Shey Phoksundo Lake Trek
The Shey Phoksundo Lake Trek is a breathtaking journey through the great Dolpo region of Nepal, giving the trekkers a glimpse of the unspoiled natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of the majestic Himalayas. The trek leads around Shey Phoksundo Lake, a stunning turquoise body of water situated at the main altitude of 3,611 meters in Shey Phoksundo National Park. The trail also passes through dense pine forests, lovely waterfalls, and old Tibetan-influenced villages like the famed Ringmo, where trekkers can also experience the unique Bonpo Buddhist culture. The journey begins through the Juphal after a short flight through the Nepalgunj and continues through all the incredible, diverse landscapes, ranging from subtropical forests to barren, high-altitude-filled plateaus. Through the way, trekkers can also witness rare wildlife such as elusive snow leopards, blue sheep, and the elusive Himalayan tahr. The highlight of the trek is reaching the Shey Phoksundo Lake, whose striking blue waters, framed through the rugged cliffs and snow-filled peaks, create an otherworldly atmosphere that leaves visitors in awe and great surprise.
