Trekking in the Dolpo region is graded as an extraordinary one. Trekkers will get the chance to explore the stunning mountain views, diverse landscapes, the wild and rare flora, and also the Himalayan animals as well as birds.

Tibetan and Buddhist inhabitants are the locals of Dolpo. Kanjiroba and Dhaulagiri are seen as much clear from this place.

Phoksundo Lake is a jewel of Dolpo. The lake is also known as Shey- Phoksundo Lake. It is the deepest lake in Nepal.
