Dolpo Region (ave altitude 13,000 ft; 4,000 m), The
Tibet in Nepal
  he best
known of the many isolated high Himalayan valeys across northern Nepal, Dolpo preserves
one of the last remnants of traditional Tibetan Culture. Legends sayit's a bayul, one of
the "hidden valleys" created by Guru Rimpoche as a refuge for devout Buddhists
in troubled times. Surrounded by high mountains including the Dhaulagiri massif to the
southeast and cut off by high passes closed by snow half the year, Dolpo's easiest access
is from Tibet, where people emigrated from perhaps 1,000 years ago.Upper Dolpo sherlters aroun 5,000 people, whose lives revolve around Buddhism, barley, and yaks; their villages (over 4,260 m) are among the highest settlements on earch. A large protion of the region is set aside by Shey Phoksundo National Park established to secure trans-himalayan ecosystem. This includes animals such as blue sheep, Himalayan black bear, leopards, wolves, and the ellusive snow-leopard. The Park conserves the largest lake of Nepal, Shey Phoksundo, and the reedeeming feature of the trek would be the lake itself, considered one of the most beautiful places in Nepal. Adventure Makalu announces one long trek package to the region where, you'd enjoy the contrasting Tibetan and Nepali culture sharing the same area. 1.
