Upper Dolpo with Jomsom

Overview

Upper Dolpo with Jomsom exploration may explain to you why it is tagged as a trekkers’ paradise. Dolpo is known as a trekkers’ paradise, which is unspoiled and unmarred for not attracting crowds. Allowing only 250 visitors a year it is one of the most restricted tourist sites. This trek takes us to Jomsom avoiding fairly traveled common routes, with the most untouched land.

Written by Eric Valli “Himalayan Caravan” is an Oscar Nominated film that portrays the culture and harsh life of Dolpo. Based on Shamanism –Bon Po, a pre-Buddhist religion is also preserved in this place. Before the advent of Buddhism, it gives us a glimpse of the tribe that spread out throughout the region.

Acclimatizing is necessary while trekking Upper Dolpo with the Jomsom area as you need to cross several passes like Kang-la, Saladang-La, and Chharka-la, etc. and they are mostly above 5000 m in height. Shey Phokshundo National Park, Phokshundo Lake, and ancient Shey Monastery with hospitable local people and smiling faces and again beautiful settlements are what we will encounter while trekking in this area. Also, another attraction is you will pass through Pine, figs, and Bamboo forest.

The Upper Dolpo with Jomsom trek will have ended in Jomsom, which is the headquarter of Mustang.
