    Long, Amazing Trekking Experience in Dolpo It was an amazing 27 days long tour trekking at Upper Dolpo with Uma holidays Travels and Tourd Team. Dolpo trek was amazing and vastly remote but beautiful nature around. Our guide Lakpa Sherpa provided plenty of valuable knowledge of Dolpo history, peoples culture, religion and lifestyle. And also, we were lucky to have been able to observe the lives of the people who live in this remote and harsh condition. A landscape of Dolpo is amazing and It felt like, I am the only me in this area. So quiet and While the trekking was at times tough, with three passes over 5,000m, we were very well cared for by our team. We do not have enough words to express our satisfaction and gratitude for the top level of service during the whole trek duration. The food was amazing, and our guide, Lakpa Sherpa was both knowledgeable and cheerful. I recommended, our guide Lakpa Sherpa for next trip in Nepal and also thanks to Uma Holidays Travels and Tours, who perfectly organized our trip.
