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.
