Dolpo is located inside the Shey Phoksumdo National Park of mid-western Nepal, behind the Northside of the Dhaulagiri massif towards the Tibetan plateau. Cut off by a series of very high passes, closed by snow most of the year, Dolpo remains truly an isolated corner of Nepal. Time had stood still here for centuries, so has the inhabitants' way, since time immoral. The finely preserved ecosystem encompasses a wild and wonderful variety of plants and wildlife, including the blue sheep and snow leopards. A trek through Dolpo to Mustang is an experience not easily forgotten. We travel in the restricted area of this region from Shey to Lo Monthang. We will need to have a special permit to do this route, and a government representative to accompany the party as per rule.

Upper dolpo
Dolpo is a most remote and least developed district in Nepal. Although a few anthropologists and geographers had explored the region, the entire district was closed to trekkers until 1989 when the southern part of Dolpo was opened to organised trekking groups, Shey is still closed to foreigners. One story cites the reason for closure as the large-scale theft of statues from monasteries several years ago. It is possible to visit Tibetan-style “inner Dolpo” villages Tarap and at Phoksundo Lake, but most of the southern part of Dolpo is a region of Hindu influence.

Upper Mustang
Once inaccessible, The forbidden land of Mustang is now open to trekkers, and offers an unforgettable experience beyond the Annapurna massif. Mustang is north of the Annapurna circuit, beyond Jomsom, Kagbani and past the sacred shrine of Muktinath and the Manang valley. Mustang is the one of the most unspoiled and least traveled places in Nepal. Being under the rain shadow of the Himalayas, the area receives scanty rainfall. This makes Mustang dry and arid...very similar to the adjoining Tibetan plateau. To preserve the natural & social environment, His majesty's Government has fixed the quota at 1000 heads per season. This trip begins with a flight from Kathmandu to Jomsom via Pokhara. People wishing to include the Annapurna region with their trek in to Mustang can start their trek from Pokhara to Jomsom, passing along the bank of the Kaligandaki river towards Kagbani. On the route, the trail passes the village of Tangbe, Samar, geling and Tsarang which is considered to be one of the most interesting places of the trek. In ancient Tsarang (about 800 years old ), a set of human hands, said to belong to the site's master builder, remain according to legend the king cut the builder's hands off to prevent him from constructing another place to rival it.We then arrive at the walled capital, "Lo-Manthang", dominated by old Buddhist monasteries. on the return journey, we visit Muktinath, one of the holiest of Hindu temples. Then we follow the route to Jomsom from where we fly to Pokhara and back to Kathmandu.

Can I do trek?

It does not require that you have any previous trekking or mountaineering experience. Although the terrain is not difficult, some vigorous hiking experience is useful. And It does not require any technical experience; only that you be in good physical conditioning and be able to hike for 4-6 hours over hilly terrain with a light day pack.

Do I need 14 days holiday for Annapurna Jomsom Muktinath Trek?

Half of February to First week of June: From the half of February until the first part of June temperatures are relatively warm, 10° to 15° warmer than in the fall. Mornings are bright and clear with the air slowly becoming hazier as the day progresses. The rhododendron forests in springtime are spectacular, with color displays that are "Himalayan" in beauty. June is warm and green with many fewer people - the sense of solitude is much greater than other seasons.
