Time has stood still in Dolpa for centuries. Dolpa is still very far-flung and remote than the rest of the country because up until recently there was no any roadway. This is why the ancient culture and the impeccable beauty of the region is very much intact.

The “world’s highest altitude dwellers” still practice the ancient animistic religion Bon Po which predates Buddhism. It is very interesting to know that in spite of rapid spread of Buddhism in Tibet and the adjacent areas in the 9th century Dolpo has very much retained its animistic religion. While in the region, we can visit numerous centuries old monasteries and Chortens. Shey Gompa, an important religious monument for the Buddhists lies in Dolpa.
