Beni - Lower Dolpo Trek

Beni to Dolpo Trek in the Kali Gandaki Valley across the Dhaulagiri Range into Lower Dolpo offers a fascinating insight into the effects of mountains on the monsoon . 

The Dhaulagiri trail climbs numerous ridges linking ancient Hindu farming communities. It crosses four passes, in the front of the range and goes through the Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve. Forests include pine, birch, cypress, rhododendron, oak, walnut and bamboo.

The Panidal La pass crosses the Dhaulagiri Himal into the rain shadow region of Lower Dolpo. The vegetation becomes drier and the tree line is reached as the path rises towards the stacked houses of Tarakot. 

The Beni Lower Dolpo trekking path joins an ancient, still used, trade route to Tibet and gradually climbs to the large village of Do in the prosperous Tarap Valley. Lower and Upper Dolpo have been inhabited by peoples from Tibet for thousands of years. The early animistic Bön religion is still widely practiced with elements having been absorbed by Buddhism, and vice versa. Numerous Gompas of each can be explored in the Tarap Valley. 

At the end of the valley, the trail turns west to climb, over two days, two high passes with wonderful vistas and spectacularly scenic intervening valleys, before dropping down to the village of Ringmo and the turquoise glacial Phoksundo Lake. A lack of oxygen in the water precludes aquatic life. There is a day to explore the village, the monastery on the lake and walk along the western cliff-side trail towards Shey.Two easy days of trekking lead to the village of Juphal, Dolpo’s airport, for a flight to Nepalgunj in the steamy south-west near the Indian border – and your flight back to Kathmandu.

Sturdy boots, warm/waterproof clothing, a good sleeping bag, day pack, camera, sunscreen and hat are essential items.

We offer both camping and tea house trek to this region. Our Beni Lower Dolpo trekking package includes transport, your guide, chef, local porters, meals, sturdy tent accommodation, and safe drinking water. Spring (March - May) and autumn (September - November) are the best months to trek, but we offer this trek in all four seasons.

Tea house trek mean staying and eating in the local lodges. We stay in double room, rooms are basic but comfortable mattress, normally just a bed and pillow. Most of them have electric light and all have and all have specious dining room –lounge. Mostly in tea houses there are common bathroom. Hot shower also available on the tea- houses but the hot water depend on weather conditions and to pay to get the shower.  We eat at tea- house, though food is usually potential and delicious, menu is not extensive. They offer variety of potato rice and noodle dishes, as well as soup. You could choose food from the menu what you could choose the food from the menu what you would like to have. You would be able to eat the food as much as you like but you would not able to order more than enough and left the food.

Health:

It’s very important not to get sick while you are going on the trek and you need to be careful about what you eat and drink.  You need to stay healthy and avoid getting sick in order to have a successful trek.

Some tips for staying healthy:

Avoid drinking or brushing your teeth with tap water. Drink only sealed bottled or proper boiled water or use water purification tablets. During the trek avoid the temptation to test your fitness through fast walking at altitude.

Medical kit

Your guide will bring normal medical kits with him while on the trek. It is recommended that you also bring a small personal medical kit including pain killers, sore throat, plasters, strapping tape for blisters, etc. If you are taking regular mediation you need to bring those medicine with you and do not forget to bring extra supply if somehow one pack is lost.

The trails:

The trekking trail of Nepal vary from wide, rode-like avenues to narrow, slippery paths built out over enormous drops. In many places, a fall from the trail would be final. One most pay attention at all the time to where you are placing your fact. Be specially  careful not move while looking through the view finder of your camera.

The weather:

Nepal has the wildest altitude range of any country of the earth. Each altitude will have its’ own weather problem, from typical heat to arctic cold. In the main trekking season in the spring and fall, the weather is often stable and even the high passes may be free of snow and relatively easy to traverse at times. Those trekkers who encountered an easy at altitude nasty spread the word that boots and warm clothing are not required. This is a mistake. That sudden storm can occur at any time, dumping one or two meter of snow on the passes. At that point, any one with simple running shoes will not be able to processed and may even be stranded for a number of days. Frostbite is a constant risk if one walks in snow at high altitude.

If you trek in the winter, you most be prepared for cold and snow. If you trek in the monsoon you might be face with slippery trails and difficult rivers crossing. You are heading into the world highest mountain range. Be prepared for changes in temperature and weather.

Altitude and preventing altitude:

Being in a hurry in the mountain of Nepal can be deadly. Acclimatization is the word used to describe the adjustments your body makes as it ascends. Ascend slowly and drinking lots of water is one of the best ways not to get high altitude. You should not plan to go to high altitude if you have know heart disease, difficulty to breathing at sea level or are pregnant. For other chronic medical conditions its better to consult your doctor. Sleeping pills, alcohol, smoking should not be used at altitude as they tend to decrease breathing and lead to Acute Mountain Sickness. It comes that during 3-4 liters of fluids (Water, Soup, etc) per day to avoid dehydration helps in the acclimatization process.

Tipping and cash requirement

On the trekking route do not forget to bring Nepalese rupees for drinks bottled water drinks/alcohol that might purchage on the way. The sum of amount to carry on the trekking route depends on the day and area you are going to trek in. Tipping is now common in Nepal but there is no certain rules how much should be tips and it’s not the must to tip.

Photographing people:

During a trek you will have many opportunities to photograph local people and amazing society. You could usetons of films taking amazing natural scenery but talking the picture of people it’s a good idea to ask before taking. Some people do not like you to take the picture of them. So always ask before taking the pictures.

Considering Environment:

While trekking you have to consider on the environment not to destroy the environment. There are so many ways you could help not to polluted the environment of the area such as pick up papers, film wrappers, burn all your toilet paper and bury your farce, do not make camp fire.

Insurance:

All tour participants should obtain their own personal insurance which covers accidents, health, emergency evacuation and loss or damage to personal effects.
