Trip Overview
Dolpo is protected by Shey Phoksumdo National Park. It is bounded in the east and south by Dhaulagiri and Churen Himal ranges and in the west by the Jumla. Dolpo has been deprived by development and by many other ways.
Although a few trekkers has been exploring the area, Dolpo is a Bon-pro site, where people practice a shamanistic religion predating Tibetan Buddhism. Bon-po symbolism is the opposite of Buddhist practice. You should walk to the right of ancient mud chortens, which are inscribed with swastikas with their arms pointing in the opposite direction to the Buddhist chant of "om mani padme hum", the Bon-pos chant 'om ma tri mu ye sa le du", in Tibetan this translates as "in clarity unite.
