Doplo & Rara Region

Trekking in Himalaya

Lower Dolpo Trek

Maximum Elevation: 5190meters
Duration of Trek: 18 days

Lower Dolpo is the least strenuous trek of the two Dolpo treks on this web site (see upper Dolpo trek in restricted regions) nevertheless it is not an easy trek. One of the many highlights of the lower trek is the flat upper valley which contains a number of interesting villages which are mostly inhabited by people of Magar & Gurung origin. There are number of Buddhist and Bon temples to be experienced along the way. This 14 day itinerary allows a more leisurely pace and provides insurance against bad weather.
