Remote Wilderness Adventures
Dolpo Region Trekking in Nepal
The Dolpo region is one of Nepal's most remote and preserved areas, offering trekkers a rare glimpse into solitude and authentic cultural experiences that are far from the more popular routes.
Located in northwest Nepal, Dolpo is a restricted area requiring special permits and is home to the Dolpo people who practice Tibetan Buddhism and maintain traditional practices. The region features diverse landscapes from arid desert to lush valleys, deep gorges to high Himalayan passes.
Highlights include Shey Phoksundo National Park with its famous high alpine turquoise lake, the ancient kingdom of Dolpo with its medieval monasteries, and the legendary Crystal Mountain (Kang Kang). Eric Henson's novel Snow Leopard brought international attention to this mystical region.
