Trip Overview
Congratulations on completing the Upper Dolpo Trek! It's a challenging trek that requires a lot of physical endurance and mental resilience. Here's an overview of what you may have experienced during your trek:
The Upper Dolpo Trek is a remote and isolated trek that takes you through some of the most rugged and challenging terrain in the Himalayas. The trek starts from Juphal, a small town in western Nepal, and takes you through the Phoksundo National Park, which is home to the famous Phoksundo Lake.
During the trek, you would have crossed several high passes, including the Kang La Pass and the Baga La Pass, which offer stunning panoramic views of the Himalayas. You would have also walked through narrow gorges, deep valleys, and rocky terrain, which can be physically demanding and mentally challenging.
One of the highlights of the trek is the opportunity to interact with the locals, who live in remote villages and practice a unique culture and way of life. You may have visited Shey Gompa, an ancient monastery that is believed to be over 800 years old, and experienced the local hospitality and warmth.
The Upper Dolpo Trek is best done during the spring and autumn seasons, as the weather is stable, and the views are at their best. However, even during these seasons, you may have encountered snow, rain, and extreme temperatures, which can add to the challenge of the trek.
Overall, the Upper Dolpo Trek is a rewarding and unforgettable experience that offers a glimpse into the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Himalayas.
