Inner Dolpo Trek – 27 days Highlights

  • Immersion in to remote Dolpo Region
  • Sacred revered Shey Gompa and Crystal Mountain
  • Trekking around the magical Phoksundo Lake
  • Mesmomerizing adventure encounter with 5000+ passes
  • Centuries old Monasteries and Land of Bon Buddhism

Inner Dolpo Trek is one of the most utterly remote and challenging trekking destinations, the high Tibetan valleys are sealed off from the rest of the country by mountain passes over 17,000 feet high, and its people exist in a time warp of Tibetan culture little changed in a thousand years. This is the land of rare Bon monasteries (Bon is the ancient pre-Buddhist religion of Tibet) and the region where we find remote Shey Gompa and Crystal Mountain, both so beautifully described in Peter Matthiessen’s The Snow Leopard. Parts of this trek are also featured in Himalayan Pilgrimage, by the renowned scholar David Snellgrove, and in the movie Himalaya.

This trek is high, tough, and 21 days long, following ancient trading routes to the Tibetan border. Trekking over high passes and steep valleys, through villages and monasteries that were once very powerful, we’ll reach the Kali Gandaki Valley at the border with Mustang. We make our way back to Pokhara on one of the most scenic flights in the Himalaya, taking a breath and reflecting on the beauty and power of our journey.

Adventure Land Nepal or Nepal Jang Treks has been running trekking and climbing expeditions in Dolpo for over 10 years. Adventure Land Nepal or Nepal Jang Treks reaches for the highest standard of ethical business practices.

    The Best Time of Year for the Sher Gompa and Inner Dolpo Trekking:

    The best seasons for trekking in Upper Dolpo are spring (February to late April) and autumn (late September to late November). A summer trek is also possible however, the flight from Nepalgunj to Juphal may be affected by monsoon weather.

    Temperatures on the Sher Gompa and Inner Dolpo Trekking:

    The temperatures at night will drop to around 5C, and during the day will climb to around 25C. At higher altitudes temperatures range from about 15C to 20C. You should be prepared with proper protection from the sun as well as layers of clothing that can be added or taken off easily.

    Sher Gompa and Inner Dolpo Trekking is a Tea House and Camping Trek:

    Accommodation is included in the cost of your package and Adventure Land Nepal or Nepal Jang Treks takes great care to arrange the most comfortable accommodation possible throughout your stay.

    Fitness/Health:

    The altitude becomes more noticeable the higher we go, so we walk at a slow pace and take plenty of breaks to rest and acclimatize.

    Safety:

    When travelling in remote mountain regions, uncertainties such as weather, health problems and natural disasters require a certain amount of flexibility. While our goal is to follow the itinerary, that is not our first priority; your safety is always our first priority. Adventure Land Nepal or Nepal Jang Treks and Expeditions request your cooperation to accept the decisions and advice of our trusted and experienced guides if they deem it necessary to change or cancel any part of the itinerary due to safety concerns.

The mountains are our home and we are unwilling to sacrifice their preservation for human objectives. Adventure Land Nepal or Nepal Jang Treks believe that given the proper information most people will do all they can to help protect and maintain the environment.

    Acclimatization:

    It is really difficult to head straight up to high altitude for the first time even if you follow the recommended 400m-a-day-rule. Our itinerary is planned to allow rational acclimatization and avoid altitude sickness. Please read Altitude Advice.

    Travel Insurance:

    It is strongly recommended to be sufficiently protected when you go into remote areas. You need specialized travel insurance that covers emergency evacuation, injury, lost baggage, liability and medical treatment. Make sure the insurance covers all the activities that you will be undertaking during your stay in Nepal. Adventure Land Nepal or Nepal Jang Treks and Expeditions Pvt. Ltd. can organize the appropriate medical response based on your policy.

We will pay a cash deposit to the helicopter operator and collect the money from you once you have been rescued. Before leaving on the expedition, make sure your policy specifically covers alpinism otherwise you may have a difficult time settling the large claim.

    Annapurna Sanctuary Trekking

    We were 4 people planned to visit Nepal and all of us checked online price and facility of services, comparatively Adventure Land Nepal found average one, then decided to trek to Annapurna Base Camp, after complete the trekking, we would be happy with our decision. Thought that we got right person, right place and right decision, because our trekking organizer was experienced more than 20 years in tourism field. After arriving Nepal and hearing his briefing, it encouraged us to do as soon as possible do this trek.

    He provided us nice package, Guide was strong and honest, he always gave an idea, what to do, how and where, these all moments were very valuable for us as we were beginners of trekking. Any way we had a lot enjoy even it was hard to walk in the hill sides. Up and down on the trails, it is really hard, but Mountain view and Nepalese lifestyle, their behave gave us plus point to forget that hardness.

    We thanks to Mr Chij, manager of Adventure Land Nepal and Guide mr. Khadka. See you again in next trip.
