Welcome:
Upper Dolpo Trekking Nepal
The Upper Dolpo region is another remote hidden
destination in far west where Nepal's most tranquil and natural beauty is still
unexplored. The home of herbal land, unspoiled trans-Himalayan culture, Buddhist
monuments, unique human civilization at high altitude is worth a visit. Trekking
around the Dolpo region is an unforgettable journey in every visitor's life.
Observing different rain shadow landscapes with stunning mountain views, wild
flowers, Himalayan blue sheep, snow leopards, and huge birds Himalayan griffon.
It's difficult to grow crops there, which makes life difficult for the local
people, so most of them are involved in the salt trade from Tibet, this
traditional culture continue in Doplo generation to generation.
Dolpo is protected by Shey-Phoksundo National
Park. It lies to the north of the Dhaulagiri Range bordering the Tibetan
Plateau. Here one can find a well-preserved eco-system of plants and wildlife,
including the blue sheep and the elusive snow leopard. The view of Kanjiroba
peak, Phoksumdo Lake, and the Dhauligiri massif is one of the most rewarding
moments of this trek. A visit to the Phoksumdo Gompa – dedicated to the ancient Bonpo religion, local to Dolpo and Tibet, is a memorable experience. The
enchanting beauty and unique culture of this place will demonstrate why Eric
Valli, the author of the famous book Honey Hunter of Nepal, created the
movie "Caravan", nominated for the prestigious Oscar award. Dolpo is still the
homeland of the Spotted Leopard, Blue Sheep, wolves, and many other varieties of
flora and fauna, so you'll also uncover a deeper understanding of Peter
Matthieson's book Snow Leopard. A well-organized camping trek is required
and trekking in a group is recommended. This trek is most suitable for those who
are exceptionally fit and prepared to face the full challenge of the Himalayan
wilderness.
