The first day of the journey takes a bit extra time to set up all the luggage. As we pass a bridge over the Bheri River takes a left path that leads us to Shulighat, the entry factor of Shey Phoksundo National Park. The path goes alongside the Phoksundo Khola, passing via the quite a few small settlements to Chhepka.

The way goes regularly climbs up alongside the valley thru the forest. The path follows quite a few small ups and downs paths; want to be go the river over small bridges that lead you to Raichi for lunch. At one factor between Raichi and Chunuwar, there is a dramatic factor the place two rivers of incredibly special colours merge to structure a single Phoksundo River. Then we proceed to stroll to Chunuwar.

The trek goes steeply uphill for the first three hours. There is minimal vegetation, and hills are very dusty in the dry season. As we arrive at the view tower, we can see the easiest waterfall in Nepal with a peak of 107 meters, mind-boggling sceneries surrounding hills. Ten minutes uphill from the view tower, we can get the first glimpse of Phoksundo Lake. Then, the path goes steadily descending via the pine woodland to the small village of Ringmo.

Today, we will admire the beauty of Phoksundo Lake and possibly hike a small village of Ringo and its Tibetan monasteries. The people of this area are following the Bon Buddhist known as pre-Buddhist too.

Ringo village is the boundary between Lower and Upper Dolpo. We will enter a restricted area of Upper Dolpo and follow the trail Oscar-nominated movie HIMALAYA, directed by Eric Valli. The trail is a salt trade route between the people of Dolpo and Tibet. The twisted trail is more adventures along the lake. As we reach a height of 4085 meters, after which it gradually descends through the dense forest and climbs up towards an open valley with a spectacular view of Kanjirowa Himal with an elevation of 6612 meters. Then, we reach a beautiful camping place.

The Trekking path is unique. We enter via excessive rock partitions on each aspects and pass a couple of streams besides bridges. The river flows inner the gorge; the stroll is uphill however no longer steep. There is large open area on the river shore, with stony floor and thorny juniper bushes.

The trail goes inclined steeply for the first two and a half hours over Sandy Mountain to Kang-La with an elevation of 5350 meters. The feet slid at every step, and altitude sickness may take hold at this point. After walking down the hill from the pass for about 4 hours, we get to Shey Gompa.

You can discover round Tsakang Gompa. It is no longer a monastery however a retreat. Tsakang had been a meditation middle of many great lamas from Tibet. Shey Gompa belongs to the Chaiba community, followers of the Padmasambhava, and Kagyu sects. It was once the first Kagyupa monastery, and its founder used to be the lama Ten-szin-Ra-Pa. The monastery used to be constructed at some point of the eleventh century. Shey is well-known for its historic Buddhist culture. In Dolpo, the historic Tibetan way of lifestyles combines animism with the teachings of Buddha. Drutup Yeshe brought Buddhism in the Dolpo valley. Many years ago, he got here to Dolpo and got here throughout a wild humans whose supreme God used to be a ‘fierce mountain spirit.’ Crystal Mountain is to the west of the Shey monastery. It is an high-quality mountain, indeed. Its contorted cliffs are laced with quartz and embedded with a large range of marine fossils. Shey Gompa stands above the confluence of Kwangju Nala and Yeju Nala. Near the confluence, there is a crew of prayer mills grew to become by means of water wheels.

We have to pass a skip with a top of 5,000 meters named Shey-La. Then the route starts of evolved to zigzag over naked rocks and coarse eroded soil. The path due to this fact descends to the pastures. It skill our method to Namgung.
