Trek Description

Dolpo, often overlooked by development and, until recently, by tourists, remains a timeless place. Familiar to most Nepalis through the film ‘Caravan’ and to non-Nepalis via the best-selling book ‘The Snow Leopard,’ Dolpa captivates with its serene beauty.

Sitting by the Ringmo village, observing the ever-changing colors of Phoksundo Lake throughout the day, one can’t help but feel enchanted. Both altitude and terrain-wise, it is an easy trek to Phoksundo Lake.
