Overview

Trip overview

A quick summary of the route, support level, and the main things travelers should know before booking.

✦

The Upper Dolpo, one of the remotest, the least exposed, less explored and naturally isolated by the difficult topography in the north-west region of Nepal, beats all other remote trekking destinations in Nepal. Along with the unparalleled beauty of the landscape, trekking in this region of Nepal also allows you to experience Bon (religion older than Buddhism) - the original Tibetan religion and their culture, social life and religious practices. Another treasure of this trekking destination is the Shey Phoksundo National Park (3555 km2), the biggest national park in Nepal and the Shey Phoksundo Lake (the deepest lake in Nepal). Moreover, this area in Nepal is also very rich in medicinal herbs, despite being thinly vegetated and shadowed from the seasonal rain. In order to preserve the unique culture, the ancient tradition of the people and the exceptional beauty and ecosystem, the Upper Dolpo region is restricted and requires a special permit.

✦

Amigo Treks and Expedition offers standard 24 days Upper Dolpo trek package that also includes a visit to major attractions of the Kathmandu Valley. The actual trip starts with a flight, first from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj and then to Jhuphal- the starting and the ending point of the Upper Dolpo Trek. This trekking also covers certain parts of the Lower Dolpo Trek. It’s a long, strenuous trek, which requires a physically fit body with previous trekking experience. Spring and autumn are the best season to plan this trek.

✦

The Upper Dolpo Trekking package by Amigo Treks and Expedition offers the benefits of bed and breakfast in Kathmandu, and full board (meal and accommodation) during the trek. The accommodation is arranged in a tented camp or even in a lodge (very basic) subject to availability. The breakfast and dinner will be served in the accommodation, where we stop for overnight. Transportation in Kathmandu and Nepalgunj is private. The company will also make the arrangement of experienced, trained and government authorized English speaking guides, and all other required permits. However, the package can be customized to your requirements. We guarantee flat rate on all our trekking packages and we also ensure special discount if you bring a group along with you.

✦

Moreover, if you are looking for shorter treks in the remote areas of Nepal, 18 days Lower Dolpo Trek, and 16 days Upper Mustang Trek are some of the best options. Enjoy the trek!

Itinerary

Day-by-day route outline

Amigo family welcomes you to the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu. You will be received by one of the company representatives, upon your arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA). The same person will transfer you from the airport to the hotel (tourist standard) booked for you in Kathmandu (in a private vehicle). Same day in the evening we conduct a short meeting at our office to introduce you to the team members (especially guides) and brief you regarding the trek itinerary. The meeting will be followed by a welcome dinner (hosted by the company) at one of the finest local restaurants in Kathmandu, where you can enjoy ethnic dance and cultural music along with authentic Nepali food. In the case of a delayed flight, the meeting and the dinner will be postponed for the next day. The night will be spent in a tourist standard hotel in Kathmandu. Meals included: Dinner (Highlights of the day: Typical Nepali food, cultural music, ethnic dance and cozy hotel room.)

Today, after breakfast at the hotel, we will take you for a city tour or tour of attractions in the Kathmandu Valley with great natural, cultural and historical importance. We will visit UNESCO World Heritage sites like, the temple of Pashupatinath, Stupa of Boudhanath and Swayambhunath and the very famous Kathmandu Durbar Square. A few hours will be spent observing and capturing the attractions of these sites, after which we will again meet at our office for the final preparation of the trek. Once everything is finalized for the trek, we will head back to the hotel for overnight stay. Meals included: Breakfast (Highlights of the day: A demo of superb historical architecture (Kathmandu Durbar Square), a Hindu Shrine dedicated to the Lord Shiva, projecting pure Hinduism (the temple of Pashupatinath), and a Buddhist shrine projecting pure Buddhism (the stupa of Boudhanath and Swayambhunath). Optional site: Another World Heritage site- the Patan Durbar Square, along with other architecture: Mahaboudha Temple, Krishna Temple, the Golden Temple and Kumbeshwor Temple, presenting historical masterpieces)

After breakfast at the hotel in Kathmandu, you will be transferred to the airport (in a private vehicle), to board a flight to Nepalgunj. After about an hour of scenic flight the plane will land at the Ranjha Airport located in Nepalgunj. From the airport, you will be transferred to the hotel booked for you in Nepalgunj. If time permits, we can spend the remaining day visiting the attractions of Nepalgunj: mini zoo, Muslim bazaar and the Tharu villages. In the evening, we will get back to the hotel and make preparations for the next day’s flight to Jhupal. Overnight in a hotel in Nepalgunj. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (Highlights of the day: Scenic flight from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj; attractions of Nepalgunj like, the mini zoo, Musim Bazaar and the settlement, lifestyle, culture of Tharu people in their villages in Nepalgunj.)

After breakfast at the hotel in Nepalguj, we will be transferred to the airport in Nepalgunj, to board an early morning flight to Juphal. The plane flying over the high mountains will land at the airport in Juphal, where we meet the rest of the crew members (especially porters), awaiting our arrival. The luggage will be prepared for the porters, while you enjoy your lunch. Once the arrangement is finalized, we will walk down, toward the bank of the Thuli Bheri River, past a beautiful village and terraced fields. As we reach the river, following the bank of the river we further walk down towards the bridge across the Thuli Bheri River. Crossing the bridge, we now head up towards our destination, Sulighat. Sulighat is about 2-3 hour walk from the airport in Juphal. Overnight in a camp in Sulighat. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (Highlights of the day: Mesmerizing aerial view of the Himalayas, including Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, a beautiful settlement of people that exhibit mud and rock built houses with Hindu flags flapping on the roof top, terraced fields and the lifestyle of people en route.)

After breakfast, the walk continues towards Renje. Crossing the bridge, and now on the west bank of the river, we first head towards Jyalhasa- a winter settlement of Rimgmo village, past abandoned settlement of Raktang, herders’ hut and horse pastures over the ridge. Before heading ahead, we again cross the bridge and now following the up and down trail, passing through grasses and fern along the east bank of the river we reach the trail junction to Phoksundo Lake. Following the Phoksundo Lake trail, we first continue up on a ridge and then down on a rocky path to Chepka. From here, staying close to the river, we climb a small ridge, cross to the west side and continue upstream climbing up and down to the Renje campsite. Overnight in a camp in Renje . Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (Highlights of the day: Interesting settlement of people in the villages like Jyalhasa and Raktang; herders hut, horse pastures, ridges and rocky path and the soothing company of the river.)

After breakfast, the walk continues first up the ridge and then down to the wooden bridge. From the bridge about an hour of up and down walk, along the valley floor will take us to the confluence of the Pungma River and the Phoksundo River. Crossing the river, and now on the west bank of the Phuksundo River, the trail continues through the forest, traverses a grassy slope high above the river and switches back steeply on a sandy trail through open country. From this place, the trail gets much steeper (around 400 meter ridge). Shortly after we cross the ridge, we will get the first view of the Phoksundo Lake. We will then descend through the forest of Birch and Chir pine to the upper ridges that allows us to enjoy the rushing water of Phoksundo River. Finally a gentle climb will take us to the charming village of Ringmo. Following the trail along the edge of the village, we walk all the way up to the Phoksundo Lake. Overnight in a camp in Phoksundo Lake. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (Highlights of the day: The Tibetan cultural school for Tibetan refugees; a trail that passes through the forest of Birch and Chirpine, grassy slope, sand and ridges; a very close up view of 200meters high waterfall, - the highest waterfall in Nepal; prayer flags, the Phoksundo River, the Ringmo Village, and the breathtaking view of the Phoksundo Lake.)

This day can also be taken as an acclimatization day or the rest day after 3 days of walk without proper rest. Therefore, today, instead of heading further after breakfast, we set out to explore the very beautiful Phoksundo Lake- alpine fresh water oligotrophic and the deepest (145m) lake in Nepal. After exploring the lake area, we also explore the Ringmo village, located south of the lake and white Thasung Chholing Gompa. If time and energy permits, we also walk all the way up to see the source of the lake. Overnight in a camp in Phoksundo Lake. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (Highlights of the day: The very spectacular aquamarine colored Phoksundo Lake; more than 20 stupas in the southern belt and Gompa in the eastern belt of the lake; traditional Ringmo village mostly inhabited by Tibetan ethnicity of Bonpo faith and the white Thasung Chholing Gompa decorated with prayer flags and prayer wheels.)

After breakfast, the hike continues skirting the shore of the lake as it curves on a rocky ridge along the western bank of the lake. The trail is uneven and is suspended on a gangplank of wood that is maintained by pegs driven into the crevasse in the rocks -the first example of the remoteness of the area. As we reach the westernmost edge of the lake, the path leads through a lush meadow that later opens up into the flood plain of the Phoksundo River. From here onwards, we walk through the valley, cross the river and avoiding the rare marshy land we stop today’s hike at the bank of the Phoksundo River. Overnight in a camp near Phoksundo River. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (Highlights of the day: The mesmerizing view of the lake; uneven, yet a very adventurous trail; lush meadow, wet land and gushing Phoskundo River.)

After breakfast, leaving the camp site, we head towards the confluence of the Phoksundo River and Ghyampo Kapuwa River through a glacial valley. Crossing the wooden bridge, we continue on a hardly distinctive path, towards the north-east of the valley on the Shey Gumba trekking trail. The trail is difficult, which makes us climb over the rocks and boulders and ford a stream that rushes down the steep valley. After a long climb, we reach a sheep meadow, where the trail swerves up a steep gorge. From here, a steep and hard climb to the top will take us to another valley that presents us the view of the Kang La pass. The night will be spent in a tented camp in Phoksundo Bhanjyang. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (Highlights of the day: An experience of Glacial Valley, trail that passes through rocks, boulders stream, sheep meadow, steep ravine and the view of Kang La pass.)

Today we start early. After breakfast, the walk continues towards the Kang-La pass. The steep trail littered with slate scree makes the walk quite strenuous. The top of the pass presents the amazing view of the large valley cut across into two halves by a gushing river. As we descend from the pass, the path leads us on a long winding trek along the banks of the river, which also requires us to crossing it several times. We walk past the meadow and the old nomadic hut of the herders. Soon we will see a red chorten that marks our arrival at the Shey Gompa. Here we cross the old wooden log bridge and walk up to the Shey Gompa. The night will be spent in a tented camp in Shey Gompa. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (Highlights of the day: Beautiful view of a large valley and the bisecting river; mud caves, meadows-sometimes yaks, a herd of sheep and the mountain goat grazing; nomadic hut of the herders; traditional log bridge, chorten and the very famous Shey Gompa.)

Today, both for the purpose of exploration and acclimatization we visit a monastery, Shey Gompa and the Crystal Mountain, built during the 11th century. The monastery belongs to the Chaiba community, who are the followers of saint Padmasambhava and is the first Kagyaupa monastery. Shey Gompa is located above the confluence of Kangjunala and Yeju Nala River. After exploring the monastery we also visit the crystal mountain and then get back to the camp for overnight stay. Meals included:Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (Highlights of the day: An ancient pre-Buddhist culture-Bon PO; the architecture of Shey Gompa; the Crystal Mountain, whose cliffs are laced with quartz and embedded with a rich variety of marine fossils; prayer mills that are turned by water wheels and the entire gompa area.)

The Namgung Village is the destination set for the day. After breakfast, we continue to walk towards the destination. Initially the trail is pleasant as it runs through the juniper and descends into a gray, stony canyon. Then a zigzag path over bare rocks and coarse eroded soil will lead us to the top of Saldang La. The long, tiring trail steeply descends north until we see the first sight pastures of grazing yaks and sheep and nomadic tents. This is a sign that we are approaching towards the Namgung village. Soon we will see a red stone structure build against the backdrop of a cliff on the north wall of a gorge. The structure is Namgung Monastery of the Karma-pa sect, which has now collapsed. We will explore the monastery, village and the nearby area. The night will be spent in the tented camp in Namgung village. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (Highlights of the day: The experience of juniper forest, stony canyon, bare rocks and coarse eroded soil, pastures of grazing yaks, sheep and nomadic tents; Namgung Monastery, Namgung village, terraced fields and the newly built monastery in the village.)

Leaving the beautiful village of Namgung, we will head towards today’s destination, after breakfast. Initially, we ascend a scree slope and then continue along the dusty barren mountains. After some hours of hard climb, we will be greeted by the picturesque view of Saldang (the largest village of the Inner Dolpo) below on a plateau high above the Nam Khongmala. We walk all the way down to Saldang. If time permits, we also explore the village and the lifestyle of people living in the village. The night will be spent in a camp in Saldang village. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (Highlights of the day: An experience of hard climb on a scree slope, barren mountains; picturesque view of the largest village in Dolpa situated in the arid zone of the Trans-Himalayan Tibetan plateau; the peaceful settlement of about five villages having about eighty well built houses accommodating the population of about 600 people and the beautiful terrace farms.)

After breakfast at Saldang, the trail further heads north towards the destination, Yangze Gompa. A fairly gradual path with few ups and downs along the Nagon River will also make us walk past the small settlement like Tiling, Kigaon and Lurigaon. We will the cross the bridge over the Panjyang River and a short walk from here will lead us to a rarely explored area of this region, the Yangjze Gompa – a very old Bon-Po Monastery.

Sibu is the destination of the day. There are two trail options to Sibu. However, in order to save time, we retrace the path leading towards Saldang village. As we reach Saldang, following the river bed we walk past the terraced fields, stupas, chortens, mani stones, Chaiba monastery, and Namdo village located left of the Nam Khong River. From here, we further continue for about two hours to reach the destination, Sibu. The night will be spent in a tented camp in Sibu. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (Highlights of the day: Stupas, chortens, heaps of mani stones, terraced fields, Chaiba monastery, Namdo village, Nam Khong River, Namdo monastery and the settlement of Sibu.)

The night will be spent in a tented camp in Jeng La Phedi. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (Highlights of the day: The company of Nam Khong Khola and caravan of laden yaks heading towards Tibet boarder; and a steep climb up to Jeng La Phedi.)

After breakfast at the Phedi, around two hours of uphill climb will take us to the top of the Jeng La pass that greets us with a beautiful view of snow ranges and the north face of Dhaulagiri massif. After spending some time here on the pass, we descend through rough path towards the Tarap valley. Around the afternoon, we come to the green valley, which further leads us on a pleasant track down towards Tarap Chu. On the way, we also visit Tokyu monastery belonging to Chaiba sect.

Everest Base Camp Trek

★★★★★

WOW, Where do I start? I have wanted to do this trek for about 30 years, so when we decided to book we compared many trekking companies to decide who to go with and #AmigoTrekking scored the best and they certainly lived up to expectations. We had an amazing journey far better than our wildest dreams. There were a few reasons why our trip was so good and here's why. Prior to the Journey: AMIGO Trekking were so professional prior to the journey, answering my numerous emails in the leadup in regards to gear requirements, weight of rental gear and logistics. We communicated with Niti regularly and she always got back to me within 24 hours. This is very important when trying to plan such a trip. Amigo and Niti were also the only company that effortlessly accommodated our desire to extend our stay in Tengboche to attend the festival at the monastery. (November) Once we arrived: We were greeted at the airport by a very friendly and professional mountain guide 'Hari Adhikari' who immediately helped us navigate our exit from the airport making a very chaotic situation easy. We felt like royalty. Little did we know at that point just how much this one man would shape our trek into the amazing journey it became. For the next 14 days Hari was by our side perfectly pacesetting our speed for success. He steered us to quality tea houses with the best food for breaks, negotiated the best rooms for us every night and even showed us the best spots for pictures along the way. His experience and cheery disposition was very visible with every interaction he had. He seemed to be best friends with every guide, porter and tea house owner we passed. Hence we nicknamed him 'Happy Hari'. No task was too big or small and he made a point of letting us know where he'd be every night (his room number, tent or dining room) in case we needed him. He was not only the main reason for our successful completion of the Trek, but added many enjoyable moments for us as well. If you are lucky enough to have Hari as your guide, make sure you take a pack of UNO cards with you. Hari loves the game! Along with Hari we were also lucky to have on our team an amazing young man Chandra (Sandra) who was our super human porter. He too always wore a smile, even when lugging our bags over rock after rock! Thanks mate, we don't know how you do it. If we can impart one thing we've learned that will make your Trek in Nepal memorable. It's go with Amigo and insist on Hari and Chandra. You won't regret it! Thanks guys, we are forever grateful.
