Highlights |
|
Opened to trekking in 1989, the Dolpo
region is hard to match for its pristine
beauty and rugged charm. Lying in the
rain shadow area of the Himilaya, the
landscape resembles that of the Tibetan
Plateau instead of the lush green,
monsoon watered hills, elsewhere in
Nepal, at comparative altitudes.
Pholksumdo Lake, Lower Dolpo Region
Possibly the last sanctuary of Bon Po, a
Shamanistic religion that pre-dates
Buddhism, the home of rare Himalayan
animals like the shy Snow Leopard,
Tibetan Hare and the Himalayan Weasel it
falls within the Shey-Phoksumdo National
Park in western Nepal. Lake Phoksumdo,
the Blue Lake, and the ancient
monasteries in the villages around it are
the focal point of a trip to this
region. The Kanjiroba Himal provides a
panoramic backdrop to complete the
experience
Grade : Moderate
You will be walking five to eight
hours per day at altitudes not exceeding
4,500 meters with steep ascents and
descents. Preparation will be much the
same as for the introductory trek but
should include more steep ascents and
descents if possible. Using the stairs
instead of the lift is a good way to
prepare for these treks as is cycling
and swimming.
