Upper Dolpo - trek (photo)report

We followed the route described in, e.g., Lonely Planet guide, but our daily stages were sometimes different than those described there. I flew to Juphal where I met my crew. From there we walked to Dunai (district headquarters), then to Phoksumdo Lake, crossed Kang La (Nangdala - 5360m) - the gateway to Upper Dolpo, descended to Shey Gompa, trekked to Saldang, Musigaon, Shimen, Tinje, Chharka, Sangda, to finally arrive to Jomsom.
