Dolpo region is an enormous part of western Nepal. It covers 15% of the total area of Nepal. Cut off by a series of very high passes, closed by snow most of the year; Dolpo truly remains an isolated corner of Nepal. In spite of its huge geographical coverage, this region has very little population with no definite numbers but an estimation of 5,000 to 18,000. It is a hidden valley believed to be created by a Buddhist deity for his worshipers.
Shey Phoksundo National Park:
Dolpo region is located inside the Shey Phoksumdo National Park of mid-western Nepal, behind the North side of the Dhaulagiri massif towards the Tibetan plateau. Shey Phoksundo National Park is the largest national park in Nepal. The park got its name from the presence of Phoksundo Lake and Shey Monastery. Phoksundo Lake is the deepest lake of Nepal with the depth of 145 m (476 ft) while Shey Monastery/Gumba is an ancient heritage built in 11th century. The park is the home for different wild animals such as Snow Leopard, Wild Dog, Marmot, Weasel, Mouse Hare, Rhesus Monkey, Musk deer, Ghoral, Sheep, Himalayan Black Bear, Himalayan Thar and Jackal where as it consist of flora like blue pine, spruce, hemlock, cedar, silver fir, poplar, rhododendron, and bamboo.
Time had stood still here for centuries, so has the inhabitants' way, since time immemorial. The finely preserved ecosystem encompasses a wild and wonderful variety of plants and wildlife, including the blue sheep and snow leopards. Dolpo trek through the Mustang is an experience that cannot be easily forgotten.
