The Dolpa region, designated as Shey Phoksundo National Park, is the most remote district in Nepal situated in the Trans Himalayan region of mid-western Nepal Dolpa, known as "Ba Yul" or the hidden valley has fascinating villages and is still a land of mystery, scenery and peace. Dolpa is divided into two parts. The lower part of Dolpa has Hindu influence, while inner Dolpa ispopulated by Tibetans. A 14 days trek in the lower Dopla takes you to Ringmo and beyond - Phoksundo Lake at 3600m also known as the Blue Lake contains no aquatic life.
