For various reasons, it has taken me a while to get back to this. Previously I showed some photos from the Jumla to Rara Lake trek (& return). Once we returned back to Jumla we moved on towards Dunai and Phoksundo Lake (another 2 weeks). This is the Dolpo area which lies in a rain shadow, hence it is much dryer than the Rara Lake region. Some of you may have seen this region in a movie called Himalaya. If you haven’t seen it, it is well worth checking out just for the amazing cinematography alone.

I have a few nice photos of local village people etc which I will finish off with when I have got them together.

Fairly typical houses in the region.

Thulo River. Very dry and dusty in this region. No less beautiful though.
