Upper Dolpa-Shey Gompa

Upper Dolpa is the most remote region of Nepal and the major highlight of this area is Shey Phoksumdo lake and Shey Gompa. This region is bordered by the Dhaulagiri to the east and south and Churen Himal range to the west. Trekking to the Upper Dolpo offers you a remarkable experience of a lifetime. You will see pristine snowy peaks, walk through ancient and historical villages, Phoksundo national park,visit Buddhist monasteries and astounding lakes. The people of this area are simple, very much amicable and warm-hearted with enthralling culture that is basically linked with Tibetan tradition. The region has been described as one of the World's “Natural Hidden Shangri-La." We begin the trek at “Juphal” and follows the trail to “Dunai”, then goes ahead to “Tarakot”, way up to “Bang la” Camp, the highest point of the trek; and after passing through the “Sanu Bheri” village, we then descend to the beautiful “Phoksundo” Lake, which is a inevitable part of the “Shey Phoksundo National Park."
