Upper Dolpo Shey Gompa Trekking

Dolpo, a land beyond the Himalaya, conjures up visions of mysterious monasteries, snow leopards and blue sheep; it is situated in the western part of the country, and is one of the most remote regions in Nepal. The Shey Gompa, to the north of the Phoksumdo Lake, inner Dolpo are the goal of most trekkers but this Dolpo trek will take you even further into this mysterious land. The people that live here number only a few hundred and are among the world's highest dwellers. It is here specifically that people still practice the pre-Buddhist Bon Po religion. This early sect was almost entirely replaced after Buddhist doctrine began to spread across Tibet in the 9th century.
