The Yak Caravan Trek in Dolpo is a remarkable 24-day journey that takes you deep into the remote and rugged landscapes of Dolpo, Nepal. This unique trek allows you to witness the traditional way of life of the local people as you traverse ancient trading routes alongside a caravan of yaks, which have been the lifeline of transportation in this region for centuries.

The adventure begins with a scenic flight to Juphal, followed by a trek through picturesque valleys, dense forests, and charming villages. The trekking route follows the footsteps of ancient traders who used to travel through these challenging terrains with their yaks, carrying goods between Tibet and Nepal.
