At an elevation of 4250 meters above sea level, the Dona Lake Trek is located. Without such a doubt, it offers some of the best views in the world. The Dona Lake route journey offers a wide range of cultural experiences, as well as some of the most beautiful valleys and high mountains in the Annapurna range. Hiking to Dona Lake mainly focuses in Nepal’s lower Annapurna region. You may see the settlements of many communities such as Brahmins, Chhetri, Thakali, Magar, Tamang, and Tibetans on Dona lake hikes.
The first most popular outdoor trip in Nepal is to Dona Lake. Mt. Manaslu, Annapurna II, and Lamjung Himal can all be seen from this hike, which is rich in culture, vegetation, and animals. Furthermore, the walk to Dona Lake costs an average of 700 USD per person. The cost of the journey is determined by the size or volume of the packages. Hiking or trekking to this destination in April is spectacular due to the blooming of Rhododendrons, but the weather is unpredictable due to the high mountain landscapes.
Hiking to Dona Lake in the winter is not recommended due to the icy trail, and the lake is frozen, but the scenery is spectacular; similarly, hiking to Dona Lake in the monsoon is not recommended due to clouds, which masks the view of the surrounding mountain ranges and landscapes. From mid-June through mid-September, the monsoon season begins. The trek to Dona lake starts from Kathmandu to Besisahar by bus, and from Besisahar we take a local jeep to Jagat. Our trekking will be beginning from the next morning.
By crossing the suspension bridge in Karte we will heading to Nachei village and spend our first night at Nachei village in a local and simple homestay. Normally the trek takes 3 to 4 days. But it depends upon the speed of walking, and the physical condition of the travellers. At least we can plan for a week trip to Dona lake from starting to end.
