Trekking in Nepal >> Far Western Nepal Trek

The region is divided into two different parts lower and upper, the area has been open to travelers so they can observe its natural beauty and landscapes for a long time. This is one of the most remote places in West Nepal. Trekking around the lower Dolpo region is quite peaceful and full of interesting sights, you can observe abundant of wildlife - blue sheep, muskdeer, snow leopards and sub alpine vegetation. Along the journey you'll have a unique cultural experience with stunning mountain views of Dhaulagiri range, Kanjiroba, Gurja Himal and many different peaks of far western Himalayas. The main attraction is walking around and camping near by beautiful Shey Phoksundo Lake, which is in a complete wilderness setting.

West Nepal is much more primitive, under developed and wilder than the rest of the country. The terrain is also more jagged and steep with deep valleys and gorges. To visit this part of Nepal is like visiting the rest of the country 20 years ago, so those who trek this area must be prepared for much more primitive conditions than elsewhere in Nepal. Throughout West Nepal there are numerous Malla monuments. Much of our way lies on an important trading route to Tibet and we are likely to see sheep and goats used as pack animals.

The region is predominantly Hindu. Tibetans makes a small part of population yet have a significant influence on the area through trading. Trekking into this region offers serious trekkers an opportunity to explore the country's long preserved secrets: snow-covered glaciers, hidden valleys, mediaeval villages, spectacular lakes, Buddhist Monasteries, flora and fauna and cultural diversities. Only fully supported camping treks provide access to this remote region and requires a special permit which cost higher than other region.
