Upper Dolpo Trekking

21 Days

Nestled amidst the Dhaulagiri mountain and the high Tibetan plateau, the Dolpo region is a veritable Shangri-La of your fantasies. Let’s go Upper Dolpo Trekking with Nepal Eco Adventure to a supposedly sacred place for pious Buddhists founded by Guru Rinpoche.

Trekking in the Upper Dolpo is an adventure of a lifetime. trekking to a secluded and distant part of Nepal’s mid-western area to observe the terrain in its unspoiled, untamed state and to come to terms with its remoteness. For hikers seeking an alternative to the crowded, popular trekking routes, the majority of the territory remains unknown and uncharted.

Until 1989, trekkers were prohibited from entering the entire district. As a result, this area is among the oldest and best preserved in the world. The area has only previously been studied by a small number of geographers and anthropologists. With a special authorization from Nepal Eco Adventure, organised trekking groups were able to trek in the Upper Dolpo.

Minimum of two people required to book this trip.

Overview

Travel is the movement of people between relatively distant geographical locations, and can involve travel by foot, bicycle, automobile, train, boat, bus, airplane, or other means, with or without luggage, and can be one way or round trip. Travel can also include relatively short stays between successive movements.

The origin of the word “travel” is most likely lost to history. The term “travel” may originate from the Old French word travail, which means ‘work’. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, the first known use of the word travel was in the 14th century.

It also states that the word comes from Middle English travailen, travelen (which means to torment, labor, strive, journey) and earlier from Old French travailler (which means to work strenuously, toil). In English we still occasionally use the words “travail”, which means struggle. According to Simon Winchester in his book The Best Travelers’ Tales (2004), the words “travel” and “travail” both share an even more ancient root: a Roman instrument of torture called the tripalium (in Latin it means “three stakes”, as in to impale).
