This is an adventurous trip, and plans may need to change along the way, especially with travel to and from the trek's starting point. Due to the remote location and unpredictable conditions, flexibility is important—and that's all part of the fun! Embracing the unexpected makes the journey even more unique.

A Challenging & Immersive Trek in Remote Northwestern Nepal
‍
This challenging trek through the remote Dolpo region of northwestern Nepal is perfect for adventurous travelers seeking a raw and immersive experience. The journey takes you through breathtaking landscapes, from the rugged terrain of the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges to the serene Shey Phoksundo Lake.

Along the way, you'll encounter unique wildlife like blue sheep and musk deer, while also immersing yourself in the ancient Buddhist and Bon cultures of the region.

The adventure begins with a long overland journey from Kathmandu to Dunai, navigating winding mountain roads and remote trails, offering a chance to witness daily life in Nepal’s rural communities. This greener alternative to flying reduces your carbon footprint, though one flight is included in the journey. The trek crosses two high passes, Baga La and Numa La, reaching altitudes over 5,000 meters, and includes visits to the high-altitude village of Doh Tarap.

With its mix of challenging terrain, cultural immersion, and stunning natural beauty, this trek is truly unforgettable.
