We, Himalaya Darshan Treks heartily welcome you and your group to Nepal. One of our company staff will take you to your hotel in Kathmandu. The person will be waiting outside the baggage hall of the Tribhuwan International Airport, Kathmandu, holding an A4-size paper with your name and our company name. So, you have to look for that person for your pick up from the airport. Your check-in at the hotel.

Today, you have free time till afternoon. This day is required to make Lower Dolpo Trek special permit with your original passport. So completing the  documentation then ready for flight to Nepalgunj. By afternoon or evening flight. It takes about 1 hours to reach Nepalgunj by flight. Transfer to the hotel.

An early morning 45 minutes flight lands us on Juphal and after a brief sorting and introduction of our crew, the trek finally starts. The trek heads toward Dunai, the administrative headquarter of Dolpo. Stay at the tea house.

A series of streams trace the route for the day through deep pine forests and terraced hillsides to Tarakot, a walled settlement perched defiantly atop its magnificent hillside, with a plethora of flagpoles sticking proudly among the homes. The nearby Sandul Gompa monastery is well worth visiting along a walkway lined with several chortens and mani walls.

The trail climbs steadily during the day, passing through dense forest and past a succession of gorgeous suspension bridges until we reach Laini Odar, a former construction site with a stunning Cliffside setting and a neighboring cave that gives suitable refuge in inclement weather.

As we steadily ascend beside the banks of the Tarap Khola, the lush forest of the previous day gives way to desolate vistas, with alpine animals such as yak and blue sheep on display. The day comes to a close with a magnificent suspension bridge across the Chaya Khola and our arrival at Nawarpani village.

The Tarap Khola leads the way for the first part of the day, bringing us through an undulating trail that peaks at Charka la (4920m) before descending into a tight valley with such a deep ravine that the lower pathways are only lit by the midday sun. The path to Dho Tarap is lined with chhortens and stupas, with the Tibetan village’s whitewashed Gompa standing majestically at its center.

After breakfast hike to Do Tarap viewpoint. It is really nice and beautiful place to visit. A day to relax and adjust to the higher altitudes, with Dho Tarap providing an excellent chance to explore its various charms and watch the traditional Tibetan lifestyles of its friendly residents, who still trade with their ancient homeland to the north via their Yak caravans. With a visit to the Gompa, a network of fascinating laneways to explore.

A large, wide main trail runs via Crystal Mountain School, then through Taksi hamlet. It takes an hour to travel from Dho to Taksi. Another hour on the same trail leads you into a little Tokyo village. The trail begins to ascend in a moderate manner, leaving the valley and the main trail behind. A little stream and a broad valley come on the left side of the main valley coming from Dho after another hour. (Some groups call it Base Camp and set up camp along the river.) After crossing the brook, the trail begins a steep climb up a ridge. The path runs through a number of little stacks of mane stone plates. The steep ascents continue all the way to the Numala Base Camp.

On the crest, the steep climb continues, and after 30 minutes, a quick traverse begins. For the next hour, there will be another ridge and another tough ascent. The climb comes to an end at Numala Pass (5309 meters). The Dhaulagiri Range to the east and the Kagmara Range to the west may be seen from Numala. A steep fall into the main valley leads to the valley’s bottom, where there is a little stream. The trail follows the creek for a short while until it comes to a fork. The trail then crosses the river and proceeds left into the valley. Danigar is reached via a short gradual uphill traverse. It’s a pasture near the valley’s end, flanked by high peaks. Among the ridges that surround Danigar, Norbu Kang is a noteworthy peak.

The day begins with a difficult ascent of the ridge visible from Danigar. After about 2 hours of steep trekking, you’ll reach a location with few mane stones. Following the site, the steepness diminishes with strenuous walking, and a traverse to Bagala La’s summit begins. From the mane stone site, it takes about 40 minutes to go to Bagala La.

After Bagala La, the descent is a little hard, passing through stones and scree. After an hour, the trail enters a valley and begins to follow a creek. The creek winds its way through the valley, and after less than an hour, the trail departs from it and begins a steep descent to Phedi. The trek descent continues through Phedi and then transitions into a pleasant and easy hike to Yak Kharka.

The trail pleasantly traverses for half an hour after leaving Yak Kharka. Then, gradually, a steep ascent begins, lasting nearly an hour until it comes to a halt with a prayer flag. The ascent now becomes easier, and on the opposite valley, a massive cascade rises.

Near the trail, juniper trees and some fields appear, and the Rigmo settlement appears soon after. The entrance to Rigmo village is marked by a bridge that spans the Phoksundo River, which flows out of Phoksundo Lake.

A whole day to explore the gorgeous lake waters and their surroundings. Tshowa, a medieval Bon monastery founded over 900 years ago, is close and offers more exploration chances.

The walk now begins through the Phoksundo River’s carved valley. Jharana Hotel is reached after a 2-hour descent. Until the completion of the walk, the trail stays along or near the Phoksundo River. A pleasant stroll through Rechi’s little settlement is punctuated by short ascents and descents. After Jharana Hotel, the entire day is spent in a tight valley. Chhepka is around 3.5 hours away from Rechi.

The trip follows the same path as the day before and goes into the same valley. On the way to Sulighat, the trail passes through the small communities of Sangta and Kageni. After Sulighat, the valley opens, and the journey continues along the Bheri River‘s bank till Dunai. The trail follows the Bheri River, with the last ascent of about an hour to reach Juphal.

Early in the morning, we will fight in Nepalgunj. As well followed by a flight to Kathmandu and a transfer to the hotel.

This will be the last day of your trip in Nepal. One of our staff will take you and your group to Tribhuwan International Airport, Kathmandu for your final departure. We wish you and your group safe flights with unforgettable memory from your Nepal trip. Hope to see you again.
