Dolpo Trekking:
 Dolpo trekking is opened to trekking in 1989,
the Dolpo region is hard to match for it’s
pristine beauty and rugged charm, where one can
still have opportunity to meet the nomadic
people and their life style almost untouched and
unexplored. The Himalayas offer an endless
variety of landscapes, cultures and great
people. This unbounded diversity makes it a
destination you can visit over and over again.
It even becomes more interesting and fascinating
with every time you return.
Lying in the rain shadow area of the Himalayas,
the landscape resembles that of the Tibetan
Plateau instead of the lush, green, monsoon
watered hills, elsewhere in Nepal, at
comparative altitudes. The people, very pleasant
by nature, are of Tibetan descent who follow the
pre-Buddhist Bon religion. Their language is
closely related to Tibetan. The elevation of the
trails is from 1650 meters (5,412ft) to 5136
meters (16,846ft) above sea level. |
