After landing, we commence the trek by descending gently through narrow village trails, wheat fields, and apple orchards. The path meets the Bheri River, where we follow a wide and comfortable trail toward Dunai, the headquarters of Dolpa. The walk is short (2–3 hours), perfect for adjusting to the region. In Dunai, we can explore the bazaar, visit monasteries, or enjoy the quiet riverside.

After breakfast, you walk along the riverbank and gradually reach Suligad, the entrance gate of Shey Phoksundo National Park. Here, you register your permits before crossing a suspension bridge. The trail now becomes more beautiful, passing through mixed forests of pine, walnut, and bamboo. Small villages like Kageni and Jyalhasa appear along the way, offering resting spots. The path undulates with small ups and downs, always following the bright-blue river. After 5–6 hours of peaceful walking, you reach Chhepka, a small settlement with a few teahouses surrounded by greenery.

After breakfast, begin the trek following Suligad river. After leaving Chhekpa, the path climbs gradually through thick pine, maple and rhododendron forests, crossing a series of small wooden bridges. We will pass several small settlements like Renji and Sumduwa, where the trail begins to open up with deeper gorge views. Continuing ahead, the trail undulates through serene forests until we will reach to Chhunuwar, known for its hot springs and peaceful riverside setting.

After leaving Chhunuwar, you follow a gentle trail through pine forests along the rushing blue river. The path slowly climbs uphill, but it is not very steep. As we walk, the valley becomes wider and the sound of the river gets louder and clearer. After about an hour, we will reach the junction for the Phoksundo Waterfall Viewpoint, where you can take a small break and enjoy the spectacular 167-meter-high Phoksundo Waterfall. From here, the trail continues on a slightly narrow cliff-side path, but it is safe and offers incredible views of the deep gorge below. Soon, the turquoise color of Phoksundo Lake appears in the distance. The trail then becomes easier as you enter the flat, peaceful area of Ringmo Village, a traditional Bon community right next to the lake.

After check into the lodge, we will explore the lake.

This day is dedicated to fully experiencing Phoksundo Lake, a jewel of Nepal. The lake sits right beside Ringmo, so a short walk brings you to its stunning turquoise shores. You can walk along the lakeside trail, visit high viewpoints, or simply sit quietly by the water. Many trekkers enjoy watching the reflections of the mountains on the crystal-clear lake surface.

In the afternoon, explore Tshowa Monastery, an 800-year-old Bon monastery perched above the lake. The spiritual atmosphere, traditional artifacts, and chanting rooms offer a rare glimpse into Dolpo’s ancient beliefs. Photography lovers will find endless opportunities around the lakeshore.

You begin your return journey along the same trail, descending through forests and past waterfalls. The downhill walk is easier and faster, allowing you to appreciate the landscapes in a more relaxed way. The soothing sound of the river accompanies you most of the day. After 5–6 hours of trekking, you arrive back in Chhepka, where you can enjoy a warm meal and a peaceful night.

Continue walking along the familiar riverside path through the forests and small villages. You exit the National Park at Suligad and continue to walk to Juphal following the same route.  The last hour involves a gentle uphill climb to reach the lodge near to the airstrip. 

and follow the wide, comfortable trail back to Dunai. This day gives you another chance to enjoy the local lifestyle, interact with villagers, and revisit the riverbanks. Overnight in Dunai.
