Located in the central west of the country,
relatively rarely visited the remote and wild distinct Dolpo
area offers wonderful chance to experience a landscape and
culture far different from that seen in other part of the
country. It is the part of the Tibetan Plateau and generally
dry. It is the habitant of various rare and endangered plant and
wildlife species many of which can be seen nowhere also in the
country. To enter the Upper Dolpo remote and sparely populated
area a special restricted area permit must be obtained. A
government appointed liaison officer must also accompany the
group. |
