Day 22 Departure
to the Airport
|
Dolpa is located
inside the Shey- Phoksundo National Park of mid westerns Nepal,
behind the Dhaulagiri massif towards the Tibetan platue. Out off
by a series of very high passes closed by snow most of the
year, Doipa remains a truly isolated corner of Nepal. Time has stood
still here for centuries as the inhabitants of Tibetan stock continue
to live, cultivate and commerce the way they have done since time
immemorial. The finely preserved eco-system encompasses a wildlife, including
the blue sheep and the snow Leopard. A trek through Dolpa is an experience
not easily forgotten.
