Dolpo Region
The Dolpo Region is a remote and mystical trekking destination located in the far-western part of Nepal, within the boundaries of Shey Phoksundo National Park.

It offers trekkers a glimpse into traditional Tibetan life, with stunning landscapes that include deep valleys, high mountain passes, and the stunning turquoise waters of Phoksundo Lake.
