Treking in lower
part of Dolpo also is without doubt one of the wildest and
most remote trekking routes in Nepal - and one, which only
the truly adventurous should consider. From Kathmandu either
we take a flight in to Dunai in central western Nepal via Nepaljung
or a bus drive to Beni and trek all the way to this region.
You then commence trek up the Phoksumdo Valley through tiny
villages and yak summer grazing lands, all the while with the
beautiful Kagmara Peak in sight ahead.
Through deep dark forests and wide river canyons you soon reach the village of
Ankhe - entrance point for the Shey Phoksumdo National Park. High ridges and
deep gorges draw you on until at last you see the great Phoksumdo Lake, and towering
above its western shores the 6612m Kanjiroba Peak, one of the most dramatically
beautiful sights in the Himalaya. On your rest day here you will visit the Phoksumdo
Gompa - a centuries old temple dedicated to the ancient Shamanistic Bon Po religion,
the antecedent of Tibetan Buddhism which is still alive and well in these remote
parts of the Himalaya. There is a possibility of sighting the rare blue sheep.
Crossing a narrow gorges to eventually return to Dunai and Juphal from where
you fly back to Kathmandu. This is an exceptional trekking to take what true
Himalaya wilderness trekking can offer.
