This upper Dolpo circuit is also the complete one, which consists of entire Dolpo region including the passes Kangla (5200m) and Gela (5100m) and the 2nd biggest village of Dolpo: Saldang and Shey Gumba.
Dolpo region, that culturally and naturally resembles the Mustang region, lies in the direct route between Tibet and Nepal, where we cross the caravans of yaks carrying salt and wool from Tibet. It makes any trekkers feel the lifestyle of mountainous region. It offers a highly adventurous journey where you get to feel the rhythm of chörtens, Buddhist prayer spots and watching Blue Sheep, Snow Leopard, Rabbit and Marmot in the Shey Phoksundo National Park where Shey Phoksundo Lake lies.
Highlights: Phoksundu Lake, Dho-Tarap, Nomad Life styles Shey Gumpa and monasteries etc.
