Upper Dolpo: Shey Phoksundo to Shey Gompaのパートナーを探す

概要

Kathmanduから出発峠:Kang La (Nangdalo La), Saldang La, Jeng La22日間 · 最高 5,360 m

ベストシーズン:May–Jun, Sep–Oct · 許可証:Upper Dolpo restricted area permit (Department of Immigration, via a registered agency), Shey Phoksundo National Park entry permit, TIMS card where required

This 22-day circuit crosses Dolpo from Phoksundo Lake to Shey Gompa, the Crystal Mountain monastery, on to Namgung and Saldang in the heart of Upper Dolpo, then over the Jeng La to Dho Tarap and out through Tarakot and Dunai. It flies from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj and on to Juphal, walks through Dunai and Chhepka to Ringmo and the turquoise lake at about 3,610 m, climbs to Lar Tsa, crosses the Kang La at about 5,360 m and descends to Shey Gompa at about 4,360 m. The route covers about 270 km on foot with a gain of roughly 12,000 m, following the stages of the operator itineraries in the sources. Upper Dolpo is a restricted area, so you need a Restricted Area Permit through a registered agency, the national park permit and a licensed guide, and most nights are in tents. It is a hard, remote trek. The best months are May and June, and September and October. Allow spare days for the flights.

What the trek is like

From Juphal, the trail follows the Thuli Bheri river to Dunai, the district headquarters, then enters the national park at Sulighat and climbs through blue pine and birch forest to Chhepka and Ringmo. The lake is the highlight of the first week, with a waterfall, chortens and a Bon monastery. North of Phoksundo the landscape turns dry and treeless, and the path climbs to Lar Tsa and over the Kang La, then drops to Shey Gompa beside the Crystal Mountain. Beyond Shey, a high crossing leads to Namgung and Saldang, the largest village of Upper Dolpo, with flat-roofed stone houses, barley fields and a wide plateau. The Jeng La then drops you into the Tarap valley at Dho Tarap, and a long river descent through Khanigaon and Tarakot returns to Dunai.

Highlights

  • Phoksundo Lake, a 494-hectare Ramsar lake with a waterfall of about 167 m
  • The Kang La, with views of the Kanjiroba range and the Dolpo ranges
  • Shey Gompa, an 11th-century Kagyu monastery beside the Crystal Mountain
  • Saldang and Namgung, with Tibetan-style houses, chortens and barley terraces
  • The Jeng La and Dho Tarap, a walled village in the Tarap valley

Permits and rules

Upper Dolpo needs a Restricted Area Permit from the Department of Immigration, applied for through a registered trekking agency, and the Shey Phoksundo National Park entry permit. The restricted-area permit is charged by the number of days spent in the area, so ask the agency for the current amounts and check them with the Department of Immigration. A licensed guide is compulsory, and most itineraries use camping and a cook. Carry passport copies and permits for the check posts at Juphal and Sulighat.

Best season

May and June, and September and October are the best months. Dolpo lies in the rain shadow, so July and August are drier than in most of Nepal, but cloud over Nepalgunj can ground flights. The Kang La is often snowbound before May and after early November. Winter is very cold and the high villages are empty.

Altitude

The plan reaches Ringmo at about 3,640 m on day 4, with a rest day, then Lar Tsa at about 3,740 m, and Shey at about 4,360 m after the Kang La at about 5,360 m. The saddle between Shey and Namgung reaches about 5,100 m and the Jeng La about 5,100 to 5,124 m, according to OpenStreetMap, and sources quote figures from 5,090 to 5,200 m. The Kang La day is long, with 1,600 m of climbing. Watch for headache, nausea and poor sleep, never ascend with symptoms, and descend if they worsen. Rescue in Upper Dolpo can take a full day, so ascend slowly.

Getting there and away

Fly Kathmandu to Nepalgunj (about an hour) and then to Juphal on a small plane (about 40 minutes). The return reverses this. Flights depend on weather and are often delayed, so keep two spare days in your schedule. There is no road to Phoksundo or Upper Dolpo.

Lodges, food and costs

Lodges operate at Dunai, Chhepka and Ringmo, but in Upper Dolpo most groups camp, using a cook and kitchen tent, with local homestays at Saldang and Namgung. Food is carried in, so costs are higher than on lodge treks, and the permits and flights add more. Bring cash for the whole trek, because there are no machines beyond Dunai.

Packing list

Broken-in boots, waterproof layers, a down jacket, a sleeping bag rated to about minus 15 C, gloves, a warm hat, sun hat, sunglasses, lip balm, gaiters, trekking poles, a headlamp, water purification and a first-aid kit. A trekking umbrella helps in sun and rain.

Who this trek suits and how to prepare

The trek suits fit, experienced trekkers who are comfortable with camping and a few nights above 4,000 m. Prepare with long hill walks with a loaded pack and some altitude experience. The distances are long, and several days run 8 to 10 hours.

The plan at a glance

Days 1 and 2 fly to Nepalgunj and Juphal. Days 3 and 4 walk to Chhepka and Ringmo, with a rest day on day 5. Days 6 and 7 go to Lar Tsa and over the Kang La to Shey, with a rest day on day 8. Days 9 and 10 cross to Namgung and Saldang, with a rest on day 11. Days 12 to 14 go to Rakyo, the Jeng La Phedi camp and over the Jeng La to Dho Tarap, with a rest on day 15. Days 16 to 20 descend through Lahini, Khanigaon, Tarakot and Dunai to Juphal, and days 21 and 22 fly back to Kathmandu.

Extensions

A shorter version returns from Saldang the way you came, over the Kang La, saving about a week. You can also visit Yangtser Gompa from Saldang, add the Numa La and Baga La route from Dho Tarap to Phoksundo, or add rest days to ease the flight schedule.

Practical tips from the trail

  • Start early on the Kang La day, with food, water and warm layers in your day bag.
  • Keep spare days for the Juphal flights, which are often delayed.
  • Walking times in the day plan are estimates from distance and climb; operators quote different hours, and the Kang La, Jeng La and Tarap valley days run long.
  • Carry sun protection: the plateau is bright and dry.
  • Respect monasteries and walk clockwise around chortens.
  • Do not give sweets or money to children.

Responsible trekking

Take rubbish out, use filtered water, avoid wood fires in the national park and buy from local families. Ask before photographing people and ceremonies.
