Phuksundo lake trekking located in the isolated corner of Trans Himalayan, dolpo region, is a virgin and divine land in Mid-Western of Nepal. Shey-Phoksundo National Park in the core of Dolpo Region is famous for snow leopard. A great Naturalist Rodney Jackson conducted his research on snow leopards in Shey Phoksundo area. The Dolpo is famous for deepest Lake Phoksundo in entire Himalayan Region.
