Itinerary

For thrill-seekers with prior trekking experience, the "Lower Dolpo Circuit Trek" offers a rare journey into one of Nepal’s most remote and untouched regions. Over 18 challenging days, traverse the wild western mountains, beginning and ending in Juphal and journeying through Shey Phoksundo National Park—home to medicinal herbs, rare wildlife like snow leopards and blue sheep, and striking arid valleys. Experience authentic Tibetan culture and witness the pre-Buddhist Bon Po religion alive in secluded villages. The USP of this trek is the unscripted adventure—untrodden trails, high-altitude passes, and the chance to witness a way of life unchanged for centuries. If you crave a demanding, off-the-beaten-path trekking trip rich in both culture and untamed scenery, this is your ultimate Himalayan challenge.
