Western Nepal Trekking
Far from the busy trails of Everest and Annapurna lies Nepal's last great wilderness. Western Nepal, the Dolpo region and the wider Karnali Province are home to turquoise lakes, remote Tibetan-Buddhist and Bon villages, high desert plateaus, ancient trade routes and some of the least visited mountain landscapes in the entire Himalaya. Made famous by Peter Matthiessen's classic book The Snow Leopard and the film Himalaya (Caravan), this region offers trekkers a rare chance to experience a Nepal where yak caravans still cross high passes, monasteries sit silently on cliff edges, and you may walk for days without meeting another group. For experienced trekkers and true adventure seekers, Western Nepal is the ultimate journey off the beaten path.
