Summary
A long walk up a steep, uninhabited river valley leads to
a high isolated valley that is an enclave to Phoksundo
Lake by crossing two high passes and traversing, remote
country that is the home of snow leopards.
Tarap is remote valley of pure Tibetan influence east of
Phoksundo Lake and south of Shey Gompa. You can visit
Tarap by making a loop from Dunai up the Thulo Bheri to
the Tarap chu, across two high passes to Phoksundo Lake
and back to Dunai. You can also make the trek in the
reverse direction, starting from Dunai or even from Jumla.
