Dolpo Region - Nepal
|
Dolpo was another area that was
restricted to foreigners until a few years back.
Partly made famous by Peter Matthiesen,s The Snow
Leopard, Dolpo remains one of the most remote places
in Nepal and is famous for its high mountain lake,
Phoksundo, and the Buddhist monasteries around the
lake. There are many possible ways of doing the
Dolpo trek varying from the 'short' two weeks to
more than a month. Going for the shorter ones
involves flying to nearby airfields while the others
start from the road-heads of Baglung (near Pokhara),
Sallyan of Surkhet (both in the western part of
Nepal). This is certainly one of the tougher treks
of Nepal. |
