Dolpo to Mustang Trek is an extraordinary navigation across the isolated and rarely frequented regions of western highlands of Nepal. Throughout the trek, the opportunity to sight fellow trekkers is during the seldom occasions. The trek that begins after the short and scenic flight to the airstrips of Juphal initially caters the landscapes dominated by the lush vegetation. The culture in Lower Dolpo is more rural but however manifests a bit of modern influence. As the trek goes higher towards Phoksundo Lake, the trek begins to cater the culture, which has no modern influence at all. The prime highlight of the trek, Phoksundo Lake falls in the early part of the trek. The Bon culture prospering at Ringmo, the village atop a spur above Phoksundo Lake is the beginning of cultural showcase Dolpo has to offer. 

Dolpo to Mustang Trek, beyond Phoksundo Lake crosses over elevated Kang La Pass and then enters the village housing revered monastery, Shey. At Shey, an opportunity to bask the magnificence of nature blended so well with ancient Buddhist culture is another important highlight of the trek. Folks, the trek continues to go over the high passes. Crossing Saldang Pass 5010m, it enters another highland hamlet Saldang, which is the biggest village in upper Dolpo. Via nomadic villages like Yangzer, Nmagong and Tinje among others, we encounter yet another 5000m plus pass Mala Pass and enter the territory that lies at the border of Dolpo and Mustang.

The walk in the wilderness continues and the windswept elevated deserts seem to end never and via Chharka Bhot, we enter the Forbidden Kingdom of Mustang via yet another 5000m plus pass, Ghami La. Mustang is a fabled town of Lopas and the land having mysterious highland caves. It is also the fascinating highlight of the trek before it ends at the Windy City Jomsom.
