Dolpo is the most abundant district of Nepal and lies in the mid-western region. The Dolpo trekking is famous for its unique pristine culture, people, and trans-Himalayan scenery. Moreover, the trail includes natural beauties and ancient chortens, monasteries, and Mani walls. Dolpo Dho Tarap Jumla Trek offers a wilderness trekking experience, but it needs to be walking through the three passes, namely Num - la, Baga - La, and Kagmara - La. They are more than 5000 meters high, so the trekkers require the mountain's excellent experience and physical condition.

Dolpo Dho Tarap Jumla Trek begins from Juphal, passing through villages, barren alpine lands, rivers, and green, lush subalpine vegetation. Discovering the hidden treasure of Tarap Valley, making high passes of Num - La and Baga - La, both passes are towering between Tarap Valley and Phoksundo Valley before entering Phoksundo Lake. These are part of the Lower Dolpo Trek, which provides a rewarding experience of the trans-Himalayas, with less rain in the monsoon.

The trail goes to the top route to Jumla but requires traversing by Kagmara - La with an elevation of 5100 meters from Ringmo. Although it passes through the green, lush alpine vegetation, it crosses several rivers, monasteries, and villages in the Shey Phoksundo National Park. It's a buffer zone that gives you lifetime memorable experiences and adventures while trekking to Jumla from Dolpo.

Upper mustang trek

I did this trek in Upper Mustang with my sisters, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed every part of the journey. I also highly recommend kumar as a guide – he was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trek even more special. A truly unforgettable adventure!

A wonderful experience!

I did the Phoksundo Lake trek with Kumar and it was a superb experience. It is an adventure, so you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone, but Kumar always adapts to the unexpected and makes the trip as enjoyable as possible! The landscapes are magnificent, you meet lots of people along the way, and you really push your limits! Kumar is an excellent guide attentive, friendly, and his prices are very fair!

Best company best guide

I recently did an annapurna curcit with my brother and his girlfriend. It was an amazing trek with the help of kumar and his team . It was one of the best experience of our life . The annapurna curcit is the best of the treks that people can choose for. I sincerely recommend this company for other travellers.

Impressive tent trekking Dolpo 2023

The 18-day Lower and Upper Dolpo tour was individually tailored to our needs by Kumar. Kumar had put together a great team of guide, cook and mule guide. This team fulfilled all of our wishes at all times during the entire tent trek. Narsang, our guide, is very attentive and careful along the entire route. Kumar is very reliable. He looked after us very well in the preparation and execution of our trek and during our stay in Kathmandu right up to the farewell at the airport. A highly recommended local company when it comes to individually planning a trekking tour. The trip was a great experience. Chris and Hajo

Honest & Friendly

Our non-profit organisation needed a local tour guide to help with our local guide and logistics. After much research, we engaged with Kumar. During our 4 days trip, Kumar demonstrated excellent local knowledge, punctuality, friendliness. During the trip he never tried to sale us anything. And with a charitable and kind heart, he did not even charge us for this ngo trip. thank you so much.

Reliable and responsible

I was very lucky to have Kumar to arrange our 5 day stay in Nepal. From the pick up at the airport to showing up punctually every morning at the hotel lobby, everything was smooth and hassle free. Kumar is a friendly and kind-hearted gentleman who genuinely wants to help visitors to experience the best of Nepal. Will definitely choose Himalayan Exploration for my next trekking.
