Dolpo Region
Discover the Dolpo region, an isolated and mysterious trekking destination within one of Nepal's most remote and little-known areas, lying in the rain shadow of the Dhaulagiri range. Famed for its untamed frontier wilderness, high country, and timeless Tibetan culture, Dolpo offers an unforgettable excursion into one of the least visited areas of the Himalayas.
Dolpo's trekking visitors are greeted by landscapes of drama, arid valleys, rocky cliffs, azure Phoksundo Lake, and towering snow-white peaks. The region is equally culturally rich, with centuries-old monasteries, traditional villages, and the Bon faith, dating back to pre-Buddhism. Wind-whipped prayer flags, chortens, and mani walls reflect the deep spiritual nature of the place.
Compared to the more touristy treks of Nepal, Dolpo provides an unparalleled sense of isolation and tranquility. Treks such as the Upper Dolpo Trek, Lower Dolpo Trek, and Shey Phoksundo Lake Trek introduce one to both natural splendor and an age-old way of life that remains unscathed. For those seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure filled with raw beauty and cultural depth, Dolpo is a Himalayan secret gem.
