Trek in Dolpa
Dolpa or Dolpo?
Simply put, Dolpo is a place within Dolpa! Dolpa is the region and Inner Dolpo is the small and remote Shangri-la in the north of the region. Dolpa was first opened to trekkers in 1990 and Inner Dolpo only in 1992.
Few tourists visit Dolpa but the few that make the effort are well rewarded. The trekking can be tough and remote but here you find authentic, untouched culture and unspoiled, spectacular landscapes
Its remoteness and small numbers of visitors mean that facilities are much less developed than the common trekking areas of Nepal. Trails can also be tough: rocky, very narrow and sometimes eroded by occasional landslides.
Undertaking a trek in Dolpo, for the time being at least, is for the more adventurous tourist who is content to sacrifice a little comfort in return for an unforgettable experience.
