UPPER
DOLPO & SHEY GOMPA
An isolated region and located inside the Shey-Phoksundo
National Park of mid -western part of Nepal and
behind the Dhaulagiri massif this trek takes you
along centuries old culture and tradition so undisturbed.
The walk passes through wonderful villages of
the Tibetans who dominate this region still cultivate
and trade the way their fore fathers had, since
time immemorial. The ecosystem here is will blend
with wild life and plants, the blue sheep and
snow leopard. For those who desire to have a glimpse
of what this trek is all about then you are recommended
to see the film Caravan. This is a Nepal-French
Co-production where the entire film has been shot
in the Dolpo and the upper Dolpo region. You’ll
be so fascinated by the gorgeous mountains plus
the natural and scenic landscape that you’d
want to be there almost instantly. Believe it
or not there is the Yartsa Gunbu-in Tibetan language
it means "summer plant, winter animal."
This is the rare species not found anywhere in
the world.
