The Dolpa
region, designated as Shey Phoksundo National Park, is the most
remote district in Nepal situated in the Trans Himalayan region
of mid-western Nepal Dolpa, known as "Ba Yul" or the hidden
valley has fascinating villages and is still a land of mystery,
scenery and peace. Dolpa is divided into two parts. The lower
part of Dolpa has Hindu influence, while inner Dolpa ispopulated
by Tibetans. A 14 days trek in the lower Dopla takes you to
Ringmo and beyond - Phoksundo Lake at 3600m also known as the
Blue Lake contains no aquatic life. The trek crosses two high
passes of Baga La (5070 m) and Numa La (5190 m) into Dho Tarap
village(4040 m) a region inhabited by people practicing
polyandry and pre-Buddhist religion called "Bon Po". The trek
follows Tarap Khola to Dunai andends with a flight to Nepalgunj.
The trek in Upper Dolpa crosses Sheula pass from Phoksundo Lake
to the legendary Crystal Mountains to Shey Gompa(4200 m) a
Buddhist monastery and further to Samling Gompa, a Bon Po
monastery. This region has a long aura of mysticism about it.
Site of Eric Valli's Oscar nominated movie "Caravan" - the
people here trade salt for grain withthe people from far away
land of Hurikot and Jumla to compensate their dwindling winter
supply of food. The return trek visits Saldan Gompa to Do Tarap
and back to Dunai (2150 m).
