About the package
Dunai to Jumla trek is a lower Dolpa that offers an outstanding trekking experience in the remote western region of Nepal, the upper area of the Tarap Khola and Shey Phokundo lake. The route passes through the desolate plateau, the dry land of the valley, and snow-capped peaks. This trek destination is a simple but the finest trekking to explore the rare culture and tradition of local people influenced by Tibetan culture and living style. Trek from Dunai to Jumla is an outstanding route wrapping the beautiful wonders of nature which includes two inspiring and challenging Passes such as Bagala Pass(5100 meters) and Numala Pass(5115 meters). During the trail passing through Numala and Bangala Pass, we can explore panoramic Himalayan ranges such as the Annapurna ranges, Kyanguripa, Nilgiri Himal, Dhaulagiri ranges, and other stunning Himalayan ranges. There are different endangered animals like snow leopard, musk deer, Goral, Himalayan Thar, bear, blue sheep, flora and fauna, residing in the Shey Phoksundo National Park and gorgeous views of Nilgiri, Kyanguripa, Annapurna Range, Dhaulagiri Range, and other mountains of Nepal. The months like September to November and March to May are considered the best season to conquer this trekking route. Dunai to Jumla Trek begins from Juphal. We will journey through a diverse landscape that includes barren alpine terrain, lush greenery, and subalpine forests. Along the way, we’ll explore the hidden beauty of the Tarap Valley and cross the high passes of Num La and Baga La, which rise between Tarap Valley and Phoksundo Valley before reaching the stunning Phoksundo Lake. This trekking route offers a deeply rewarding experience across the trans-Himalayan region. As we continue, we’ll pass through rich alpine vegetation, cross several rivers, and visit remote monasteries and traditional villages within Shey Phoksundo National Park. This area's buffer zones impart a lifetime of memorable experiences and adventures while trekking to Jumla from Dunai.

October-November offers stable weather after the monsoon season, while March-April treats visitors to blooming rhododendrons in the hills. However, be aware that these are also the busiest periods, so we recommend booking your trek and accommodations well in advance.
