Dolpo trek- travel in Himalaya

Dolpo trek

Dolpo lies far off to the north west of Nepal. It is a beautiful place largely untouched by modernization, a result of being one of the most remote and inaccessible areas of Nepal. Dolpo is not a very popular circuit due to its remoteness, and tea house trekking is not possible here. Trekkers also need special permits to explore the area, since the government does not want to risk rapid modernization to throw off balance the delicate lifestyle of the inhabitants.

However, the very nature of this rugged beauty attracts a different breed of adventurers. Dolpo provides a totally unique experience when compared to the heavily commercialized trips to the Annapurna and Everest regions. Highlights of this trek are the beautiful and unspoilt Phoksundo lake, sharp blue in the brown landscape. Upper Dolpo is home to the Shey Phoksundo National Park, a sanctuary for musk deer and snow leopards.
