Ba-Yul, the hidden land of Dolpo, was first settled by Rokpa farmers and Drokpa nomads
from Tibet in the 10th century. It is one of the highest inhabited places on earth, with scattered fortress-like villages and monasteries nestling amongst mountains of stark, ascetic beauty. Though part of Nepal today, Dolpo remains culturally and economically firmly tied to Tibet, the people of this desolate area are cut of from their southern neighbors by snow-covered passes for much of the year. This is fascinating and difficult country to travel in. Most of the land of Dolpo is protected by SheyPhoksumdo National Park. - See more at: http://www.adventuremountainclub.com/upper-dolpo-to-jomsom-trek#sthash.tKozua2U.dpuf
