Lower Dolpo Trek
Nepal » Trekking » Far Western Region » Lower Dolpo
This is one of the most wonderful treks and gives you an opportunity to experience a part of the hitherto little known far-west Dolpo region of Nepal. Traveling through the valley of Suli Gad, you will cross beautiful forests of pine and juniper. The trail continues above a gorge along with a waterfall until you reach the Buddhist village of Ringmo. From this tiny village you will enter the beautiful Shey Phoksundo National Park which contains the magnificent Phoksundo Lake with its clear blue waters.
