Upper Dolpo Trekking

 

This trek takes place in the north-west region of Nepal , Being one of the remotest and least exposed areas of Nepal and also naturally isolated by the difficult topography, it still offer opportunity to meet the people and their lifestyle in a very authentic form ,almost untouched and unexplored. As Dolpo is linked so closely with the frontier of Tibet, it is inhabited by the people of Tibetan origin with he Tibetan culture where you will still come across the people and some monasteries adopting original Tibetan religion, Bon much older then the Buddhism. The trek also gives chances to visit several unique monasteries (gompas) including Shey Gompa (the crystal monastery ) which still offers as an important pilgrimage for the many Tibetans.

This is a long and strenuous trek which should be undertaken by those who are physically fit backed by previous trekking experiences. This area is one of the restricted areas of Nepal for foreign tourists, special permit is required to travel Upper Dolpo.
