Lower Dolpo Trek from Dhorpatan Overview
Lower Dolpo Trek via Gurja Ghat and Dhorpatan - the only hunting reserve in Nepal is one of the classic old treks that rewards visitors with many mountain passes, jungle ravines, and rural villages. Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve and Shey Phoksundo National Park lie in the rain shadow of the Himalayas in the central north-west of Nepal. These two remote areas hide vast wilderness rich in flora and fauna, sparsely populated and extremely beautiful, making for the best trekking in Nepal.
The Lower Dolpo Trek via Gurja Khani Dhorpatan route goes through high passes and very remote areas of the country, so we are rewarded with a marvelous view of mountains and virgin Tibetan culture on the way. This is an attractive trek over many passes. Trekking from Beni to Dolpo is labeled as a difficult level of hike from the point of view of getting there. The main attractions of Dhorpatan in the Dolpo region are the landscape, people, wilderness region, and the famous Shey Phoksumdo Lake.
The Lower Dolpo Trek via Gurja Khani is one of Nepal's most demanding treks and goes through Numala and Bagala Passes, and a remote area of the country where we will experience a lot of ups and downs. We, therefore, suggest trying only for experienced trekkers.
