The Shey Phoksundo Lake Trek is a captivating journey into the pristine wilderness of Nepal’s Dolpo region, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. Situated at an altitude of 3,611 meters, Shey Phoksundo Lake is Nepal’s deepest and a sacred site for both Bon and Buddhist communities. Its vivid turquoise waters, surrounded by rugged mountains and dense pine forests, create an awe-inspiring landscape.
The trek takes you through Shey Phoksundo National Park, home to diverse flora and fauna, including snow leopards, blue sheep, and Himalayan monals. Along the way, you’ll pass picturesque villages like Ringmo, where you can immerse yourself in the unique Bon and Tibetan Buddhist traditions.
The trail also features stunning highlights such as the 167-meter-high Phoksundo Waterfall and breathtaking views of the remote Dolpo region. Suitable for trekkers with basic fitness, this moderate trek typically lasts 8-12 days and starts from Juphal, accessible by a flight from Nepalgunj.
Best visited in spring or autumn, the Shey Phoksundo Lake Trek offers an unparalleled escape into tranquility, combining adventure with the charm of Nepal’s untouched landscapes and cultures.
Before trekking to Shey Phoksundo Lake, it’s essential to prepare physically and logistically. Build your fitness with cardio and leg-strengthening exercises to handle the moderate trek. Ensure you have the necessary permits, including the Shey Phoksundo National Park permit and TIMS card. Pack layered clothing, sturdy trekking boots, a sleeping bag, and a first-aid kit. Bring essential gear like a headlamp, water bottle, and trekking poles. Plan your trek for the best seasons—spring or autumn—and be prepared for sudden weather changes. Stay hydrated, eat well, and be aware of altitude sickness symptoms. Carry travel insurance for emergencies and be ready for basic accommodations in remote areas.
