Our fully-catered expedition with mule-train, will guide you through landscapes dominated by deep valleys and high plateaus, ancient Bon Monasteries dating back thousands of years, cliffs, caves and pristine crystal clear mountain rivers, all set against the white peaks of the Himalaya.

Every night you’ll go back to the same tent and sleep under the stars. The camping crew will cook your breakfast and make your morning tea, they will pack up the whole campsite and set it up again in the afternoon ready to prepare the evening meal. This leaves you free to focus on enjoying your time in the great outdoors.

All you need to do is carry your packed lunch, prepared for you in the morning, and a water bottle, camera, sun hat and sun cream. Trekking in Nepal will challenge your physical fitness, but more than that it will challenge your stamina and you will learn to pace yourself in the mountainous terrian. If you dream of enjoying the wild and rugged landscapes of Dolpo, then a fully catered expedition is a must.

Overview of 20 day itinerary

Days 1 -5: You will arrive in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal and a city steeped in myths and legends, where terracotta rooftops and pagoda-style temples scatter the horizon. After a short time in Kathmandu you will fly to Far West Nepal, the most remote region of Nepal. The beginning of the trek will acclimatise you to the higher altitudes, far away from urban living, only small remote mountain villages call Dolpo home. It may feel like you’ve stepped back in time to the Medieval times…

Days 6-11: You will find our crew select the most picturesque camp-sites to stay at as every evening you will be camping in the wild far west. The expedition heads north towards The Numa La Base Camp (4440m) and passes by ancient monasteries still practising 10,000 years of living traditions. Once you reach Numa La Base camp, the trail rises to the first high pass of 5310m, then descends to a lower altitude camp-site. The day after you will then follow the trail to the second high pass, the Baga La Pass at 5169m, after taking in the breathtaking views the trail then descends to a deep gorge and a refreshing lower altitude.

Days 12-20: The treasure to behold after the two high passes is in reaching Phoksundo Lake. A place lost in time, where very few are lucky enough to travel to. Trekking in the far west cannot be compared to trekking in any other region of Nepal because of the remote access and the lack of lodgings that typically cater to trekkers.

• You will be camping for the whole time away on the trek, every night you will go back to the same tent, set up for you by the camping crew. You can relax and keep warm in the dining tent in the evenings and enjoy a hot meal every morning and evening. Lunch is usually a packed lunch.
