Low Dolpo Trek is the mixed of enclave of Buddhist and Hindu culture. This region has a vast and rugged landscape. During the trek we will visit many Buddhist and Bonpo’s monasteries in Pungmo, Ringmo and Dho Tarap valley. Dolpo lays rain shadow of the Himalaya and can trek during monsoon, however it is difficult to get there in summer due to often cancelation of domestic flight to Juphal. If you are travelling in Dolpo in monsoon than you need some extra days for buffer flight cancelation.
Low Dolpo Trek begins flying to Juphal via Nepalgunj. We should spend a night in Nepalgunj. Flight to Dolpo is only possible in morning. Our treks lead us to north of Dunai to the green paddy fields and lush jungle of Ringmo and the stunning blue Lake Phoksundo. After a day explore in this beautiful Lake, Gompas and villages we continue across the Baga La and Numa La Pass to Tarap valley. Dho Tarap is one of the most beautiful land in low Dolpo. Within the valley Tokyo and Dho villages are located with numbers of monasteries. We decent down to Juphal airport and fly back to Kathmandu.

Trekking in Nepal
Everything about our experience with Shambhala Holidays was positive for our three week Nepal family holiday in December 2019. Our tour organiser Sonam worked with us to develop a three week itinerary that included Kathmandu sightseeing, Pokhara, 5 day Poon Hill Trek, Chitwan National Park and Nagarkot. Sonam met us at the airport and introduced us to the guides for our trip. The guides were professional, friendly, knowledgeable, patient and engaging on the treks.
It was my first trip to Nepal, my friend recommended me to contact Shambhala Holidays (Pema and Sonam). Sonam has fully organized my trip – hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara, transfer, air tickets, permits and mountain trek. Also Sonam helped me to fulfill one more my dream – paragliding. In addition I want to mention my guide Chongnuri. He is a friendly guy who arranged all accommodations and meals on the trek, he did his best to make my journey easier and more comfortable.
