Dolpa is located in the shy- Phoksundo National
park of mid- western Nepal, behind the
Dhaulagiri massif, towards the Tibetan plateau,
cut off by a series of very high passes and
closed by the snow most of the year. Dolpa
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 since
time immemorial.
The finally preserved ecosystem encompasses a
wild and wonderful variety of plants and
wildlife, including the blue sheep and snow
leopard and magnificent views including MT.
Dhaulagiri(8167m.). A trek through Dolpa is an
experience not easily forgotten for instance an
enchanting trek in this region by Peter
Matthiessen gave birth to his masterpiece “Snow
Leopards”, a spiritual novel and one of the best
sellers. A trek of this region is recommended
for groups. |
