Upper Dolpo Trekking is the trek to one of the least developed places. This trek is one of Nepal’s most difficult treks in Nepal. The government did not give any incentives for tourists to visit this region until 1989. Between the Tibetan Plateau and the Dhaulagiri Himalayan range sits the Dolpo Region. In reality, this location is the highest populated land in the Dolpo region. It is an extremely remote region in Nepal. After all, it had been totally off-limits until recently.
