Gallery from Phoksundo
Walk into Shey Phoksundo National Park to reach Nepal's most iconic turquoise alpine lake, waterfalls, and the remote village of Ringmo.
This 14-day journey is the perfect introduction to Dolpa - remote enough to feel wild, but shorter and more accessible than Upper Dolpa. After flying to Juphal, you trek through deep valleys and pine forests into Shey Phoksundo National Park.

One of Nepal's most photogenic alpine lakes with unreal turquoise color.
Traditional stone houses, prayer flags, and warm hospitality at the lake's edge.
See a dramatic cascade plunging into the gorge below the lake outlet.
Pine forests, river valleys, and pristine trails inside a protected landscape.
Remote Himalayan traditions where pre-Buddhist Bon culture still echoes.
Shorter days and amazing viewpoints make this a perfect - remote-but-manageable - trek.
Spot blue sheep and birds of prey; the park is also snow leopard habitat.
Far fewer trekkers than the classic routes - with a real sense of discovery.
Local guides, good pacing, and full logistics for a relaxed remote experience.
A classic Lower Dolpa route to Phoksundo (minor changes may occur due to flights/weather).
This route focuses on Lower Dolpa and Phoksundo and typically requires a national park permit. Some extensions may require additional permits - we'll confirm based on the exact route and season.
It's generally moderate, with several long days but a lower maximum altitude than many high Himalayan treks. Regular cardio training and hiking practice are recommended.
Best seasons are typically spring (April-May) and autumn (September-November). Monsoon can be possible in Dolpa due to its rain-shadow influence, depending on route and flights.
