Trip Facts
Overview
Upper Dolpo Trek is much more remote as it is a shrouded reach inside the fringes of Nepal. Like Upper Mustang, their folks came as pioneers from the Tibetan plateau more than 1000 years prior. It is the highest populated place on earth. It is a hostile location as winter comes ahead of schedule to its high heights. Be that as it may, the people there have figured out how to build up subsistence living through cultivating on the banks of rivers. Their settlements are fortress like, and there are mind blowing waterfalls and lovely lakes in the Upper Dolpo area. It has a share of the finest landscapes in all of Nepal.
Upper Dolpo Trek has no roads, and the majority of the area is not even accessible by flight. The only plane accessible place is at the district city of Dunai which is a few days travel from Upper Dolpo. Upper Dolpo has some of the most remote and excellent Buddhist monasteries. The antiquated Tibetan Bön Religion is still practiced in spots. Height in Upper Dolpo ranges from above 4000 meters.
If you are looking for wilderness adventure in Nepal then Upper Dolpo is a great choice as you will explore the unexplored.
