Dolpo Region

Hidden behind the Dhaulagiri massif in western Nepal, the Dolpo region is a land of high-altitude deserts, turquoise lakes, ancient monasteries and deeply preserved Tibetan culture. Made famous by Peter Matthiessen’s book The Snow Leopard, Dolpo remains one of the most isolated and culturally fascinating trekking destinations in the Himalayas. Its dramatic landscapes, including the spectacular Shey Phoksundo Lake and remote trans-Himalayan valleys, offer a trekking experience unlike anywhere else in Nepal.
