    • Female Guide HolidayOperator•Written August 2026

      At the moment, we do not have a confirmed group available for the Upper Dolpo Trek. However, we will keep your request on record and inform you as soon as we have a suitable group of 4 or more travellers that you can join.

      Regarding luggage, your main baggage will be carried by our trekking porters(2 trekkers-1 porter), while you will only need to carry a small daypack with your daily essentials.

      The trek generally involves around 10–18 km of walking per day, with approximately 5–8 hours of trekking. The daily ascent and descent varies depending on the section of the route, with some days involving approximately 300–600 metres of elevation gain/loss, while certain high-pass days can be more demanding.

      The detailed itinerary, including the daily route and overnight stops, is already available on this website.
