 25-30) per person, per entry |
Note: Trekkers planning to film movies, commercials, or use large drones in Lower Dolpo must obtain separate filming permits and approvals from the Department of Tourism and Shey Phoksundo National Park authorities.

How Difficult is the Trek to Lower Dolpo?
The Lower Dolpo Trek difficulty is graded as moderate to strenuous. It is easier than the full Upper Dolpo circuit but harder than popular routes like Annapurna Base Camp. The main challenge is the extreme remoteness. Trails are remote, and help is limited. You will spend much of the trek above 3,500m, which makes proper acclimatization essential to prevent Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS).
The trek involves crossing two major high-altitude passes. Numa La Pass reaches 5,190 m and has difficult rocky trails. Baga La Pass is 5,169 m high and has arid, desert-like hills. Daily walks range from 6 to 8 hours, and the trek covers roughly 150–200 km over 15 days. Accommodation is basic, with limited lodges and self-sufficient camping in remote sections. Communication and electricity are scarce, so preparation is important for this journey.
Risk of Altitude Sickness and Acclimatization as a Solution at Lower Dolpo
The Lower Dolpo trek carries a moderate to high risk of altitude sickness (AMS). Symptoms can include headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and loss of appetite. Severe cases can progress to HAPE (fluid in the lungs) or HACE (brain swelling), which are life-threatening. Altitude sickness can affect anyone, regardless of fitness, age, or previous trekking experience. The main risk factor is a rapid ascent. Acclimatization is the most effective way to prevent AMS. Key strategies include:
- Gain height slowly: Limit daily sleeping elevation gains to 300–500m above 3,000m.
- Schedule Rest Days: Use planned acclimatization days at Dho Tarap (4,090m) and Phoksundo Lake for light activity.
- Eat Carbohydrates: Focus on rice, pasta, and potatoes for sustained energy.
- Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: These slow acclimatization and worsen symptoms.
- Listen to Your Body: Stop ascending if symptoms occur. Inform your guide and descend if they worsen.
Best Time For 15 Days Lower Dolpo Trek
The best times for a 15-day Lower Dolpo trek are the autumn (Sept– Nov) and spring (Mar–May) seasons. These periods offer optimal weather conditions, stable temperatures, and the clearest mountain views, which are essential for this remote, high-altitude trek. Here’s a table.
| Season | Months | Considerations |
| Autumn | Sep, Oct, Nov | Trails can be busier in October, and nights are cold at high altitudes. |
| Spring | Mar, Apr, May | Some high passes may still have snow in early spring (Mar/Apr), and late May can see some pre-monsoon haze or clouds. |
Tips: You can also choose the monsoon season (Jun–Aug) as an alternative, since Lower Dolpo lies in the Himalayan rain-shadow zone and receives very little rainfall.
Meals, Food, and Accommodation Availability at Lower Dolpo
Accommodation in Lower Dolpo is limited due to the remoteness of the region. We’ll stay in basic teahouses in villages like Dunai, Tarakot, Dho Tarap, and Ringmo near Phoksundo Lake. These family-run lodges offer twin rooms with foam mattresses and blankets. Heating, private bathrooms, and strong electricity are rare. In remote sections between villages and near high passes, camping is required. Trekking crews will set up sleeping tents, dining tents, kitchen tents, and toilet tents.
Meals on the Lower Dolpo trek are full-board and planned to meet energy needs. The most common meal is dal bhat with rice, lentils, and vegetables. It provides calories and is easy to digest at high altitude. Breakfast includes porridge, eggs, Tibetan bread, chapati, and tea. Lunch and dinner have noodles, soups, potatoes, fried rice, or simple pasta.
Meat is rarely available, and freshness cannot be guaranteed. Many trekkers choose vegetarian meals for safety. Drinks here include milk tea, black tea, butter tea, and simple coffee. Safe drinking water is also provided by boiling or filtration at camps and lodges. In addition, bring personal snacks and energy bars from cities like Kathmandu or Nepalgunj to maintain energy on long walking days.
