Highlights of the Trek |
|
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,
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 aroud it are
the focal point of a trip to this
region. The Kanjiroba Himal provides a
panoramic backdrop to complete the
experience. Only fully equipped groups
organised through an agency are
permitted to do this trek.
Grade :
Moderate /Challenging
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.
