Upper Dolpo is a high-altitude region in the western Himalayas of Nepal. The inhabitants of this region are mainly Tibetans; therefore the region is rich in ethnic Tibetan culture and arts. The Upper Dolpo Trek starts in the northwest region behind the Dhaulagiri massif, towards the Tibetan plateau. The Dolpo region is also known for its abundant Himalayan wildlife, such as Musk Deer, Himalayan Blue Sheep, and the rare Snow Leopard.

This region is also the prime location for the film Himalayan which gets a 1999 Oscar Nomination. It is one of the remotest and least exposed areas of the northern part of Nepal. It also offers rare opportunities to explore many unseen parts of this region. Also, it is familiar as “The Forbidden Kingdom” in its term; foreigners can’t able to enter here. Now we can enter Dolpo through an expensive and restricted area permit.

Upper Dolpo has been mentioned in the books like “Himalayan Pilgrimage,” “The Snow Leopard” and “Stones of Silence” penned by famous authors around the world.

The trek starts from Juphal (2258m) to the Upper Dolpo. The route passes through many gigantic mountain ranges, over the Numa La pass (5,190m/17,028ft), till you reach Phoksundo Lake at Ringmo village inside the Phoksundo National Park.

Clothing and Equipment
Correct Clothing & Equipment are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek. Experienced trekkers will often take only a selection of these items based on what has worked in the past. Please find the equipment list below for your personal use during your trekking with us.

FOOTWEAR

RUNNING SHOES: 1 pair of casual Comfortable support shoes to wear on lighter walking days. LIGHT HIKING BOOTS: 1 pair of sturdy hiking boots in which you should wear a light synthetic sock under a warm heavy sock comfortably, either wool or synthetic. The sole should be flexible but still, provide enough support for your feet. Boots should be very water-repellent. HIKING GAITERS (Optional): 1 pair keeps rocks out of shoes and boots dry in case of precipitation. Optional if trekking pants are worn. WOOL SOCKS : 3 pairs of heavyweight wool socks to be worn over the liner socks. When layering socks, check the fit over the feet and inside boots. Remember to keep one fresh, dry pair of socks available at all times. Socks with padded shins are especially nice with boots. LINER SOCKS : 3 pairs of smooth thin wool, nylon or Capilene to be worn next to the skin. This reduces the incidence of blisters and hot spots and makes the outer sock last longer before needing to be changed. They should fit well with your heavyweight socks.

CLOTHING

LIGHTWEIGHT LONG UNDERWEAR: 2 pairs, tops & bottoms, Capilene, other synthetic or wool. No Cotton. Lightweight is preferable as it is more versatile (worn single in warmer conditions and double layer for colder). Zip-T-neck tops allow more ventilation options. One set of white for intense sunny days and one pair of dark for faster drying gives the most versatility. LIGHT TREKKING PANTS »: Lightweight nylon pants designed to be used while trekking. They are extremely air permeable, dry quickly, and provide sun protection. Zip-off lower leg sections are convenient for switching to shorts. T-SHIRTS: Lightweight crew-style t-shirt that wicks away moisture. The shirt can be made of any synthetic material. BANDANA: Bring bandanas for face masks and other tasks. SYNTHETIC/SOFT SHELL JACKET: A full-zip version is easier to put on and has better ventilation than a pullover. INSULATED DOWN-JACKET: Medium to heavy weight with hood.

HARD SHELL JACKET WITH HOOD: We recommend a waterproof breathable shell material with a full front zipper, underarm zips, and no insulation. This outer layer protects against wind and rain. HARD SHALL PANTS  Waterproof, breathable. Any side zipper length is fine as long as you can get them over your boots.

HANDWEAR

FLEECE/SOFT SHELL GLOVES: 1 pair. A heavier fleece will do a better job of keeping hands warmer when wet than lighter polypropylene or Capilene. SHELL GLOVES WITH INSULATION: 1 pair. Insulation does not need to be removable. A good quality ski glove is sufficient.

HEADWEAR HEADLAMP & SPARE BATTRIES: A good quality climber’s headlamp. For use at night, bring extra batteries! SUN HAT: The sun can be intense at high altitudes. A hat with a good visor protects the nose and eyes. Baseball hats work well. A Buff is recommended to reduce the amount of dust inhaled while trekking and reduce the chance of infection.

NECK GAITER OR BUFF: Buff is preferred for covering the face and preventing sickness.

GLACIER GLASSES: 100% UV, IR, high-quality optical lenses designed for mountain use, must-have side covers, leashes, and a nose guard is particularly helpful. No more than 8% light transmission. If you wear contact lenses we recommend packing a spare pair of glasses—it is a good idea to have these with “photo-gray” or equivalent light-sensitive material so they can double as emergency sunglasses. If you wear glasses we recommend prescription glacier glasses (gray or amber). Talk to your eye care professional to find out where prescription glacier glasses are available. Regular sunglasses are not dark enough and do not provide any side protection from the sun.

PERSONAL EQUIPMENT

SLEEPING BAG: High quality with hood to at least – 10 Degrees, Down is lighter and less bulky, but more expensive than synthetics. (Company provides you sleeping bag for this trek) BACKPACK: A day pack big enough to carry water bottles, a camera, lunch, and extra clothing. 3,000cu.in. max ADJUSTABLE

TRAVELING: 1 for transporting and storing gear. These bags are needed to transport your clothing. PLASTIC BAGS (5): For lining stuff sacks & pack to keep gear dry. Trash compactor bags work best.

During springtime, the average temperature is 22 degrees C (71.6 Degrees F), with a maximum of 30 degrees C (86 Degrees F), during sunny days and a minimum of -5 degrees C (23 Degrees F), in the morning and at night for areas above 4000 meters.

During the trekking all the meals, hot drinks are included, however USD 8 to USD 12 per person a day will be enough to buy chocolates, few drinks during the trekking.

This is a difficult thing to gauge. We have seen everything from USD 20 to USD 500 per person for guides and porters. Tipping is not required, but a small gesture of thanks to your guides and local porters. The level of the tip should reflect the level of satisfaction from and personal involvement with your guide. However, we recommend you to spend minimum 10% of your total trip cost for tipping entire local staffs,
