The Lower Dolpo Trekking is not an easy trek but it is so worth it. Himalaya Hub prepared us well with all the right information about altitude and packing. Our guide was experienced and calm and made the hard days feel manageable. Baga La Pass at 5,214m was tough but the views of Dhaulagiri at 8,167m from the top were insane. This is a restricted area trek in Nepal so you need a good agency and Himalaya Hub is definitely that. Tibetan Buddhist culture everywhere you look. One of the best trekking agencies in Nepal for remote treks.
I completed the 11-day Annapurna circuit with Binod and Suraj. It was amazing! The mountains and the hike were beautiful. Binod and Suraj were very friendly and helpful, they did everything to make us feel comfortable and happy. They enabled us to enjoy the circuit in the optimal way.

Saw Blue Sheep and Almost Felt Like Crying
I saw blue sheep on the trail near Shey Phoksundo National Park and almost felt like crying from happiness. The Lower Dolpo Trek is wild and remote and so different from the popular routes. Our guide was brilliant he spotted wildlife before we did and knew every shortcut. Himalaya Hub organized everything including the tricky flights and all the camping gear. This is a reliable tour operator in Nepal and you really need that in such a remote area. Dho Tarap village was the highlight for me. Great service from start to finish.
The Lower Dolpo Trek Nepal was the hardest and most rewarding trek of my life. Crossing three high passes including Kangmara La at 5,115m tested me but our guide never let me give up. He was so encouraging and always checked on my energy and breathing. Himalaya Hub is the best trekking company in Kathmandu and their support team was excellent. Tarap Valley felt so isolated and peaceful. The ancient monasteries and prayer wheels everywhere made it feel spiritual. This is a rain shadow trek so the landscape is raw and dramatic. Highly recommended trekking company.
Shey Phoksundo Lake alone was worth the entire trek. The turquoise water surrounded by cliffs and snow peaks is unreal. The Lower Dolpo Trekking route took us through Tibetan villages where people still live the old way. Our guide was patient and kind and explained so much about the Bon Po culture. Himalaya Hub is a trusted trekking agency in Nepal and their planning for this restricted area was flawless. Ringmo village near the lake was so quiet and beautiful. This is an off the beaten path trek and I loved every single day of it.
Not an Easy Trek But So Worth It
