Dolpo’s individuals have their own dialect and culture in their primitive lifestyle. Only after 1990, Dolpo was accessible to visitors. Tourists are required to obtain special permits to access the area. The culture of people inhabiting this area is one of the best-preserved examples of Tibetan Buddhism in the whole world. The unique hospitality and gorgeous landscapes of the area enchant many visitors.

We will be visiting the Shey Gompa (The Crystal Monastery) which is an important pilgrimage site for Tibetans.
