Dolpo is located inside the Shey- Phoksumdo National Park of mid- western Nepal, behind the Dhaulagiri massif, towards the Tibetan Plateau. Dolpo remains a truly isolated corner of Nepal: time has stood still here for centuries as the inhabitants of Tibetan stock continue to live, cultivate and trade the way they have done since time immemorial.The ecosystem encompasses a wild and wonderful variety of plants and wildlife, including the blue sheep and snow leopard. A trek through Dolpo is an experience not easily forgotten. Mainly the trekking is done in two areas;-

• Lower Dolpa..this is one of the last areas where traditional Tibetan culture survives. Phoksundo Lake is beautiful. Crossing the Num-la Pass (5200m) and Bag-la Pass (5250m) is considered one of the greatest adventures in Nepal.
• Upper Dolpa….. This area includes some of the highest settlements on the earth. A large portion of this area has been set aside as Shey-Phoksundo National park, a shelter of blue sheep, Himalayan black bear and other wildlife. It is possible to make this trek with a special trekking permit and Nepal government liaison officer.
