Upper Dolpo Trek...
The first part of Dolpa trek is not difficult and
provides delightful walking before joining ancient
trade routes and the steep ascent to cross the Kagmara
La 5225m, than entrance to upper Dolpo region. The
scenery begins to change with the hills becoming shades
of red, brown and gray. Eventually you can hear prayer
flag fluttering at the top of the pass, and the view
opens up dramatically looking east towards the snow
peaks of the kanjiroba Himal and the five peaks of
Dhaulagiri. We soon walk through the pleasant green
pastures to the beautiful Phoksundo (Rigmo) lake.
The scenery is outstanding with the deep blue waters
of the lake contrasting with the weathered red and
brown hills. We cross over two high passes, the Bag
La 5182m and the Numa La 5148m. From the Numa La descend
into the Tarap valley to the village of Dho Tarap.
Our adventurous journeys finally comes to and end
at Juphal with an easy two days walk following the
Bheri River to the small airstrip at Juphal and we
fly back to Kathmandu via Nepalgunj.
