Lower Dolpa Trekking via Mustang - Jomsom Airport in Nepal !!
Situated in the central west of the country, the focal point of the area is the Shey Phoksundo National Park. In comparison to upper Dolpa, large number of trekkers enters until Shey Phoksundo National Park. The main attraction of the area is the wild and pristine landscape. Geographically, it is similar to Tibetan Plateau and is generally dry, cold and sparsely vegetated. The route begins from Jomsom by meandering through pine and cedar forest with views of the huge Dhaualgiri and as well as Annapurna range in the background. The entrance to Dolpo lies beyond the Jangla Bhanjyang Pass, (4500m). At the head of the valley lay snow-capped peaks and the deserted Tibetan plateau beyond. Protected from rain, this region is dry where the Dolpo inhabitants have carved out a niche of survival in the harsh surroundings by trading with nearby Tibet. A vision of beauty, the Phokshindo (Ringmo) and the legendary monastery of the pre-Buddhist Bonpo sect is our momentous destination. As the most desolate and few developed district in Nepal. This trek is reserved for those with a true logic of adventure in Nepal.
