Lower 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, 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 lives, but they are very friendly. This is also one of few areas where the pre-Buddhist Bon Po religion is still practiced. One of the main attractions in Lower Dolpo is Phoksundo Lake and its waterfall. The lake at 3627m is the deepest lake in entire Himalayan Region. Nature created a unique and wonderful treasure like Lower Dolpo, which provides shelter for many rare alpine flora, fauna and people. In spite of tough trails and rugged topography, the journey to Lower Dolpo area is a life time experience. Tourists rarely visit the Lower Dolpo Region. The trekking trail is very narrow and steep in some places, so good hiking experience is essential for this trek
