The Dolpo Phoksundo Lake Trek with Peaceful Treks is a remote and culturally rich Himalayan adventure in western Nepal, leading trekkers to Phoksundo Lake, one of Nepal’s most beautiful and sacred turquoise lakes. Nestled in the Shey Phoksundo National Park, the trek offers stunning views of Dolpo’s snow-capped peaks, high-altitude valleys, and pristine landscapes.
The trail passes through ancient Tibetan Buddhist villages, monasteries, mani walls, and prayer flags, offering an authentic experience of Tibetan culture and Bon traditions. Trekkers traverse rugged mountain terrain, deep river gorges, high alpine meadows, and dense forests while experiencing the solitude of one of Nepal’s least-visited regions.

The best trekking seasons are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November), when skies are clear, the weather is favorable, and the landscapes are vibrant.
