Upper Dolpo:
A journey of two halves, the trek is a difficult one with the high pass at Jhangla to negotiate, quite a few days are taken up hiking through lower-elevation forests with panoramic mountain views before entering into some spectacular high mountain scenery.The Inhabitants of Dolpo are of Tibetan stock most continue to live, cultivate and trade the way they have always done, they are skilled traders who often traverse the Tibetan Plateau with their Yak caravans.The itinerary includes rest and acclimatisation days and enough time for good exploration of the area.There are people who travel to Nepal,sometimes every year, just to return to this region. For them Dolpo is Nepal and Kathmandu something they must negotiate on the way. They speak of wonderful scenery and amazing trekking in an extremely rich and different landscape.
