THE DOLPA SECTION

Legend says Dolpa is a Beyul, one of the

“hidden valleys” created by Guru rinpoche

as a refuge for devout Buddhists and

those of exceptionally pure mind. Long ago

settled by nomads from Tibet, this hidden

land is one of the highest inhabited places

on earth, with scattered fortress-like

villages and monasteries nestling amongst

mountains of stark, ascetic beauty.

with it’s turquoise jewel of Phoksundo lake,

authentic Tibetan culture and adventurous

trails through wild landscapes, Dolpa is a

paradise for trekkers.
