Upper Dolpo to Jomsom Trek

Trip Overview

Upper Dolpo Trek ending at Jomsom is a long and demanding journey in the high altitude area of western Nepal but shows the most beautiful and remote areas of the country. Juphal to Jomsom trek is recommended to expert trekkers who are used to trekking to great heights. This trek crosses more than eleven mountain passes, seven of them higher than 5,000 m. Thus this is a difficult route compensated however by the beauty of the countryside and the kindness of the people. This trekking tour is undoubtedly one of the best that can be carried out in the whole of the Himalayas.

We start our trek from Jumal, after two small flights to Nepalgunj on the first day and to Jumla on the second day. The route goes through the high and remote alpine areas and passes and finally comes to beautiful Shey Phoksundo Lake (3600m). From here we will trek via Numala and Bagala pass and get to Upper Dolpo, Do Tarap, the beautiful village of this region. Trek towards Charkha, probably the most beautiful village of high altitude. Then we will trek towards Jomson after passing Sangda La, the highest pass of this trek.
