About this trip
The Upper Dolpo Trek takes you into some of the most remote and untouched areas of Nepal. This trek is quite challenging but rewards you with sights like the turquoise blue Shey Phoksundo lake, over 800-year old monasteries, and a rugged landscape that is second to none.
With views of peaks like Kanjiroba, Kagmara, Crystal mountain to cheer you on, and fast-flowing streams to sing match you step for step, this strenuous journey at times will feel effortless. You will be witnessing barren landscapes that stretch ahead for miles as well as settlements with only a handful of houses.
While the cascading rolling hills and the towering rocky mountains are undoubtedly the main draws, the cultural significance isn’t far behind. From Shey Gompa, Namgung Gompa, Yangjer Gumba to lines of chortens and prayer flags that dot this trip, you are bound to feel spiritually transported.

My Langtang Valley, Gosainkunda Lake trek with Nepal Social Treks was overall a very good time. The valley, lakes, high pass, and climbing Cherko Ri are beautiful and challenging but all so well worth the effort.
It was a pleasure to do this trek with Prem as my guide. His knowledge and attention to every detail along the way was fabulous. He kept us on a perfect pace throughout the trek and always with a great sense of humour and positive attitude. He was a pleasure to have as a guide.
Thanks to all at Nepal Social for making it a great trek.
Cheers

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have travelled with Nepal Social Treks.
From beginning to end, I felt safe and cared for - a fete as a solo black female traveller.
In February I travelled to Everest Base Camp with Nepal Social Treks. I survived the ‘most dangerous flight in the world’, trekked across beautiful terrain at high altitudes, reaching beautiful settlements including Namche Bazaar, Gorakshep and Everest Base Camp. A once in a lifetime experience that I recommend to all.
My tour guide Biznu was exceptionally experienced and well practised on the terrain. It was amazing to see first hand the skill of an experienced Nepali tour guide. I would like to take this opportunity to say a special thank you to the porters, who carried what we could not at high altitudes and never forgot or broke anything.
Nepal Social Trekking provided excellent kit, including a duffle for clothes and sleeping bag to cover up to -20 degrees.
After travelling to Everest Base Camp, Nepal Social Treks went above and beyond - by helping to arrange a trip for me to Pokhara. In which I was able to experience another side to Nepal, the beautiful lakes and caves available.
My experience throughout (from initially enquiry email, to my flight home) I felt personally taken care of.
A special thank you to Sushila and Luna.
A massive thank you to Basu - you have founded an amazing company.
