Is there any alternatives for flights to Dolpo?
If you have enough time and are willing to walk, then trekking from Beni to Dolpo via Dhorpatan is a great choice.
If you are limited in time and want to do it more comfortably, the flight is the best option.
If you are adventurous enough and want to do it by road, there’s still a possibility. You can take the bus from (Kathmandu-Nepalgunj-Jajarkot) and then to Talubagar by a small vehicle. From there, you will need to walk for around 3 days to reach Dunai.
The new routes are opened and constructed in Nepal every year. So, the above information could not be precise.
You can take the bus until Jumla and then start trekking to enter Dolpo.
