One of the newest
areas of Nepal open to trekkers is the
southern part of Shey-Phoksundo National
Park. The center of attraction is lovely
Lake Phoksundo, famous for the
ever-changing colors ofits waters. Here
one-steps on to the edge of the
trans-Himalayan plateau that extends
from Tibet
down into Nepal. This is the region of
some of Nepal’s most remarkable
wildlife, including the blue sheep, the
serow and the snow leopard. Dolpo
(sometimes written Doplpa) is the most
remote and least developed district in
Nepal. The western half of the area has
been set aside as SHE- PHOKSUNDO
National Park. Although a few
anthropologists and geographers had
explored the region, the entire district
was closed to trekkers until 1989 when
the southern part of Dolpa was opened to
organized trekking groups. Peter
Matthieseu's "The Snow Leopard" and
Snellgrove's "Himalayan Pilgrimage" have
contributed in revealing the mystery and
attraction of Dolpo. Dolpo lies between
Dhorpatan and Rara and two of those
treks could be combined into a single
tour from Pokhara to
Jumla. A stunningly blue lake called
Phossundo Tal is situated in Dolpo.
