Dolpa explorer trek is one of the most recommended trekking packages of Actual Adventure Private Limited. We are organizing this trek since long time ago in a well systematic way. Dolpa Surrounded by high mountain ranges remains one of the few forbidden border regions of Nepal. The last vestiges of traditional Tibetan culture can be found in this visually stunning region of high plateau`s and striking landscapes made famous in the Eric Valli film `Himalaya`. Here remains some of the highest settlements on earth where the villagers grow their crops of barley and herd their yaks. We travel over several high passes to Inner Dolpo with its stunning Phoksumdo Lake. First opened to trekkers in 1992, Dolpo has seen a very limited number of westerners over the years, and this trek will appeal to those seasoned travellers in search of an authentic Himalayan experience.Lunch & Dinner during Kathmandu stay

Dolpo People - "West of the upper Kali Gandaki, at around 4000 metres, lies the remote area of Dolpo. Surrounded by mountains over 6000m, this landscape can only be successfully inhabited by tough, hardy people. The people of Dolpo do not have a tribal name, like Sherpas, or a district name, like Lopa. There are 25 or 30 villages spread over an area of about 1300 square kilometres. The Dolpo people are very hospitable and kind, and grow most of the crops they need, as well as keeping yaks, sheep and goats for meat, wool and milk products, or to be sold or traded. Their houses are built of rough stone and all huddled together, as though trying to gain warmth and comfort from each other. This often makes the villages look like forts. Their traditional ‘fancy’ dress for women includes a striking headdress made of two rectangular brass plates with edges that turn up over the top and back of the head. These headdresses are adorned with coral and turquoise and often represent the wealth of the family. They marry by choice or arrangement, and follow Buddhism and Bon. The 1998 movie ‘Caravan’ (also called ‘Himalaya’) was shot here and told the tale of the salt caravans. You can still find locals in villages such as Saldang who appeared in the film."
