The ethereal part of Western Nepal known as Dolpo is cut off from the outside world by high passes and only a few trekkers will ever visit this place. Our exceptional trek leaders will bring you into this remote, rare world of the old Bon and Buddhist area. We will follow ancient trails to the remote high altitude villages where the people still live as their ancestors did as barley farmers, semi-nomadic yak herders wearing traditional handspun wool robes and boots.
