Trip Overview

Classic Lower Dolpo Kagmara La pass trekking offers the most challenging trek. On this trek, we cross over three high passes of Jumla Dolpo trek and lower Dolpo trekking in Nepal. This trek takes us to the highest inhabited plateaus in the world. Religion and culture has survived from the 10th century. Now it is the best-preserved examples of Tibetan Buddhism in the world.

 Classic Lower Dolpo Kagmara La pass trekking passes through Kanjirowa Mountains.  On this trek, we explore the pristine areas including the turquoise Phoksundo Lake.  This trek covers two of the most remote regions of Nepal.  Jumla and Dolpo are inhabitants with people following their own way of life. They are distinct from that of the world.
