Jumla and Dolpo Trek

Dolpo, the Nepalese translation of the Tibetan word “Ba Yul” which means a hidden valley is a land of mystery, scenery and peace. This area shares border with Tibet in the north and is overlooked by Dhaulagiri from the south. The main attraction in Dolpo is the mountain valleys, rare flora and fauna and very friendly people. The medicinal plant, Yarchagumba (Coerdiopsis sinensis) a type of wild mushroom is found in abundance in this region. Extracts from Yarchagumba is believed to significantly improve health and fitness. This trekking is for combination of natural and cultural phenomena which is enriched by the traditional Tibetan cultural heritage. This area was closed till 1991 for outsiders and still is a restricted area, for which trekkers have to complete lots of formalities and should also pay higher entry permit fees to enter in this region for trekking. The whole trekking areas in this region stretches through and around Arun River whose origin dates back to prehistoric period. The Arun valley is one of the most beautiful regions to trek in Nepal and is home to the Spinny Babbler a small bird only found in Nepal. Dolpo is protected by Shey-Phoksundo National Park. It lies to the north of the Dhaulagiri Range bordering the Tibetan Plateau. Here one can find a well-preserved eco-system of plants and wildlife, including the blue sheep and the elusive snow leopard.
