Dolpo Region, Nepal
Dolpo is located inside the Shey–Phoksumdo National Park of mid–western Nepal, behind the Dhaulagiri massif, adjoining the Tibetan Plateau. Dolpo remains a truly isolated corner of Nepal: time has stood still here for centuries as the inhabitants of Tibetan stock continue to live, cultivate and trade the way they have done since time immemorial. The ecosystem encompasses a wild and wonderful variety of plants and wildlife, including the blue sheep and snow leopard. A trek through Dolpo is an experience not easily forgotten. We trek through birch and silver fir forest to Chaurikot. Scenic views of Patrasi and Jagadu Himal are visible to the north.
Highlights: If you enjoyed the movie Caravan / Himalaya, then this is the trek to see such natural splendor. Phoksumdo lake's crystal clear blue waters reflecting the spectacular landscape, unique Tibetan Buddhist and Bon settlements with their fascinating monasteries, as well as spectacular snow peaks there is a chance of seeing Himalayan pheasants and blue sheep.
