There is one book which is called The Snow Leopard. Wrote by Peter Matthiessen who describes his journey through the amazingly beautiful landscape of Dolpo. Nepal’s first English subtitle movie which is Oscar-nominated Himalaya, Caravan also shot in this region. Upper Dolpo is a region of mystical beauty. It is one of the restricted trekking regions of Nepal. For this trekking needs a special permit. This trek should be a minimum of two-person to get a permit. This trekking is a kind of adventure trek where trekkers need to carry all the needed things for whole trekking because this trekking is just the Camping trek. Which is more challenging than other trekking due to high passes trail.
