About Dolpo
Dolpo's Crystal Mountain and forbidden trans-Himalayan route represent Nepal's last authentic trekking frontier where prayer flags mark passes used for centuries of salt and wool trading. This restricted region preserves Tibetan Buddhist culture and seasonal nomadic pastoralism nearly unchanged from medieval times.
