Our trip was fantastic - Nurbu and his young sherpas were as good as one could get. Martin Humphry (South Africa)
This route travels through a Buddhist region where you will see colourful prayer flags, mani walls and monasteries along the way. Most other trekking companies run the easier Dolpo Circuit whereas we plan to walk out on the remote and challenging trail to Jomsom. Upper Dolpo was first written about by David Snelgrove in his book titled "Himalayan Pilgrimmage" and more recently by Peter Matthiessen in "The Snow Leopard".
We start the trek at the airstrip of Juphal and after a few days walking up the steep Suli Gaad valley arrive to the lush fields of Ringmo. Next to this village is the turquoise blue lake of Phoksundo. After a rest day to explore around the lake we carry on the journey crossing Kang La to Shey Gompa. Two further passes, Saldang La and Jeng La, are crossed to bring us to Tokyugaon near to Dho Tarap. From Tokyugaon we start our challenging seven day trek eastwards to Jomsom crossing the Chhoi La, Chharka La and Sangda La.
