Legend has it that the venerated Buddhist holy person, Guru Rimpoche, who spread Tibetan Buddhism all through the Himalayas, found this shrouded land more than 1700 years back.
We go through numerous antiquated cloisters and good country towns and magnificent normal landscape as we advance toward Phoksundo Lake and the legendary Shey Gompa. We investigate high knolls and fascinating towns in Upper Dolpo which has kept Bhoriya culture alive.
The most intriguing variable of this trek is that we get the opportunity to observe the social distinction of the general population of various locales, had hundreds of years back. Dolpo the high sloping settlement holds the migrants that relocated to the area a very long time prior.
