Dolpo & Kagmara La

Nestled between the Tibetan Plateau and the Dhaulagiri Himal range, is one of the highest inhabited locale, the land of Dolpo. Coined the Bon Kingdom due to it's strong ties to the pre-Buddhist religion of Bonpo, an animist belief. The route meanders through pine & cedar forests and the high valleys before reaching the mountain passes that rise towards the snow peaks of the Kanjiroba Himal, the Kagmara Lekh and the vast Tibetan plateau providing spectacular views of the five peaks of Dhaualgiri. One great opportunity that come in a life time to explore this interesting village and lake shores of Phokshindo (Ringmo) and the legendary Gompa of pre Buddhism Bonpo sect situated on the edge of the lake. On return journey, we make the descent towards Dunai for our last night camp.
