Discover Dolpo with Himalayan Companion Treks and Expedition
As some trekking trails like the Annapurna and Everest circuits have become popular over the years by thousands of trekkers from all over the world, there are places like the Dolpo region which are yet to be visited by many. Dolpo was first brought into attention amongst Nepali and especially international travellers by Eric Valli in 1999 through his film, ‘Caravan’. I watched Caravan in a crowded and old Jai Nepal Cinema hall before it was revamped and renovated into what it is today and although I barely remember the plot, I remember the turquoise blue lake, rugged trails with yaks, a unique culture with men in braided hairstyles and of course the infamous Thinley. The scenic beauty never left my memory, but it is only after almost 19 years after watching the movie, that one of our Tourovation companies, Himalayan Companion Treks and Expedition connected the dots for me and reminded me of the existence of Dolpo, a hidden and sacred beauty of Nepal.
