The northern part of Dolpo is usually
called Inner Dolpo and has always had an aura of
mysticism.
The high valleys of Dolpo are some sign of the most
remarkable in the himalya with sweeping views stretching
to the arid Tibetan plateau. Trekking here offers a real
adventure, in a remote, unspoiled. part of Nepal that
has remained largely untracked and unexplored. Our trek
begins with a flight to jumla via Nepalgunj. The first
part of trek is not difficult and provides delightful
walking before joining ancient trade routes and the
steep ascent to cross the Kagmara La (5225m0, our
entrance to upper Dolpo. The scenery begins to change
with the hills becoming shades of red, brown and gray.
Eventually you can hear prayer flag fluttering at the
top of the pass, and the view opens up dramatically
looking east towards the snow peaks of the kanjiroba
Himal and the five peaks of Dhaulagiri. We soon walk
through the pleasant green pastures to the beautiful
Phoksundo (Rigmo) lake. The scenery is |

|
outstanding with the deep blue waters
of the lake contrasting with the weathered red and brown
hills. |

This trek, to Nepal’s remote and seldom
seen Wild West, is possibly one of the best long treks
in the Himalaya. This follows the route taken by Peter
Matthiessen and immortalized in his famous book The Snow
Leopard. The Dolpo area was also the area where Rodney
Jackson, a naturalist, conducted his study on the
elusive snow leopards which became the subject of a
National Geographic article and a book - Vanishing
Tracks. |
