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.
Outline of the 17 Day Trek to Dho Tharap
Days 1 -5: Arriving in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, 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 first few days walk will help to acclimatise you to the higher altitudes as we slowly trek northwards. You may feel like you’ve stepped back in time to the Medieval times as time slows down as nature feels closer than ever.
Days 6-11: Now you will be getting used to walking 4 – 6 hours each day, you will start to increase your altitude and trek over a high pass of nearly 4000m. On day eight we will reach Dho Tarap (3944m), a famous settlement that has been a trading crossroad for centuries. After having the experience of walking many days in wild, unpopulated terrain and arriving at this remote village, you will discover much more than an ordinary traveller to Nepal. This exepdition is off-the-beaten-track and will provide an insight into Himalayan mountain people’s lives few get to treasure. You will take a rest day and spend some quality time in the settlement of Dho, and can chat with locals over a cup of Tibetan Tea, with the help of your expert guide for translation.
Days 12-17: You will travel back down the same way you arrived, but different spots for camping can be selected depending on how slow or fast the group may be walking.
You will be camping for the whole time away on the trek, and every night you will go back to the same tent, and sleep under the stars. The campsite will be taken care of for you and all meals including tea in bed
