Highlights
Remote western region of Nepal
Beautiful rain shadow landscape of the Himalayas
The yak caravans that maintain the traditional salt trade with Tibet
Two high passes- Numa La and Baga La
The tranquil waters of Phoksundo Lake
Dolpo. The name resonates with the slap of a prayer flag,
the snort of a yak, the echo distance. Dolpo, a wild and mysterious land of
seemingly barren, uncolored hills and the romance of high places. The highest
inhabited land on earth, Dolpo is where the elusive snow leopard moves as
soundless as a shadow, where small herds of bharal drift on forgotten
hillsides. Remote and romantic, it has no major 8000m summit to entice with
vertical adventures, but those who are drawn by its mystery are changed
forever, for after a single visit this ancient back-of-beyond has a way of
haunting one's dreams with a demand to return.
