Dolpo camping Trek: 17 days (Phoksundo Lake) Itinerary.

Dolpo was once an ancient Tibetan Kingdom, It is located in the northeast part of Nepal, only opened for trekkers in 1991.The Himalayan range can be seen in all its splendour , Phoksondo Lake (a famous lake of the region ) and Ringmo village are set within a beautiful scenic setting. Dolpo is located in the rain shadow which means it is unaffected by the monsoon season during the summer , making it a good time to visit. During the summer flora and fauna are at their best, orchids, edelweiss, campanulas and forget-me-nots provide a spectrum of colour.

The region contains a number of high passes with sweeping vistas in an area that is enriched by traditional Tibetan heritage. There are a number of treks in the Dolpo region ranging from a few days to over thirty days.
