This trek crosses three relatively
high passes, good paths are followed throughout and there is
no trekking on glaciers. At the edge of the Tibetan Plateau
in the Himalayan rain shadow lies Dolpo the legendary hidden
land closed for years to trekkers. The lack of other
tourists, the warm welcome given by the hardy Dolpo-Pa & the
fascinating insight into the Tibetan way of life makes this
an extremely varied & special trek. |

A unique trek in Nepal, it is ideally suited to both beginners
and those who have "been everywhere". You haven't until you've
been to Dolpo. Trekking in the Dolpo region has only been
permitted since mid-1989. The region lies to the west of the
Kali Gandaki Valley, Dolpo is located inside the Shey-Phoksundo
National Park in mid-western Nepal, behind the Dhaulagiri
massif, towards the Tibetan plateau. The region offers
opportunities to visit ancient villages, high passes, beautiful
Lakes, isolated Buddhist monasteries and also to experience the
vast array of wildlife inhabiting the region, including Blue
sheep, Mountain Goat, Jackal, Wolf and the legendary Snow
Leopard.
This remains a truly isolated corner of Nepal, time has stood
still here for centuries as inhabitants of Tibetan stock
continue to live, cultivate and trade the way they have done for
hundreds of years. Most treks into Dolpo take from 14 to 30
days. The best time to trek here is towards the end of the
monsoon season Sept to November. Shorter Dolpo treks are
possible by flying into the air strip at Jumla.
