The Shey Phoksundo Trek is a stunning journey through Nepal’s remote Dolpo region, leading to the mesmerizing turquoise waters of Phoksundo Lake, Nepal’s deepest and one of its most beautiful high-altitude lakes at around 3,611 meters. Starting typically from Juphal via Nepalgunj, the trek passes through traditional villages like Dunai, Chhepka, and the culturally rich Ringmo, offering spectacular views, cascading waterfalls, and insights into Tibetan Buddhist and Bon traditions. Located within Shey Phoksundo National Park, the area is rich in biodiversity, with chances to spot blue sheep, musk deer, and even snow leopards. Ideal for those seeking solitude and cultural immersion, the trek is moderately challenging and best done in spring or autumn for clear skies and stable trails.
