Guide to Lower Dolpa Trek, Nepal

Lower Dolpa Trek is an adventurous trek located in the remote part of western Nepal. The route features beautiful landscapes, rich biodiversity, mountain ranges, and the unique culture of the   Dolparegion. Here's how you can proceed:

Step 1: Preparation at Home

Physical Conditioning: Begin with lightweight training at least 3 months prior to the trek, which can be gradually increased as per your capacity and stamina. Running, swimming, or cycling can be really helpful.

Gear Up: Make sure you have appropriate gears which include trekking boots, trekking poles, thermal clothes, water purifier, first-aid box, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses and more.

Get Necessary Permits: To do Lower Dolpa Trek, you require a TIMS card (Trekkers' Information Management System), Lower Dolpa Permit and Shey-Phoksundo National Park Permit.

Flight Tickets & Accommodation: Book your flight to Nepal and accommodation in Kathmandu.

Step 2: Arrival in Kathmandu

Visitor Visa: On arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport, you will need to fill up the form for a visitor visa.

Acclimatizing: Spend a couple of days in Kathmandu for sightseeing, purchasing any missing gear, meeting your trek group/guide and acclimatizing to Nepali weather.

Step 3: Journey to Nepalgunj

Cross Kang-La pass: From Phoksundo Bhanjyang, you need to cross the Kang-La pass then walk downhill to reach Shey Gompa.

Trek to Namduna Gaun via Saldang La Pass: This will be another challenging part of the trek but the beautiful scenery will definitely make it worth it.

Because I'm too lazy to take real photos with my real camera in my real photo space, here's a phone pic of my cute Sugar wearing an outfit I bought at LA Dolpa, and holding the adorable polar bear we were given as a gift at the tea party. :3

Enchanted Doll Eyes and LA Dolpa

The eyes will be available for purchase Dolpa weekend. Not AT the Dolpa, but you know, at the hotel congruent with Dolpa happenings. Volks didn’t offer vendor space for dealers in the US, so it’s more of an informal thing where I’ll be there with a ton of stock.

Peter has said that we may sell the ED eyes we were selling on their behalf at the Resin Rose BJD Expo at the LA Dolpa sales/swaps as well. They are new, they are gorgeous. There are whole bunch of eyes in a lot of sizes. I can post more details soon if folks are after specifics.  I’m not staying in the convention hotel, but I can be around for folks to shop in the evenings. We should organize an informal swap/sales event.

I gotta say the photos I'm seeing of LA Dolpa look really sad to me. I've been to one Dolpa in Japan and it was amazing but these pics look like some low budget community center convention, not something officially by Volks. Could they really not get a nicer venue? And it's so tiny! I guess if it's the best you can get it's fine but I feel kinda bad for anyone who travelled far to go to it.

Welp, I was going to cancel my hotel room for Dolpa and just go on the Saturday, but they want 72 hours notice. Well, shit. :/ Guess I’ll just suck it up and go, but after yesterday’s revelations, I really didn’t need to be spending the money. Sigh. Well, so it goes. xD;

Finally, here's my Super Sonico. I'll be bringing her with me to the LA Dolpa today~ I'm very excited!! I hope I can meet with those of you who went two years ago again! I'm sorry for sleeping on the meetups though, I'm not so confident with those 😣 If you see me though, I'll be happy to chat with you~ As for Nico, I'm still not 100% on how she looks; I will want to redo her wig and better headphones, but she's pretty well put together right now. I hope to score some goodies with her at the sumika shop today~ See you there! 💫 #ladolpa2017 #dollfiedream #bjd #dollstagram #volksdoll #supersonico

That “red carpet” sure had brights lights! ✨ I wore this on the second day of the @volks_superdollfie LA Dolpa, which was so much fun! 🎀 My very lazy concept here was doll as the “Sugar Plum Fairy” and myself as the “Kingdom of Sweets”, mostly an excuse to wear this dress! 🍬 #lolitafashion #lolitastyle #sweetlolita #angelicpretty #metamorphosetempsdefille #volksdoll #japanesefashion #jfashion #outfitoftheday #ootd #ロリータファッション #コーディネート #アンジェリックプリティ https://ift.tt/2Jk6F5Q

LA Dolpa

I very nearly skipped this event! Mostly because I’ve been really low on money lately (that hasn’t changed, whoops) but with the help of some timely sales, hotel rewards points, and early birthday money, I’ll be flying out tomorrow and staying until Sunday!

I’m going to the Tea Party, and will be accompanied by this cutie:

Say hi if you see me there! I’m looking forward to hanging out and meeting new people, as well as seeing familiar faces too! :D
