Explore Dolpo Region

Overview of Dolpo Region

Nestled outside Kathmandu lies the hidden gem of the Dolpo Region, a vast area that feels frozen in time. Surrounded by stark desert landscapes, deep blue skies, and unnamed peaks, Dolpo is an isolated haven where life is marked by the rhythm of ripening crops and the first snowfall. Closed to outsiders until the 1990s, this remote corner of the Himalayas is rich with ancient Buddhist sites, nomadic camps, fortified villages, and Tibetan cultural treasures. 


While the region lacks any 8,000-meter peaks, it compensates with the breathtaking Phoksundo Lake, high mountain passes, and rare wildlife such as blue sheep, musk deer, Himalayan marmots, and the Himalayan Tahr. With Trek 8586, explore the Dolpo Region's rugged beauty, where every trail reveals a world preserved in solitude and stunning natural wonders.

Best Time To Visit Dolpo Region

The Dolpo Region is ideal for trekking in both spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). Spring brings mild temperatures and blooming landscapes, creating a perfect setting for exploration. The autumn season offers a dry and stable climate, with clear skies that provide stunning mountain views and comfortable trekking conditions in Upper Dolpo. 


Surprisingly, even the monsoon season (June to August) is excellent for trekking in Upper Dolpo, as this area lies in a rain shadow, remaining largely dry while much of Nepal experiences rain. Each season reveals a unique side of Dolpo, ensuring a memorable journey with Trek 8586.
