August 2026: Upper Dolpo Odyssey
Culture, Wilderness, Adventure in the Nepal’s Forbidden Valleys
Magar Adventure invites you on an extraordinary trek to Nepal’s best-kept secret. A breathtaking human adventure where Tibetan culture meets the towering peaks of the Himalayas.
A 24-day journey through secluded valleys, snow-capped passes towering above 5,000 meters, and villages steeped in millennia-old culture
Along the way, you’ll discover the mesmerizing Phoksundo Lake (3,730 m), its turquoise waters cradled by ochre cliffs, making it both a natural wonder and a sacred site for Buddhists.
The trek crosses the breathtaking Chhoila La (5,050 m) and Chan La (5,378 m) passes, offering panoramic views of the Himalayan giants, and leads you to Tibetan villages like Dho Tarap, as well as monasteries adorned with Buddhist murals and fluttering prayer flags. The Dolpo region is home to Tibetan and Magar communities, many of whom still practice the pre-Buddhist Bonpo faith.
