Hello,
my husband and I have planned to go trekking to Lower Dolpa (Do tarap). Flights from Neplagunj to Julpha (dolpa) are very expensive. During these recent years, many new roads have been built all around the country. Does any one has recent information regarding how far we can go by road and local transport and then how many days walk are needed to reach Dunai?
Thanks a lot

Yes I returned from Dunai by local transport in October.
You have to go to Musikot: direct busses from Ktm or local busses from Dang (Tulsipur). It is a good paved road till there. The Asian Hotel is quite good.
After that you must take 3 different public jeeps till the road end. The road for the first jeep leg is very bad and slow. But it is possible to complete all three legs in a single day, starting early morning.
At the final jeep stop, you still had about 10 hours on foot to Dunai. Now they are extending this road further, so it will become less. In 1 or 2 (or more) years, the road will reach Dunai.
All of this is very cheap. No tourist prices in remote areas.
