🏞️ Shey Phoksundo Lake Trek – The Hidden Jewel of Dolpo

Book with Nepal Mountain Adventure Consultants

Embark on an unforgettable journey into the heart of western Nepal’s most remote and mystical region Shey Phoksundo National Park. The Shey Phoksundo Lake Trek offers a rare blend of natural splendor, ancient Bon culture, and timeless Himalayan serenity.

At an elevation of 3,611 meters, Phoksundo Lake mesmerizes travelers with its crystal-clear turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs, and snow-dusted peaks that guard this sacred landscape. Surrounding the lake are traditional *Dolpo villages**, where ancient Tibetan-Bön practices and traditional lifestyles continue to thrive, untouched by modernity.

🌿 Highlights of the Trek

Visit Ringmo Village, a 900-year-old settlement rich in Bon and Buddhist traditions.
Discover Shey Gompa, the mystical “Crystal Monastery,” resting beneath towering mountains.
Trek through untamed highlands, crossing rivers, alpine meadows, and yak caravans that still follow ancient trade routes.
Immerse in the raw wilderness and spiritual tranquility of Lower Dolpo, one of Nepal’s least explored frontiers.
