Dolpo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dolpo is a region in Nepal. The Dolpo people (or "Dolpo-pa" in their own language) live in the Himalayan range of Dhaulagiri near the Tibetan border. The Dolpo-pa have a culture more Tibetan than Nepalese.
The lives of the Dolpo-pa were portrayed in the oscar-nominated film "Himalaya -l'enfance d'un chef"[1], in 1999.
A trek from Kathmandu to Dolpo is portrayed in the book "The Snow Leopard" by Peter Matthiessen.
"High Frontiers: Dolpo and the Changing World of Himalayan Pastoralists" by Ken Bauer was published by Columbia University Press in 2004.
