Dolpo, celebrated as a sample of original Tibet, created by a Buddhist deity for his worshippers is also known as hidden valley. Dolpo is located inside the Shey Phoksundo National Park of mid-western Nepal, behind the North side of the Dhaulagiri massif towards the Tibetan highland. Dolpo has scattered fascinating villages and is still the land of mystery, serenity and peace. This route provides the pleasure of nature to trekkers who are more adventurous. The Dolpo is famous for the deepest lake, Phoksundo, in the entire Himalayan Region. The view of Kanjiroba peak, Phoksumdo Lake, and the Dhaulagiri massif is one of the most rewarding moments of this trek. The Dolpo region has only been opened to foreigners since 1989. Recently opened for trekking, this route is especially nice for those who love to explore remote areas reminiscent of an ancestral way of life.
Dolpo remains a truly isolated corner of Nepal; time has stood still here for centuries as the inhabitants of Tibetan stock continue to live, cultivate and trade the way they have done since time immemorial. The ecosystem encompasses a wild and wonderful variety of plants and wildlife, including the blue sheep and snow leopard. Dolpo Region Trekking is most suitable for those who are exceptionally fit and prepared to face the full challenge of the Himalayan wilderness.
