Dolpo Region
Dolpo is located in the Shey- Phoksundo National Park of mid western Nepal, behind the Dhaulgiri mountain towards the Tibetan Plateau. As it is in the isolated part of Nepal, there the nature seems to have remained exactly the same as it was first created- unharmed and unaltered. Undisturbed and preserved for centuries now. Blue sheep, leopards and other interesting himalayan animals are still there in that region. To trek on Dolpo region is quite an experience of life.
