Discover the journey
The mystical land of Dolpo in western Nepal Himalaya in the Shey Phoksundo National Park is home to ancient Buddhist culture and majestic landscape. To the southwest lies Dhaulagiri, the sixth highest mountain in the world (8172 meters) due to which Dolpo lies in a rain shadow that determines much of Dolpo’s climate. Dolpo is home to some of the highest villages on earth, almost ninety percent of the region lies above 3,500 meters. The population of Dolpo is less than five thousand people, making it one of the least densely populated areas of Nepal. Its inhabitants wrest survival from this inhospitable landscape by synergizing agriculture, animal husbandry, and trade. Dolpo’s agro-pastoral livelihood is characterized by migrations between permanent villages and pastures at higher altitudes.
