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 neighbours by snow-covered
passes for much of the year. This is
fascinating and difficult country to travel
in.
