Dolpo was once an ancient Tibetan Kingdom located in the northeast part of Nepal, It opened for trekkers in 1991. The Himalayan range can be seen in all its splendour, Phoksondo Lake with Ringmo village are set within a beautiful scenic setting. Dolpo is located in the rain shadow and unaffected by the monsoon season during the summer making it a good time to visit. It is an ideal time to study both flora and fauna which are at their best at this time: orchids, edelweiss, campanulas, forget-me-nots provide a spectrum of colour.

The region contains a number of high passes and sweeping vistas within an area that is enriched by traditional Tibetan cultural heritage. There are a number of treks in the Dolpo region ranging from a few days to treks of over thirty days. One of the longest takes 34 days to complete, it is an extremely difficult trek with elevations ranging 4,530 m. to 5,115 m
