Dolpa is located in the Shey- Phoksundo National park of mid- western Nepal behind the Dhaulagiri massif towards the Tibetan plateau which is cut off by a series of very high passes and closed by the snowcapped hills most of the year.
Upper Dolpo trek is a strenuous but rewarding journey into Nepal's most isolated region, the frozen outpost of mythical Shey Monastery beyond Phoksundo Lake, the legendary region of Snow Leopard, the Himalayan Bharal or blue sheep,
