Dolpa, that lies in the lap of Himalayas has several interesting mountain peaks. Mt. Mukut is one of them. This peak lies to the East of the district headquarter Dunai. Some other people have done the summit from the eastern side but it is more interesting to summit from the Western side.

A short trek reaches you to the base camp of the mountain through some interesting villages like Kakkot and Mukot.

The way up to Mukot is also full of cultural and natural excitements. The general treks do not go through this trail so it offers you extra delightful experiences. The short trek up to the base camp becomes interesting with the views of mountain ranges. Therefore, the expedition becomes interesting.

 

(Note: After the summit one can also make the trek to the popular trekking zone JOMSOM from Mukot.)

  • I went with a friend on a trek/expedition to Mukot Himal between October 20 and November 10th . Our team included a climbing guide, a cook, three assistants and a mule guide (five mules). Our itinerary was off the main track and we were fully autonomous for the whole trek .
    This was a fantastic experience, all the staff was so helpful and everything was well planned (including pick at airport…). Explore dolpo arranged t he flights and the jeep (way back) very well, and adapted the program with a one day delay for the second flight. We were also able to discuss in detail with Bhupendra before the trip to optimize our organization, that worked out very well. The guide was excellent, very good climbing expertise which was essential from this peak (his english level was moderate but enough for important stuff), he went on a recognition climb on the glacier the day before the summit, that was very important and secured the success. All other members were so nice, providing great food, always making sure we had enough boiling water to drink, warm water to wash in the morning and setting up the tents quickly as soon as we arrived on a camp site. It was a great pleasure for me to share this experience with them. We went through fantastic valleys completely devoid of any tourism. I highly recommend explore dolpo .
