Regulus recommends Lower Dolpa Trek if you wish to crowd less trekking trail & want to go for remote trekking in Nepal. Lower Dolpa is an almost unexposed area of Nepal and due to this, it is almost isolated from the country as well as the world. But, the positivity of this (being isolated) is that the destination is able to preserve its unique culture and identity, for instance, the Bon Po religion. Lack of infrastructure and developments also pushed this area far away from the reach of modern developments. Trekking in the Dolpo region has its own attraction, people here still lead an unevolved life, yet they are loyal & friendly. Trek to Lower Dolpo still offers the opportunity to meet the people and their style of living almost untouched and unexplored.
Regulus suggests Lower Dolpa trekking to those trekkers who prefer remote trekking in Nepal. The scenic beauty of Lower Dolpa such as Shey Phoksundo National Park, Phoksundo Lake, Shey Monastery, and Crystal Mountains overwhelm trekkers across the globe. The flora and fauna, landscapes, snow-capped mountains, rivers, springs, waterfalls, thatched-roofed houses, and chores of this unique destination are equally appealing to the visitors.
Situated in the northwest part of the country Lower Dolpa is located in the lower part of the Dolpa district. Dolpa is one of the ten districts of the sixth province. Trekking in the lower part of Dolpo does not require a special permit.
