Nepal: Trekking » Camping Trekking » The Lower Doplo
The Lower Dolpo Region
Trekking in the Dolpo region has only been permitted since mid-1989.
The region lies to the west of the Kali Gandaki Valley, Dolpo is located
inside the Shey-Phoksundo National Park in mid-western Nepal, behind
the Dhaulagiri massif, towards the Tibetan plateau. The region offers
opportunities to visit ancient villages, high passes, beautiful Lakes,
isolated Buddhist monasteries and also to experience the vast array
of wildlife inhabiting the region, including Blue sheep, Mountain Goat,
Jackal, Wolf and the legendary Snow Leopard.
This remains a truly isolated corner of Nepal, time has stood still
here for centuries as inhabitants of Tibetan stock continue to live,
cultivate and trade the way they have done for hundreds of years. Most
treks into Dolpo take from 14 to 30 days. The best time to trek here
is towards the end of the monsoon season Sept to November. Shorter Dolpo
treks are possible by flying into the air strip at Jumla.
