Upper Dolpo Trekking

Overview

Upper Dolpo Trekking is one of the adventurous as well as challenging journeys to the most far-flung regions of Dolpo. Dolpo was a restricted area with a reliable Tibetan culture largely untouched for the last 1200 years until 1996. It is high, dry plateaus with deep canyons, which is a distinct contrast to the fertile lower valley to the south of the Kanjiroba and Dhaulagiri ranges. The trial to Upper Dolpo goes through natural border of the two regions, exploring one and then the other. We’ll often meet migrants from Tibet and explore ancient Buddhist sites.

Our journey to Upper Dolpo Trekking begins in the lowlands of Lower Dolpo following lush valleys and Steep River to the south of the Himalayas. Then we will enter the distinctive heights of the Tibetan Plateau, upper Dolpo. We have enough time to explore the surrounding and Tibetan-style villages, busy with the autumn harvest. From the place called Saldang we head into the remote regions of Dolpo, Khoma, Shimen and Tinkyu in the fantastic Panzang valley. The paths that connect these remote villages and high passes are some of the culturally interesting routes in Dolpo. The inhabitants still trade with Tibet along the old salt routes. This is also one of the highest inhabited realms on the planet. Dolpo is still a stronghold of the pre-Buddhist as well as Tibetan Buddhism.
