Lower Dolpo, Lake Phoksundo: the shining light
Get away from the big routes like Annapurna, Everest or Langtang and discover new, even more incredible places: your trek in the dazzling Lower Dolpo will be a new experience for you!
The Lower Dolpo trek is a lesser-known itinerary in Nepal, as access is more remote and restricted, and requires a special permit.
But the adventure and thrill of walking off the beaten track is quite extreme on this trip. The Lower Dolpo trekking routes were only opened to foreigners in 1982.
Dolpo lies in the western hills of Nepal in Karnali Pradesh. It is one of Nepal’s seventy-seven districts. It is the largest district in the country, covering an area of 7889 km.
This district is the most remote region popular for hosting the Shey Phoksundo National Park. The name of this park is derived from the Shey monastery and Lake Phoksundo (3612 m ) which are located there.
The majority of people living in this area belong to the Chettri community. The other communities you will meet are the Gurung, Sherpa and Magar. Most of the people here are followers of the Hindu and Buddhist religions.
Shey Phoksundo National Park is the largest trans-Himalayan national park. It was built in 1984 to protect the endangered wildlife that lives here such as the snow leopard, musk deer, Tibetan wolf and many others.
You’ll find that these areas are still underdeveloped, but the friendly nature and warm hospitality will mesmerise you.

TIPS
Tipping is still very common in Asia in general, and in Nepal in particular.
Linked to customer satisfaction, it is an integral part of the country’s culture:
Regardless of salary level, the Nepalese consider tipping to be a sign of appreciation.
The amount of the tip therefore depends on how much you appreciate the service. The rendering and your generosity.

Extension to Chitwan Jungle National Park
In the heart of the verdant jungle of Chitwan National Park, let yourself be surprised by this three-day safari in one of Nepal’s largest forests and nature reserves. This park, which borders India to the south, is a veritable wilderness paradise: one-horned rhinos, leopards, monkeys, bears, elephants and, above all, the famous Bengal tiger inhabit these protected areas.
In autumn, just after the monsoon season, the abundant water leads the animals to spread throughout the park, where the tall grasses provide ideal hiding places.
The real attraction: Kasara Resort****, with its unique charm, situated right next to the park in a lush natural setting. Committed to preserving this delicate ecosystem, the Kasara Resort is an exceptional hotel in perfect harmony with nature for a confidential getaway, where you have the strange impression that time has stood still.

Organisation Content
TRAVEL
- Car, minibus or private bus for road travel within the country.
- 6-seater Jeep with local comfort for transfers on the track. Managed by local companies, the Jeeps impose Spartan comfort. Most of the time, they have several seats at the front facing the road, then, at the rear, two seats parallel to the road, which face each other.
- Domestic flights mainly operated by Yeti Airlines and Tara Airlines.
NB: Domestic flights in Nepal are subject to weather conditions, they can be postponed and / or canceled. In the event of a problem, we will do our best to preserve the initial program. However, the stages of the trek can be adapted and, very rarely, the international flights shifted. In this case, FNV will reorganize your air transport. However, participants cannot claim any compensation and any extra cost will be on charge of the customer.
ACCOMMODATION
- In Kathmandu: accommodation in a family-run hotel (local standard), based on a double room.
- During the trek: accommodation in a lodge. Halfway between refuges and lodges, which offer varying degrees of comfort depending on the region. However, as you climb towards the valleys, they become more welcoming. Because of the isolation and lack of fuel, the rooms in the lodges are not heated. For your personal comfort, it is sometimes suggested that you bring a good sleeping bag, but these days lodges have good duvets/blankets available for everyone.
Separate toilets or in the lodge: In all lodges, the toilets are the most rustic part! Bring light sandals, as hygiene is… local.
Heating the water in the showers requires a lot of energy. There is often a charge for hot showers, but they are often lukewarm because they are heated only by solar energy (more recently & locally by cumulus heaters) or by the fire that prepares your meal. Above an altitude of 3,000 metres, you can order hot-water tanks, which consume less energy and will no doubt save you from catching a cold!
The lodges have electricity: you can recharge the batteries (for a fee, but only a few rupees) and, sometimes, a low-speed Wi-Fi connection (sometimes for a fee).
Lodge owners very rarely accept advance bookings for single rooms.
MEALS
- At midday, picnics in the fields or meals at the lodge. But be careful! This is a real break, and a relatively long one. Our porters take the opportunity to eat copiously. Their traditional dal-bhat, made from rice and lentils, is the main meal of the day. The pace of the walk is therefore different from that generally adopted for trekking, where the lunch break is short. Take the opportunity to rest or go for a walk. -Dall Bath Power HERE- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dal_bhat
- Dinner and breakfast at the lodge. We try to vary the meals (shared menus) between each lodge. However, the majority of Hindus and Buddhists are vegetarians. So we eat very little meat or fish. Dishes are based on pasta, rice, potatoes, lentils, etc.
- During the trek, additional energy foods are available throughout. Bought locally, they offer a more limited choice than in France. If you wish, you can bring extra cereal bars to suit your tastes. Drinks: during the trek, tea is served at meals within reason (max 2 cups/person). Additional cups of tea and other drinks, including mineral water, are at the expense of the participants.
- You can fill your water bottles in the lodges, but it is essential to treat it with purifying tablets. Avoid buying plastic bottles, which should be recycled. You can buy water that has already been treated in the villages (drinking water), which reduces the problem of bottles.
BAGGAGE TRANSPORT
Each participant travels on foot with a light backpack, carrying only their personal belongings necessary for the day (water bottle, camera, protective clothing, etc.). The rest of the equipment is carried by the porters to the next accommodation.
We ask everyone to have only one bag (trekking bag that will be carried) of 13 kilos maximum. Possibility of leaving things at the hotel in Kathmandu and picking them up when you return from trekking.
YOUR INSURANCE AND ASSISTANCE
Adventure travel involves risks that need to be covered by adequate insurance. Assistance mainly covers search and rescue costs, repatriation and medical expenses. It comes into play as soon as a medical report indicates that repatriation is necessary. Beforehand, in regions far from medical facilities and difficult to access, you must agree to the organisation of first aid using local resources (porters, horses, 4X4s, etc.).
Check that your insurance covers loss or theft of luggage and that it protects against the financial risk of cancellation (Visa cards do not offer cancellation cover).
