Dolpa Fixed Departure - Nepal

Dolpa was another area that was restricted to foreigners until a few years back. Partly made famous by Peter Matthiesen,s The Snow Leopard, Dolpa remains one of the most remote places in Nepal and is famous for its high mountain lake, Phoksumdo, and the Buddhist monasteries around the lake. There are many possible ways of doing the Dolpa trek varying from the 'short' two weeks to more than a month. Going for the shorter ones involves flying to nearby airfields while the others start from the road-heads of Baglung (near Pokhara), Sallyan of Surkhet (both in the western part of Nepal). This is certainly one of the tougher treks of Nepal.
