Lower Dolpo Trek is an outstanding trek in the isolated area of west Nepal where
trek can also be done even in the mid monsoon as it lies in the rain shadow area
formed by the Dhaulagiri & Annpurna ranges. The trek begins at the STOL airstrip
of Juphal after a short flight from the terrain town of Nepalgunj which is well
connected by both road and air from Kathmandu.
Trekking in the Dolpo region has it's own charm , people here still leads a
primitive life, yet they are friendly. This is also one of few areas where
pre-Buddhist Bon Po religion is still practiced. The trail goes over three high
passes, the Kagmara La [5115m], Baga La [5090m] and Numa La [5360m] passing the
deep-blue tranquil Phoksumdo Lake and finally concludes at Juphal descending the
gorge-side path of Tarap Khola.
