Western Nepal is far less developed with fewer facilities, so the region is quite a different proposition then other parts of the country. Access is also far harder, especially to areas such as Humla, Jumla and Dolpa. All of this makes trekking much more explorative and intending and trekkers must be prepared for some delays and hardships. It is also considerably expensive to trek in the remote parts of the west. This Part is very rich in flora and fauna. Valuable medicinal herbs that are found in the higher regions are an important source of income for the locals. The western Nepal, especially Upper & Lower Dolpo region, is also known as medicine hills.

Dolpo is located inside the shey-phoksundo National Park of mid-western Nepal, behind the Dhaulagiri massif towards the Tibetan Plateau. It is a virgin and divine land and  truly an isolated corner of Trans Himalayan Zone. There the nature seems to have remained exactly the same as it was first created, unharmed and unaltered. People here still lead primitive life, but they are very friendly. This is also one of few areas where pre-Buddhist Bon Po religion is still practiced. One of the main attractions in Dolpo is Phoksundo Lake and its waterfall. The lake at 3,627m, is the deepest lake in entire Himalayan Region. Nature created a unique and wonderful treasurer like Dolpo, which is being the shelter of many rare alpine living beings.
