Lower Dolpo 16 days

Dolpa region continue their centuries-old barter trade with Tibet, and around Tarap, the interior of this alluring and exotic region, most villages are still distinctly Tibetan. The mingling of cultures is fascinating here, for while the Tibetan population is relatively small, much of the practice of Hinduism has taken on a Buddhist mien. It is interesting to see how the pre-Buddhist religion, Bön, is practiced here - notice, for example, how unlike in Hinduism and Buddhism, circumambulations are done counter-clockwise, and mani walls and chhorten are passed on the right. The mysterious villages, insular people, the extremely rugged terrain, the religion, the legendary Crystal Mountain, and the shockingly blue lake where no aquatic life lives - all this makes Dolpo one of the most fascinating of all places in Nepal
