DOLPO TREK |
Dolpo, rugged and
remote section and one of the most
beautiful treks in the far western
corner of Nepal. Dolpo is a restricted
area and needs a special permit and only
groups with organised trek from a
registered agent are allowed. The region
is well described by Peter Mathiessen in
1970 as account of journey in his
classic novel Snow Leopard. The trek
offers interesting people, places,
villages, valleys and serene forest of
pines, oaks and Rhododendrons with
numerous high passes over 3500m. demands
a lot of stamina.
This is one of the great adventurous
trek to the mysterious land where the
pre-Buddhist Bon-Po religion is still in
practice. The recent Oscar nominated
movie CARAVAN (HIMALAYA as known in the
western countries) was also shot here. |
