Mid and Fat West Nepal :
 Dopla
(Dolpo)- Standing in the mid of the rudgged natural
landscape of Dolpa in all its beauty , and
experiencing its remoteness you cannot help but feel
that this is Shangri-la
- a region with an aura of mysticism about it. Dolpa
also called " Ba Yul" or Hidden Valley, has
facinaring villages and is a land of mystery, scenery
and peace. Isolated and secluded from the out side
world by spiraling high mountain passes and restricted
entry, mysteriois Dolpa had
long fascinated and frustrated travelers. David Snellgrove
first revealed the mysteries of Dolpa in his
book Himalayan Pilgrimage ( 1961). Peter Mathiessen's
description of
Shey
Gompa ( Crystal Monastery ) in Snow Leopard (
1979 ) further piqued readers' interest.
In
1988, the valleys leading to Dolpa's Shey-Phosksumdo
National Park were de restricted to irganized
trekking groups who are self - sufficient in food and
fuel. Lake Phosksumdo is the major attraction of Dolpa.
The newly promoted Dolpa experience circuit links phoksumdo
experience with the natural beauty and cultural experience
of the Dho..and other villages en route
. Another newly promoted trail Dolpa Heritage Circuit

some of thier histories going back to very early
times.
The
medicinal plant , Yarchagumba (Coerdiopsis sinensis
a type of wild muhroom is found in abundance
in this region.

health and fitness.
Shey
