Dolpo Region

Dolpo is also famous for being the filming location of the movie “Himalaya” and the inspiration for the book “The Snow Leopard.” The region is home to the Shey Phoksundo National Park, which is known for its diverse flora and fauna, including the elusive snow leopard.

The trek usually starts from Juphal and passes through various villages like Dunai, Ringmo, and Shey Gompa. Along the way, you can explore ancient monasteries, interact with the friendly locals, and experience their unique culture and traditions.

The Dolpo Trek is considered a challenging trek due to its remote location and high altitude. It requires good physical fitness and prior trekking experience. However, the stunning natural beauty and the opportunity to immerse yourself in the untouched wilderness make it a truly rewarding adventure.
