Section 8: From Juphal to Jumla via Maure Lagna 3895m, Camping Trek 15 Days
This trek, to Nepal's remote and seldom seen Wild West, is possibly one of the best long treks in the Himalaya. This follows the route taken by Peter Matthiessen and mmortalized in his famous book The Snow Leopard. The Dolpo area was also the area where Rodney Jackson, a naturalist, conducted his study on the elusive snow leopards which became the subject of a National Geographic article and a book - Vanishing Tracks. This trek offers one of the remotest terrain, natural grandeur and Buddhist villages few westerners have yet visited. Moderate trekking and camping are through areas, rarely visited by tourist, in altitudes ranging a maximum of 38950m. Trekking in Dolpo region is difficult level by the point of view of accessible. The settlement in this area is started in the 10th century by farmers and Tibetan nomads. Shey Phoksundo National Park covers and protects the most of the part of Dolpa. You will enjoy with varied landscape, people around and wilderness region. Popular and preservative land of Bon-Po symbolism which was a system in Tibet before Buddhism was stablished. Bonpo is developed from the animist group. Most monasteries in Dolpo are either Bon or Kagyupa, although there seems to be a trend to convert to Nyingmapa. The trek will end after passing the beautiful landscapes and scenic villages in Jumla. Then you will fly back to Nepalgunj and kathmandu in same day.
